Once again, congrats.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got beat down by Epidemius and company.
I second the request for battle reports.

The bonuses usually are secondary in the list. Survivablity is the punch that wins games with this list. I have faced alot of very different lists with this army including Tunder hammer terminators. Just pop the land raiders and stay away from them. If they dont have alot of soft kills then they dont have alot of ways to hold objectives and thats win win for me.

BTW nurglings will keep TH termies busy for a good 3 assualt phases.

REVISED

1 Epidemus

19 Plauge Bearers *mark

6 Nurglings

6 Nurglings

2 Soulgrinders *phlegm *tongue

1 GUO - breath, AoD, flies

This will allow me to drop 5/4 primary. All the nurgling squads in reserve +1 PB squad. I have been using a 9 unit set up with epi so 8 units when it comes to Deep striking. It will hurt when I dont get my primary but atleast the units in reserve are survivably enough to wait for them to get there.

GUO is too slow to effectively use breath, if he uses it, you don't usually get to charge, and you want him in HtH. AoD I've just found bad. I like GUOs at 165 with flies.

Nice list, are you going to convert the Soulgrinders to look more nurgly?

The GUOs breat actually gets used alot, you just have to learn how to position him so he actually does get to use it. AoD works GREAT against eldar, orks, nyds, and tau. MEQs not so much. Guess it just depends on your area.

I wont be changing the contents of the list very much as I did win a 4 round tournament with it this past weekend. I just wanted to split up the nurglings to get a more fearsom primary wave.

One of my SGs does look nurgly, the other looks Tzeenchy.

I am planning on doing 3 of the 4 gods. I dont like slanessh.

Not a very constructive comment, but I love it. Totally stealing this.

What armies give you the most challenge? I imagine mech eldar could possibly make for a long game. I like the list because of the theme.

First of all, i love Papa Nurgle, and it's awesome you've actually succeeded where I have not lol

Why don't you run DPs instead of the SGs?
They count for tally, as SGs do not. Which gets your tally going SO much faster
Not slow and purposful
They are decent anti tank, especially with unholy strength
Can get shot up and live through more than one stray lascannon
Can really help with hordes with AoD

Also, you can give them armor, strength, nurgle mark, and AoD for about the same price

The one upside i can see to running SGs instead is that they get Fleet

In all the times I have played mono Nurgle with SGs, they are the first to go bye-bye on turn one from one shot

Yes Mech eldar is a pain in the butt. In the ard boys I played my last round against mech eldar and pulled a minor win that cost me 1st place and bumped me down to 2nd.

DPs only have a 3+ normal save that is expensive to buy. I have found that my 13 armor SGs actually take a whole lot more firepower to bring down (on average). You are right though that sometimes one lucky shot will pop them, thats why I bring 2 =). DPs also have no ranged way of bringing down armor. Fast vehicals will just run away.

The tally runs up plenty fast with one guo. The important kill count is 10. Everything takes care of itself once you get noxious touch on the nurglings.
