I have just 1 command point
There's not much point in having glottkin and harbinger then, unless you save up over turns to activate both command abilities?
-
How many command points will you have? Glottkin is a lot of points for 1000pts to be honest!

Thricefold befoulment with a bunch of chaff isn't so bad I hear
I'd say it's great in many instances, but against any army with bonuses to dispell it's far far too expensive for what you're getting.

Hi all, returning to Nurgle, what is in the meta currently regarding Nurgle?
Don't play Nurgle?
But seriously, there's a few builds. Drone Bomb is still great, but it's now harder to get blades of putrefaction on it in AoS 2.

Great Unclean one
5xPutrid Blightkings
5xPutrid Blightkings
30 plaguebearers or 10 chaos knight
For 1k you have 4 squads for objective control and some damage
Remember GUO's command ability only works on daemon units, so you'd have to take the plaguebearers to make it worthwhile.

Far from exhaustive here but I’d say that a GUO is a good all-round bet as he is tough to take down and a solid spell caster who can dish out melee damage too. Plus that model is off the scale amazing.
The Glottkin is generally but not always taken in mortal lists, his unique spells of +1 wound on models in a unit and his +1 attack on a unit command ability are awesome. He has big wounds but can be focus fired down in a turn or two so beware.
You seem to be running mortals so I guess Da Glott but the model isn’t to everyone’s taste.
I'd diverge slightly- the GUO is a terrible melee damage dealer. If you take him with a sword, you're missing out on the bell (the biggest reason to take GUO) and if you take the flail for damage you miss on the bileblade- what makes the GUO the best spellcaster for Nurgle. Otherwise, i'm with you on GUO!
I think Glottkin is undervalued by Nurgle players. For 80pts more you get a far better command ability, the best nurgle spell there is (Except perhaps Rotigus' spell) and way better damage output if you do have him in combat. Plus the shooting attack, though hard to get off, is very powerful. Plus Horrific Opponent for -1 bravery. Major issues are no way to boost magic casting, only 1 dispel, and no disgusting resilience means he can't last as long as a GUO.
I have both- when I take GUO I can get him close to the action and usually get more spells off. With Glottkin, i usually keep him a bit further back as he's less resilient, but his spell can make 30 plaguebearers outlast almost anything! Plus if you can get him into combat at full health, he's pretty decent.

I strongly disagree with the majority of these statements. First, the only unit in the start collecting box that likely will never be considered for play is nurglings. The rest of the units range between good(poxbringer/drones) to amazing(plaguebearers).
Nurglings are an excellent unit to summon onto a objective. The whole SC box is great really. It's just the poxbringer is not used in net-lists generally, but it's a decent choice for cheap deamon spell casting.

The new seraphon battletome has been more or less done for a while, bar minor tweaking and finding a slot in the release schedule. I don't know what (if any models) are being released with it - I would imagine endless spells and maybe a scenery piece (spawning pool perhaps) at a minimum.
I imagine the Beasts of Chaos release is the template we can expect for all redone battletomes. Consolidated force, a scenery piece, endless spells and perhaps a new SC box.

Fairly sure that statement was just to tie In with the implications of Brexit, or expected impacts of it.
Oh i thought they never expanded on their initial "profits will be lower than forecast" statement? I initially assumed it must be Brexit but when they didn't elaborate i thought it might be some major product they wouldn't get to market in time.

We are really short on real rumours lately. What happened? Our informers threw a hissy fit?
Did anyone explain the profit warning GW issued a week or two ago? I imagined it was because a big product launch wasn't going to happen this quarter as they previously planned so the profits would be lower?

Hey @Ben are the subscriptions reflected in the hosting cost widget on the home page?

Gonna be honest here, I think this model sucks. Skull Acne is back and worse than ever, the back legs are entirely static, and the rider looks like a badly converted Slaughterpriest who was dipped in hot glue.
Add to that the sheer nothingness of his Lore (much power, many skulls) and ridiculously OP rules (12 attacks on the rider alone and a-3 to cast???) and you‘ve got a model that I hope I never have the displeasure of seeing or facing.
I think in a narrative game (a massive order force VS this dragon) would be great. In matched play- just avoid it or chuck chaff. It has the same issues any super-powerful model does (loads of points in 1 location) in matched play. This vs 1,200pts of any chaff unit- this loses everytime by being bogged down.

That dragon is so over the top rules wise. Needs nerfing harder than the mournghoul ever di! Although at 1.2k maybe not? Just seems ridiculous.
I think it's clearly not meant to be played in regular matched play. I mean we now measure base to base as standard in 2.0 and it has no base. FW are probably just starting on some huge models for AoS, like they have titans for 40k. No one plays (or can, points-wide) titans in competitive play.

btw does anyone has some experiemce with GUO with bilesword. I know most players love to bring GUO with the bell, but i was wondering if peeps have, hopefully, positive experience with the GUO with sword they woukd like to shair.
Grtz
I have magnetised my GUO but never switch from the bell+blade- the issue with the bilesword is it's not playing to the GUO's strengths at all. It's the only weapon in the whole force (pretty much, excluding things like Glottkin) which has rend and serious damage, but it's crazy to spend 320pts on a GUO you send right into combat. The GUO is great behind a line of battleline troops casting spells and using it's abilities to support.
It's not good in combat. Consider- 3 attacks, 4+, 3+. So you average 1.5 hits and then 1 wound. Which only gives 3 damage total. Compare to an actual big combat beast model, which can dish out 10-20 damage in one round of combat, it's really obvious it's totally not worth it. 3 damage can be done by 10 plaguebearers easily, it's not worth wasting the GUO on a weak combat role instead of one of the best supporting roles in the game.

I offered him the minor win as he wiped the marauders and I killed some dogs. He wanted the major. If he won priority he had the chance to kill glottkin and take both. I rolled a 6 for priority, killed vordrai and secured the minor win.
Important lesson that victory is possible in the most unlikely circumstances! So many times it's Turn 3 and I think there's no chance, but I turn it around T5.
Nice writeup, thanks!

Am I being stupid or did you guys jump from Episode 4 straight to Episode 6? I really hope it was a genuine mistake as I know you two will laugh your asses off about failing basic math before you even got into double digits xD.
Dude you missed ep5 about Beastclaw Raiders- one of the funniest so far! It shows up for me on Overcast?

Something like 2x6 drones for a double dronebomb to remove all 40 skeletons in one round of combat would work?
