Don't get me wrong, I've done it too.

I also find it funny when (non-Tau) opponents spend so many units trying to kill 45pt Nurgling units because they "can't hurt the DPs"
If they don't have ignores cover, than my Nurglings are sitting happy with a 2+ cover, and a few of them will have FNP as well since that is the Locus I put on my Herald.
With so many points invested in the Tetrad, you really need a ground force that can survive til the end of the game.
Nurgling spam or Horror spam are the best choices for this

I find single Spawn are generally great units for the tactic of charging first and eating overwatch attacks during to their movement speed, ignoring difficult terrain, and fleet for charging with.

I've been considering making a tetrad due to the fun of painting 4 different allegiances, but I do think you'd want a tallyband + furies to complete the decurion and give you bodies to actually play objectives

What do you guys think of Warpflame host + Heralds Anarchic + Tetrad?

Cheapest Warpflame host is something like:
9x Exalted Flamers + disk herald (520pts)
3x disk herald (with grimore, paradox)
Then your Tetrad...
-Nurgle: Balesword, wings
-Khorne: LR (ax of Khorne), wings, armour of scorn and 1 GR
-Slaanesh: GR (lash), ML2 and wings
-Tzeentch: LR (staff), wings, robe and ML3

-13 to 18 WC w/o summoning other units...

Can get it down to 1850 pts...

Thoughts?

Well... Imma going to take the above list to a game tomorrow... if it goes well, I'll batrep it!
