This is my list for an upcoming 2v2 tourney. My partner will be playing CSM with the normal FoC. The requirements are 1 HQ, 1 Troop, and 3 or less of the other choices per player.

______________________________________________________________

HQ: Keeper of Secrets +Unholy Might = 215pts

E1: Blood Crushers x3 +Icon +Fury +Instrument = 160pts
E2: Blood Crushers x3 +Fury +Instrument = 135pts
E3: Flamers x3 = 105 pts

T1: Plague Bearers x7 = 105
T2: Nurgling x9 = 117pts

H: Soul Grinder +Phlegm = 160pts

Total: 997 points

The only change I made was switching the icon from the plague bearers to the Blood Crusher. I have 6 crushers with one already holding a standard.

The plan is to use the Nurglings to tar pit and control movement for the harder hitting Blood Crushers. Plague Bearers are there to camp objectives and what not.

I decided on the Soul Grinder over a DP for a little better ranged crowd control and the 2x DCCW and 13ac walker is pretty nice when trapping melee units with less than 7 str. It's also pretty decent if you have to face a monolith (rather than ignore it).


Any suggestions? Thanks

Fiends are better than bloodcrushers. They are cheaper, and if you are looking to tarpit, Fiends have hit and run, so they can charge again and again. They also have rending and 2 additional attacks over Crushers each.

I do like fiends am I'm thinking of switching a group of crushers to them. One thing I like about crushers is the wound allocation and the 3+ IH save. Something for me to consider

Fiends have Wound allocation too if you give one Unholy Might. But without Iron Hide, they are indeed much more of a glass cannon than Crushers.
