If I'm reading the rules right... The might of Father Nurgle should be fun with this list

****Total - 2,000****

Not sure how competitive it will really be, but with Epidemus giving the buffs he does upon kills, and having three T6 flying Daemon Princes running around backed up by the loads of FnP (Potentially enhanced) plasmaguns? Looks like it could be a fun army to run.

~Modified the list a bit to cover some of the weaknesses at ranged combat, and make the terminator squad more fluff oriented.~

Especially once you get 20 kills and all your bolter shots ignore armor saves

Ignore armour, 3+ FnP, auto wound on a 2+ in close combat... it's going to be fun

Look good, Nurgle CSM are pretty nasty now....

I am a stickler for fluff, I would lkie to see 7 Plague marines in each squad with 7 in the Terms as well. You have 14 Demons which is good.

But this list is crazy sick especially with Epidemus.

That seems like fun! Make sure to report back how they did, inquiring minds wanna know!

Looks tasty, I was comteplating the epidemius/PM combo and this is very interesting indeed. I would be tempted instead to drop warptime and go for doombolt, then sub this out for one of the deck psychic powers. I reckon pretty much any of the pyromancy powers, or any of the primaris powers from each discipline would compliment the list well. The remaining 30 points could buy another terminator.

I am inclined to agree with you on this one! I'm just not sure what to remove to gain the extra points to "fluff" the squads.

I'll try to get some games in on either Thursday or Saturday and let y'all know

Looks good.....

Ahh.. Nurgle.

He be lovin' his armies.

I might suggest one thing is maybe work in a fortification with a quad cannon to have one thing with anit flyer capabilities

Loving this list. Let us know how this works out.

Makes me want to puke! which, for a nurgle army I think, is a good thing!

Nurgle is back. Go for it!

I think you have too many HQs in your primary detachment. You need to shift around the PMs to get seven man squads, and then this thing is good to go.

I think the other demon prince is legal due to the 2000pt second detatchment ruling conferred in 6th ed.

Chaos Army got postponed due to the fact that I needed to finish up some models for them. The games will hopefully take place this upcoming week.

Good news is, I found out one of the people I will be playing is bringing foot guard... One squad dead, and epidemus is going to have full buffs!

Just remember that your demon princes in the marine force are not flying, but jump monstrous creatures

Maybe take an Allied Winged DP?

Sadly, yes I remember.

Check my heavy support, I already did

Do you have enough ranged weapons for anti tank work. I realize that vehicles got a nerf in this addition, but wouldnt discount the value of the Havok squad with 4 Autocannons.
Do you have access to any other HW.

i dont get how you can take 4 hq models? 3 from the csm hq list. 1 from chaos deamons.

This is a 2k list so he can have 4 regular HQs.

At the moment no I don't. I used to use defilers in my heavy support slots when I used my chaos, so no havocs just sitting around. As for vehicle weapons, I do have the Daemon Prince ally who can vector strike, I have the plasma guns once I get into range. But yeah, against a long ranged army, I could have a hard time. I'm thinking that night fighting on the new deployments might help mitigate that a small amount though.

With 6th edition, you can take a "second army" at 2000 points. This basically doubles your foc in all aspects (So mandatory 2hqs, 4 troops). This is how I have 3 standard HQs and one ally HQ.

I recommend looking to see if there is a way to fit 105 points of Aegis Defense Line in there. With a lascannon for skyfire, and the comms relay, you are almost guaranteed to get all your daemons in by turn 2 along with terminators if you decide to deepstrike them. If you take a daemon prince as heavy support, you are splitting the army into 2 groups (one with plaguebearers and epid, and one with daemon) and it's possible epid might not be in first turn. You have to bring him in ASAP to get the benefit to his tally, and aegis helps guarantee this.

I was considering something along these lines earlier actually! Dropping one, or maybe both HQ princes for a the Aegis and fill out the plague squads to some more fluffy numbers. I'll fiddle with the numbers and see if I can't squeeze it in.

But hang on dont you have to fill out your whole primary detachment before you move on to a second foc, regardless of it being 2000 pts.

Looks like fun. I'm a Nurgle player from way back. if anyone tries something along the lines of the this build, let us know how it went.

"Nurgle loves me, this I know! 'Cause my rotting tells me so!"

Alright, just updated the list to reflect some of the comments. What do you guys think?

- Dropped both the HQ princes, and the rhinos for the plague marines. I changed up the terminator squad to have 7 members instead of 5, and switched the heavy flamer for a reaper autocannon to give some ranged support fire. With the other points I had left, I added two squads of havocs with 4 autocannons each (Marked with nurgle of course to add to the tally for Epidemus).
