Nurgle loves termies


But that`s just evil.

Unless you have a serious case of bad luck you shouldn`t lose more that 20 models in a match

[Dragoon King]

Holy cow, I love it. Only minor drawback might be slowish movement. Staying power makes up for it though.

[AUTOLOCHUS]

NOOOOO! Thats blasphemy! remove that list from my sight at once!!!! lol...j/k

I think you might slaughter some sorry individuals with your nurglings. Frankly....you disgust me :P

[SteveBerenyi]

why thank you josh, something tells me that you just dont want to see your precious space puppies infected

[AUTOLOCHUS]

Yeah....your army's infected with the clap ................lmao

[SteveBerenyi]

lol and while i hate to ponder what it was that that khorn/Russ' puppies army you faced me with was infected with. LMAO

[Dragoon King]

You could drop the Raptors and replace with a Land Raider with Daemonic Possession, to mount Typhus or Chaos Lord in. 70 or so points left over to add more termies!

[SteveBerenyi]

actually i am maxed out on termies.

[Wakim]

Yeah but those raptors are his only form of mobility

True, but the LR is relatively mobile, and would offer protection for his most valuable units. Just an option, both are good choices. I know I'd be jittery if a LR with the Herald of Nurgle was bearing down on me!

[Imperial Commander Gent]

Your points are off on your Rot Bearers unit of termies. You have them at 490, they are actually 530 points man, you didnt count the icon of nurgle there.

[Drax]

just wondering steve if Nurgle bikers may be a naster additon than the raptors. T4(6) could be a real shock unit.

also, i think 20 Terminator champs is a bit overkill - they will die just the same as the ordinary terminators, and with your weapon setup taking away the champion status on all models, your first unit is still going to get 30 attacks whilst the second is going to have a massive 38 attacks, 32 of which get wound re-rolls. if they don't kill their target - they are picking the wrong target!

also, whilst your list will excel against infantry lists, you may fare poorly against armour. at range, the most you can acheive is a glancing hit against AV13, and in combat you have nothing to even reach that.

i would consider a few power fists and perhaps a lascannon/missile launcher or two

[Lord Commander Erus]

I'd say the bikers would be a better choice, much more mobile and the Tougness as well as the turbo-boost will make them draw fire. Plus you can set them up the same. I'd also give the plague marine squads (at least one, i'd go for two) meltas.

Consider stripping the termies of champion status, and seeing how many points that leaves you with... If you can, fit in a havoc squad in a rhino w/ 4 meltas and a power fist! Just nasty there!

And D_K, I hate to say it, but in such a list as Steve has, the land raider wouldn't be of much aid. At such a high toughness as his base troop is, getting shot and wounded will be hellaciously hard, and he STILL has the 3+ save to fall back on in most cases! More bodies and options (weaponry wise) is the way to go.

I do agree through... Bikers and anti tanker.. I love raptors, but they just don't seem to fit papa nurgle.

much better now steve - one last thing i would add though is that if you can squeeze in the points for it, Daemonic Possession on vehicles is a much better option.

on rhinos your Twin Linked weapons won't be affected too much by the BS drop as they can re-roll misses, and with the Destructer, whilst that isn't the case, at least you can keep firing in subsequent turns on stunned/shaken

[AUTOLOCHUS]

Can you guys PLEASE stop helping steve!!!!! I'm the sorry sod that has to play him!!...HAHA j/k steve.....you need all the help you can get...cuz next time I will crush you to a PULP!! :P

[Lord Commander Erus]

I would still drop the second lord. You could do a lot with those pts., and he's only one terminator body, how much can he really do?

Sure that extra weapon is nice... But... Is it really worth it? You know he's just gonna draw fire to him or any other squad he is with.

[Wakim]

Funny thing though, the lords costs as much as 2 tooled up preds

But then again, he is a chaos termie lord and can get lucky :P

Honestly i`d concentrate on the things that will do the most damage and tie up the lord with sacrificial stuff.

As you well said, it`s just one mini.

Those termies are really mean if they get withing range they`ll do a TON of damage

The pred, depending on the way the armies are layed out, can take out more than it`s share in points. Ofcourse it also depends on the enemy.

So yeah, the lord will me a fear factor and we all know fear dumbs people down.

If the oponent concentrates all weapons on the lord (and most oponents would, let`s face it) than steve will lose close to no models in that round.

I say it`s an advantage.

Ofc he can get unlucky, but that`s the way the game works.

[AUTOLOCHUS]

I would say steve has no shortage of luck

[SteveBerenyi]

why would you say that?

seems last time we played i rolled an abnormal ammount of 1's

[AUTOLOCHUS]

cuz you always win! why else!!......though im no pushover like some of those other guys......lol

[Dragoon King]

I like the new list even better. The Havocs give ya some anti-armour punch. Nasty!

[Lord Commander Erus]

I would drop the combi-melta for a power fist. You get a more steady, constant source of anti-armor there.
