    Had my first Nurgle battle today and i had a blast, I'm glad I chose this army. A question on plague drones - I was thinking their Locus of Contagion ability would up ALL their attacks, both the riders plague swords/shooting and all the drones various attacks. Likewise i thought the GUO's Grandfather's Joy would boost ALL that models attacks, not just the riders. However my opponent states that the faqs stipulate that such bonuses only go to riders, not mounts, so the drones were SOL. Hes a good egg and I kinda remembered reading that once before I took a break from the game so I went with it - but i wanted to check with you experienced Nurgle generals- do the drones themselves not enjoy the bonus attacks of these abilities? I looked at the maggotkin and chaos faqs and didn't see any clarification. Thanks all

    I was getting ready to put spare Skaven heads on some spare Warriors of Chaos I had laying around. Didn't know if it'd look too ridiculous. Then again, just about anything goes with Skaven so..

    Awesome thanks. I'm going to try to speed paint this army, so I'm thinking dark brown primer, dry brush dark pink, agrax shade, drybrush dark pink again then highlight tan. I hope it comes pretty close.

    That looks really cool. I'm trying to figure out my color scheme for my newly assembled force and this one is really interesting. What was it, black undercoat, progressive layers of lighter purple dry brushing and then washed with violet?

    It was under Verminous Discussion in the Chaos forum. However, after further discussion, people (Skaven people to boot) seem to think it's pretty clear that the Crown/Deathrunner/etc combos are kaput..

    Hmm...yeah y'all are probably right....damn, my two new Deathrunners are going back into the Plano box, I guess... ☹️

    My thoughts exactly. The Crown of Conquest should still be a viable tactic, I would think. It's benefit is passive. It is not "used" or otherwise specifically activated by the Deathrunner. I believe this clarifies things like each Deathrunner doesn't get to roll for something like cunning deceiver, which I don't think was ever intended to be allowed, but passive effects aren't "used" - they just exist. I'm curious how people interpret this.

    The Crown of Conquest should still be a viable tactic though, I would think. It's benefit is passive. It is not "used" or otherwise specifically activated by the Deathrunner. A question was brought up in the Verminus thread - if each Deathrunner has a unit within range of its crown - do they both disappear? Of course not.

    Greetings Nurglenerds! I'm just getting back into AoS after a long break, and I thought my renewed interest in the game should accompany a renewed army. I think Nurgle models are truly awesome and am looking at going with them. I currently play Skaven, and while they're super fun, I want to make sure my next army is more ....reliably competitive...before laying down some dough. With the new edition and me being out of the game so long, the answer is harder to research - so i ask you, do you current Nurgle players feel that the army will continue to be a strong one in this new edition? Thanks for your input!

    As a little tangent: I'm sure I'm not the first one to do this, but I hadn't come across it on the interwebz yet. If you want a couple of Deathrunners but are having a hard time coming across the models, kitbashing some Bloodbowl Gutterunners (2 come in the back) with some Stormvermin weapons a leader heads (finally a use for my Stormvermin kit ? ) gives what I think are some pretty descent Deathrunner twins.

    Alright cool thanks. Good advice, I'll adjust acordingly.

    Hi all! Just returning to the new AOS after a lot of time away. Gonna try to get some games in this week, was curious for any feedback on this 1250 pt list to see if I'm probably on the right track: Allegiance: Chaos General: Deathrunner w/ Crown Screaming bell 1x40 Clanrats - spears 1x40 Clanrats - spears 1x5 Acolytes 1x3 Stormfieds - warp fire projector 1x Warplightining Cannon -1250 exact ----- I thought about dropping the acolytes and replacing with a Packmaster for the Stormfiends (who'd be armed with Shock Gauntlets, in that case..) Thanks for any input!

    Thank ya! Hmmm I think I see why I'm confused....the free core "rules" download doesn't have them (nor does the GH18), meaning, I suppose, the hardcover Core "Book" that came in the box set has the grand alliance abilities now....which conveniently means to get them, one has to shell out another 30 to 50 bucks to get a digital or physical copy.... Unless, is anyone aware if they have the GA allegiance abilities free to download somewhere still? I can't seem to find them free anywhere...
  15. Mattbringssoda
    Can someone tell me where this is published? I just updated the app but the Chaos allegiance abilities don't match this...

    I've always thought that (sort of) mechanic would be a great way to solve the first player advantage in strict turn order vs double turns deciding the game.
