10 Nurgling Bases

what do you think i should do/approach it? cheers

I do not know where you are getting your killing power from. Can you take Seekers or blood crushers? I think you are going to want to use the plague bearers to kill the oblits and DP. let Kugath shoot at the termi blob and you should be okay. Just remember that Epidemius buffs plague marines and stuff with MoN too, so watch out.

I think the FAQed that an TOP doesnt effect none daemons...could be wrong though :3

I agree - I don't see the killy here. IIRC, the plaguebearers have poison weapons but not power weapons. That FNP after 3+, 2+ armor means the opponent's list is incredibly resilient. The daemons have invul saves but they are only 4+. That seems a very lopsided encounter. Other than big changes in the list, I can offer no solutions.

The only chance is if kugoth manages to stay alive the whole game.

He should really have a soul grinder or two instead of the beasts, so that he can rack up kills. That said, by the time he gets enough kills for the nurgle weapons to ignore armor saves, he has won already.

yea this guy will have 32 models no more tha 40 wounds. but theres no chance of a soul grinder atm, or any other unit so what will you suggest otherwise?

also i dont have crusherers or seekers, its a NURGLE theme. no othwer gods lol

btw, feel no pain means its, 3+ then 4+ i have 4+ then 4+...not a major difference seen as i out number about 2 to 1...

Honestly the chaos codex doesn't provide much more for you as a nurgle player. Your only real other option is to add a demon prince or two instead of the beasts, and you can always lessen your nurgling count since kugoth can create them.

Nurglings are amazing, but you only need like 5-6 bases
The Hound things are terrible, now thin out your troops and drop the hounds to fit 2X Daemon Prince MoN & stuff

Yea the soul grinders wont count for the Tally as they're not nurgle

Trying to keep with your nurgle theme and epidemius combo.

Drop the beasts of nurgle. replace with with 10 more plague bearers spread out into your squads to 13 each. Then split your nurgllings into 2 smaller squads.

Epidemius counts all nurgle kills, so the extra models will translate into more points toward ignoring armor (which still benefits you more since you can take invlun saves anyway and FNP for a good amount of his shooting)

Use those small squads of nurglings to pit those termies and/or oblits to keep Kurgath alive as long as possible and rip up those 7 man squads of his Plague Marines. That should get you to the magic number 20 early enough to make a difference.

wait so, will any kills my opponent makes with his MON CSM count towards helping me on my tally? ok so use the nurglings as a tar pit basically, use kugarthe to F up his DP? deal with typhus and terms later?

Yes sir, All nurgle models or models with MoN count towards that number.

Use Kurgath to rip up those marines with that AP2 blast to ignore their armor and FNP. Anything save for those oblits will count toward your number.

You could kill the oblits early too, the nurglings would be better off pitting the DP and the termies, as their deaths will boost your count too. You just don't want to deal with those oblits blowing Kurgath away too early

So use nurglings to tie up DP and terms with typhus. take out oblits with beasts and use my PB to remove his PM whilst im using kugarth when an opportunity arises, and sending more and more nurglings into the DP and terms?
