Need alot of C&C on this list, need a 2,000 point army for a tournament in a while (a few months away yet)
wanted daemons and decided to go with a single god list (i know, not allways a good idea)
but i figured if it was either nurgle or khorne only then it should cope, since khorne is over rated and way too common i decided to go with nurgle (also fun and quick to paint)

should have a solid core of troops, epidemius was a must since his tally should be helping out alot.
the 3 grinders are needed as anti-tank since there is little else in the list that can do it.

tempted to try and get rid of the nurglings (my small tarpits against huge units of boyz) and replace them with more plagues (and possibly a 4th herald)

epi and the heralds ride in the plague units, hopefully breath should help out even more.
nox touch was taken since wounding on 2+ is allways nice.

The beasts were a must.
Strong and nearly impossible to kill.
they may be slow, but they should be stable enough to cause some decent damage, especially when the tally gets going.


Also, wasnt too syre since im yet to use a pure nurgle army, but how many plagues is it best to take? got 37 in this list, if its less then i can allways free up points for other things.

You are better off with a GUO instead of Nurgle Heralds. They dont kill enough.

I was thinking about it, but by the time i have kitted out a GUO to do a half decent job then his cost is almost the same as the heralds.
Also, plagues are pretty poor at killing in combat, the heralds should be able to boost them a bit and with the breath they can get rid of any annoying units.

Drop the Nurglings
Add more Plaguebearers.

I agree extremn on the Heralds/greater daemon issue.
