No harm in going a larger size. You will need green stuff to keep some of the magnets in place. If you havent done that before, I recommend adding superglue between the model and green stuff while you are sculpting. Saves a step, because the green stuff usually falls off in a week.

Mind posting a pic or two of the magnet contact points? I want to magnetize mine as well once it comes in the mail.
Here you go. I prefer the strength of the 3/8" magnet for the raised arm, as that is the most easily bumped. The other 2 work fine with the 1/8" for now.
I just remembered I have a few nurglings to paint and put on this guy, so he's not 100% done, but I think Glottkin deserves my attention more right now.

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?
I'll get the exact colors when I get back, but black primer, dark grey base coat, agrax wash, dark pink drybrush, twice, and then spot drybrushed tan flesh. The mix of brown and pink turns it purple but there is no purple.
See below.
Arrowhead and Camelia pink are Martha Stewart
The mystery color is the third one over. It's kind of a rose pink, and goes on thin. The next one is unmarked but is Ceramcoat "medium flesh." The one on the end is "Fleshtone."
The last two are not used for the basic skin tone, but in combination with the rose and medium flesh, I use these four to paint all skin lesions and boils.

Www, That skin! Can You post full Body Images?
In my army, the only thing naturally green is the flies. The green comes from copper, armor, and cloth. That's still a lot of green though...

Just got my first magnetized GUO done. I think I woke him up.

That's the way I read it. The portal is the origin point of the spell. The caster is where you measure to dispel it.
I think we all agree that the concept of "point of origin" would answer this question differently. It's going to need an errata to get there. Right now, the caster's base is the GUO's base.
-
How's this working? Where do you find this?
I am the finder, I guess. I posted this in the main forum in the endless spell discussion a few days ago.
The portal only affects range and line of sight. As written, the caster is still the Great Unclean One for everything except range. In order for it to work any differently, there needs to be something in rules that makes the portal the caster for all aspects of the spell (or at least for drawing a line for THIS spell). I was waiting to see if that changed in the FAQ.
Certainly outside of Thrice, it's not going to turn heads. Thrice is all about that spell, and they wrote that book with 2.0 in mind, so this may all be the master plan.
-
OK, going to throw this in the Nurgle thread (the real Nurgle thread this time) now that the FAQs bypassed the "issue." I believe it's legit now.
The spell is GUO's Plague Wind, cast through the Spellportal. Pick a point within 14" of the spellportal. Sounds fine so far. Then draw a line up to (34" or so) back to the caster. Deal D3 mortals to all units hit (3D3 if using Thrice Befoulment).
I don't know about you guys, but that's nice enough for me to buy a third GUO.
-
Spamming is gone everywhere, but Glottkin and GUO can still be stacked. It's a win for Nurgle. Yeah, it's expensive, but 2 models we love to take anyway.

Hi,
are Plague Drones really that good? Are they the best hammer we can get?
Or are the Pusgoyle Blightlords the better hammer?
Someone mathed it out in the 1.0 thread. Drones with +2 attacks versus Pusgoyles with +1 attack, and it was much closer than people thought. Drones win damage.
And resilience... Pusgoyles have it.
I like Pusgoyles because they can fill the battleline tax with LoA general (which is my favorite general). It's like having drones without having to bring PBs.

There it is, The "FAQ" FAQ!

Why would you give cogs and favored poxes to the GUO? If it went off he cant move and then you would be wasting 3 casts next turn! Also GUO with cogs, endless gift would be straight up unkillable. LOL
Favored poxes is the last spell I cast on the turn the GUO is already in combat with the largest unit in game. He has already endured at least 1, maybe 2 turns of retaliation. If prior turn spells went well, it's contagion phase 2. Barf/breathe for damage.
Endlist gift is great, but I always choose something offensive.

Yes, but his Iron Jaws hitting on 6s was not Fun for Him. Ive not seen This Trick normally so I wanted to try It.
Rotigus, underperformed so Im Thinking on Giving up on GUOs of any Flavour. The PlagueClaw did a Very good Job.
I'm a big fan of the GUO with the bell and blade, Favored Poxes, Cogs and Pestilence Breath. Its a wizard and a tar pit.

Our summoning isn’t bad, it wins games. It just isn’t what everyone else’s is.
I could be wrong but I think chasing incidental Contagion Points with things like Epi and the Lord is sort of a red herring.
Slimux on the other, I think that guy is the bees knees. Since his ability and tree farming happen at the same time you get to pick the order. So turn one sees you getting 6-10 points on turn one. Coupled with the fact that Slimux is actually decent in combat and dude seems like a winner in any list.
My problem is with low point lists. How high a point range is needed to field Slimux, something with Ambush, something to stay in your deployment zone, something to manipulate the corruption cycle, and something to go for objectives and win? That's a lot of somethings.

Any idea if a verminlord and other skaven would work in the plaguetouched battalion on a competitive level?
Unless they changed it, skaven are not mortal.

I have the new GUO magnetized and one of the old metal GUO (which I will eventually have ride a mound of Nurglings). To round out Thrice, how is the Forgeworld GUO? There are other metal versions out there I could try to acquire as well. The last option is to try my hand at sculpting my own, and maybe using the magnetized parts from the plastic one to bring it all together.
Basically, if I'm going to run 3 unclean ones, I want 3 completely different sculpts. Thoughts?

Assembling the Harbinger and had a quick question: is he supposed to come with a 75mm base when recommended (and common sense) is 60mm?

I actually think its the absolute WORST summon at this point. Horticulous gives you a FREE tree and the free tree at the begining of the game is all you will need IN MY OPINION. The only use for summoning another tree is two reasons:
A. You dont run Horticulous
B. You want to plug a whole between terrain features and block an opponent's path. I have done this. Once dropped a tree between two features and blocked 40 plague monks from getting a clean charge on Glotkin!
I think this completely overlooks the best use of the tree: To permit a run/charge. Because of the timing of summoning, it's basically foolproof.
1) Gather points in the hero phase.
2) Run
3) At end of movement phase, summon a tree behind the unit that runs.
4) At the beginning of charge phase, models that ran can now charge.
The "simple" math adds D6 to a charge attempt, but it's much better than that. It increases the odds of a charge success, the maximum threat of your whole army, and the angles which you can approach. I've been using this tactic in all my games, and I rarely give up the alpha strike.
The problem with Slimux's tree is that it is deployed in the hero phase. You don't get the benefit of moving forward before placing it. For now, I have tabled Slimux in favor of another wizard.
Movement phase summoning was meant to reduce the effectiveness of summoning a powerful unit like Plague Drones. I don't know that they considered the benefit of summoning trees that late.

I had this idea that those two would work in conjunction so that a hidden sorcerer could keep casting from far, far away (avoiding the dispells that'll be more prevalent now) but I've absolutely no testing experience that this works
Nurgle doesn't need to hide its heroes. They are all pretty resilient. I'd march them up with your Kings.
-
Stacking commands is a one shot tactic, unlikely to change the game outcome. I used it last week to put a lot of hurt on skeletons, but it fell short. Granted, without stacked +attacks I might not have even dented their ranks.
I wouldn't keep more than 1-2 spare commands, and then only if you have multiple good abilities for the alpha.
I think for AOS 2, a good "stacking" Nurgle game would be:
1 stackable command (GUO or Glottkin)
1 non-stackable command (HoD, LoA, etc)
2-4 spells worth of wizards
1 predatory endless (if you place 2, your opponent always controls 1)
0-1 non-predatory endless
Batallion (for command point and second artifact)
Either Lords with LoA for battleline or Kings otherwise.
Gnarlmaws (best use of summoning points, imo)
The combination of our spells (debuffs), one-time attack buff, and our resilience makes for a good attrition game. I don't see a place for Slaves right now.

So, I can save 4 cp and trigger lord o plagues.command ability 4 times in a single hero phase?!
Check the Maggotkin errata. Our cheaper commands are not spammable on a single unit. I do not recall if Plagues was on that list.
Unfortunately, those errata did not make it to the app like I had hoped.

I've been eyeing this for a while now. Stands over 12" tall, but the base is only 120mm. His head would be as tall as Glottkin, which feels right.
I'm just looking for a suitable wooden structure to put on his back. If I could make one from scratch, I'd just sculpt an elephant by scratch lol.

Not for me, but I appreciate the Witherstave's simplicity.
