Chaos vs Tau

I am going into my local gaming store tomorrow to play a few games of 40k with the store manager whom has just started playing 40k.

He plays a Troop heavy Tau army. (about 50/50 FW to Kroot)

The first game I will be using this list. The list is more of a fun and fluffy list that he might have a chance against.

Fabius Bile

Lord Mok
Juggernaut, Daemon weapon, combi-flamer, melta-bomb, Mok

Troops
Enhanced CSM x20
2 melts, champ PF combi-flamer, melta-bomb, IoK

Enhanced CSM x20
2 melts, champ PF combi-flamer, melta-bomb, IoK

Enhanced CSM x20

Yes this is not a very sound list but will be fun to try with a friend that is new to the game.

Now the fun part I was asked by the assistant manager to play the first game with the goofy list shown above and he wanted me to play the second game with a list that will make the store manager cry.

I have two lists one is my Nurgle daemon list that should do fine and another CSM list that might be fun to play.

Daemon list:

Tell me what you guys think, I most likely will not be changing these lists seeing that everything is WYSIWYG and painted and ready to go for tomorrow. But I am always interested to see what people think and if my list will do the jobs that I am hoping them to do.

List one’s goal is to be a close game and I am ok if I lose that one.

For game two using list 2 or 3 I am looking to have a very one-sided game in my favor.


Thanks guys

If you go with the all Nurgle list, it will be interesting to hear how it turns out. My fear is that since the Nurglings can't claim objectives, you'd be stuck in a game where the best each side can do is prevent their opponent from taking any objectives.
