Howdy hi Dakka,

Long time reader, first time poster, so please buy me dinner and take it slow and gentle.

 

Looking for feedback on my 1500 point “Take All Comers” Papa Nurgle list.

 

Cheers in advance –

 

 

Primary – CSM

Warlord – Chaos Lord with MoN, VotLW, Sigil of Corruption, Blight Grenades, Plasma Pistol & Power Sword – 145 Points

HQ – Daemon Prince of Nurgle with Wings, Power Armour, CCW and Mastery Level 1 (Discipline of Nurgle) – 245 Points

Troop – Plague Champion with Power Axe & Melta Bombs. 4 x Plague Marines. VotLW. Chaos Rhino – 180 Points

Troop – Plague Champion with Power Axe & Melta Bombs. 4 x Plague Marines. VotLW. Chaos Rhino – 180 Points

Fast Attack – Heldrake with Baleflamer – 170 Points

Heavy Support – Forgefiend with Hades Autocannon – 175 Points

 

Allied – Chaos Daemons

HQ – Daemon Prince of Nurgle with Daemonic Flight, Warp-forged Armour, 1 Greater Reward (Balesword) and Mastery Level 3 (Biomancy and Plague tables) – 315 Points

Troop – 10 x Plaguebearers – 90 Points

 

Totals at a plump and spherically round 1500 Points

 

I also have access to more Father Nurgle goodness if people fancy tweaking the list:-

·         Warpsmith with Power Axe
·         Another Daemon Prince of Nurgle (Magnetised wings)
·         Helbrute with Multi-Melta and Power Fist
·         Plague Champion with Power Fist
·         5 x Plague Marines
·         2 x Plague Marines with Plasma Guns
·         1 x Chaos Rhino
·         1 x Chaos Predator with TL Lascannon (can add side sponson Heavy Bolters)
·         1 x Chaos Vindicator
·         3 x Obliterators with MoN
·         1 x Herald of Nurgle
·         10 x Plaguebearers

Local Meta is very WYSIWYG hence the weird Chaos Lord load out and the MoN on the Oblits (green stuffed FTW) and only 2 PMs with Plasma Guns. Don’t proxy, just WYSIWYG

Meta is also very Spess Marheen heavy, hence the VotLW.

 

Any thoughts? Dreams? Desires? Hopes?

cut the plasma pistol off and replace with bolt pistol. thats 15pts. find another 5pts and remove the mastery level from the chaos deamon prince and give him the black mace instead.

id def get some plasma on the PM instead of the power axes on the champs. they already have poison.

i feel you have way to many points in HQ but thats just me. you will struggle with objectives.

Hey ,
 
Thanks for the response,
I agree with what you’ve said, especially the Power Axe.
I’ve done a slight reworking (Warlord has remained the same though :/)

I agree you need a bit more scoring. Plague marines work well in squads of 7(perhaps nurgle's blessing, but it is the best number) with 2 special weapons of your choice.

Drop the plasma pistol and blight grenades from your lord. Since he will be with a plague marine squad,he can benefit from their blight grenades just fine. I also agree about tossing the axes from the champs. Plague knives are the bees knees when it comes to melee combat. Just model/paint them to look filthy and infected and say they are plague axes. Helps your champ stand out, but you don't have to pay for the axe.

I agree about dropping the mastery level from the prince. Although nurgle is a good discipline, it is rather expensive and you would really want ML2 or 3 so you could juice biomancy. Do take a gift of mutation on the prince and champ, although sometimes it won't make a bit of difference, it has potential to swing a game.

Consider swapping in 2 oblits for the forgefiend. Saves a few points, and gives you a bit more versatility.

Edit: Like your second list. You could still drop the blight grenades and plasma pistol for gifts, but not as needed. Sad to see the Allied DP without psychic powers, but so it goes.

The most important rule of 40K-Page XVII of the 6th edition rulebook, the figure at the top right of the page. "Shake hands with your opponent and thank them for a good battle and fun experience." Then go out for a beer.

Thank you Doctor
Yeah I really wanted to get some biomancy in there but I hop he'll do just as well as a flying beat stick
1750 version of this list will be more of the same but more troops, more psychic tables and more rewards


Automatically Appended Next Post:
With these models no, I spent so long painting the swords I refuse to not use them, stupid I know :/.
But, I have a 4th DP in bits, time for a paint and some green stuff for this Mace me thinks

Is there any way of getting the black mace on the DP? It's awesome and is fantastic at shredding infantry. Useful when you have a lack of scoring units and need to obliterate the enemies.

You sought to cower behind your walls, weakling? Instead, by the will of Khorne, you shall die behind them

what he said take your new list. drop plasma pistol and burning brand and add black mace! perfect!

i understand you love your models but if you have to play wysiwyg then chop the plasma pistol off. you'll never use the darn thing most likely. add a bolt pistol.

Well id take oblits over the forge fiend. Probably wont fit at the moment but nurgle spawn are very good. The list looks sound to me.. I wouldn't bother with the brand, you can kill marines without it well enough. Filling out those plague marines would be better use of points.
