A true "spur of the moment" list, I thought of this, wrote it in about 2 minutes, and was surprised by how viable it looked, and thought I'd put it up:

Great Unclean One, Cloud of flies 165

8 Bloodcrushers, Fury, Instrument 335

Waves usually go:

1. 3 Crushers, 3 princes

2. 2x GUO, 3x PB

Wrong wave turns up, you suck it up until you get your crushers in and start doing stuff.

Princes pavane stuff closer, and maybe charge small units if needed.

It might seem crap, but with 67 t5 wounds, and 10 t6 FnP wounds... its a bitch to kill off. It's pretty KP light too, and it doesnt give them up easily.

Possibilities are squeezing in icons on the GUO's, so the crushers can DS aggressively if you get the wrong wave.

Thoughts?

Looks like a fun and different list. Find a way to put ironhide on those princes. It is true they are fat but with only a 5+ save it takes way from that fatness. I know the 8 crushers are great novelty, but maybe drop some and one of the GUO and get a Bloodthirster. He could be considered fat and will help solve some of the army's trouble with mobility.

Thoughts?
One one hand you have very little in the way of speed, that is going to hurt in some situations.
On the other hand the two big units of Crushers have a huge footprint and can be used to box in the opponent to minimise the benefit he has from speed.

Food for thought: the three Princes can be replaced by 3x8 Flesh Hounds. That would give you fast threats vs. transports, a way to lock opposing units untill the Crushers arrive, a coversave for your Crushers and more tactical flexibility overall.
I can see the charm in the three Princes however...

Cool list, let us know how you do with it!

Taking Iron hide for the princes makes them really expensive, but its a possibility. I took pavane princes to help migitate the crushers/GUO's crappy speed, and the crushers' lack of grenades.

Thirsters need to be taken in pairs, and wont really fit in here IMO due to the fact that they go down way too easy to missile launchers, which everyone packs these days. You only need ~15 kraks to kill a thirster, while it takes 36 to kill a GUO. If I took thirsters I would take them with fiends and dogs so the whole army is fast. Which is another possibility:

Thirster, Blessing 255

6x Fiends, Unholy Might 190

10x Dogs 150

= 1750

Dont see that working though, due to waves being crappy and not having much oomph or staying power on their own.

I like the idea of a Nurgle list.. I always liked tNurgle the best of all the chaos forces..
