    I find the mobility of affliction cyst coupled with Gutrot allows you to fight on your own terms.
  2. That was my quick conclusion as well. Just digging through books figuring how to survive a zombie dragon w/lord, striking first & attacking twice.
  3. Doppleganger cloak on a GUO: could you choose not to attack in melee and not be attacked in return? Im thinking it would be a clever way to get favored poxes off on a particularly nasty foe. Nevermind, doesnt work.
  4. Just the mandatory 6. 5 were still alive after round 3, though he fake-spelled LoA to death after experiencing rustfang.
  5. Affliction cyst and great unclean one held their own against two bloodthirsters this week. At the bottom of 3, I was only one Victory Point behind. The bigger bloodthirster went down quickly when his axe arm was incapacitated by Gutrot. The smaller bloodthirster devoured the previously assumed inedible GUO. Wherever the flies showed up, things died. Wherever they were missing, i took casualties. The harbinger of decay was notably hard to kill, taking exactly 7 wounds after being pummeled with 60+ attacks and 13+ mortal wounds. Turn 4 would have turned sour , because it's entirely too easy for them to summon another bloodthirster. I was running out of tricks. In all, I made big mistakes costing me the game, but the affiction cyst allowed me to control the battlefield. Will get better!
  6. Now, now, 100 points is "free." I think of it as buying a command and an item. For 100 more points, 4 units (which cost 80 more before the change) take up one setup slot. Going first is critical. Thats not bad for a 20 point investment.
  7. I find the models competitive enough, and just got 100 point back!
  8. i havent played a lot, but in my meta, Nurgle has been a beast. I play LoA with blightlord battalions, GUO, Glot. Not a lot of horde lists, or id be toast.
  9. Lol, ouch. Only Maggotkin action Ive seen lately is buying a random used Blightlord with bell to round out my Affliction Cyst. Low on the painting queue.
  10. Forget the warscroll, the spellportal has a FAQ on this exact question. Assuming it hasn't changed, you measure the end of the line from the portal, but the beginning of the line is still the GUO base. A huge 30+" line!
  11. I am reminded of my 1995 squig hopper list where they took out the favored chaos lord in one turn. Changed the entire tournament, and I didn't even place. Nothing like good old fashioned lucky dice.
  12. In all seriousness, if you've just managed to limp away from a horde of hopping mushrooms with teeth and the moon gives you the stink eye and starts throwing rocks at you... You've probably lived long enough.
  13. The best block, no be there. -Mr. Miyagi
  14. Rules that are already in the game under the Nurgle banner... Cycle of corruption #6, D3 mortals on D3 units. Potentially available every turn.
  15. Gents! Take a look at the very last question of the Malign Sorcery FAQ. It's official! Thrice Befoulment can shoot plague winds dealing 3D3 mortals in excess of 30".
  16. I agree, pink and green is just the right touch of yuck. I just finished this bad boy, cept for some nurglings and basing.
  17. It's way down my list, but eventually my final Pusgoyle fly will have its wings shredded, abdomen cracked, and pull itself along with its front legs.
  18. In Nurgle, I like the Soul Grinder. It can run/shoot/charge. Throw out a few movement shenanigans and it's a rocket!
  19. You need a pair of those old Ariel wings. "I'm a beautiful butterfly!"
  20. I play Virulent Blade with Rustfang on Lord of Afflictions. Those -3 and -4 saves carve up the big stuff pretty good.
  21. The only other thing I can recommend is possibly incorporating the gnarlmaw somehow, like making that right leg more of a tree stump (with the gaping gnarlmaw mouth) and adding the tubes. It's a great idea.
  22. As I understand it from AoS rules, leader is a distinction in the pitched battle profile, and per the FAQ everything in the PTWB is Everchosen. I see no reason why slaves with Nurgle marks aren't valid battleline and the heroes certainly use up allowed hero/leader limits.
  23. That's interesting. I'm not familiar with the idea of "hq selections." is this something in the Everchosen tome?
  24. Check the latest FAQ. There should be no more ambiguity. PTWB models are allies everywhere but Everchosen and GA:C. It does not matter that the PTWB units are Nurgle, they are still allies.
