his list consists of (i think)

Demon Prince

Typhus

6 terms

2 Obliterators

3? units of 7 death gaurd (maybe 4 units)

i think thats it.

what should i do?

what should i look out for?

what qsycic powers should i roll in? (i have 5)

any advice?

no.help what so ever?

Not ocnvinced with the chainfists for the list your facing, in my knowledge they are only really useful against vehicles???

ok other than that anything ekse?

I'm not sure what nurgle marines do these days, It's been a long time since I faced them. The one thing I do remember is the high toughness. You might want to field some sternguard, with the wound on a 2+ ammo. Pairing a squad of them with a GoI librarian would help you stay in rapid fire range the whole game. If he's not fielding tanks, a HB instead of a ML on your scouts would be better. Plus it gets the special poison burst.

Sternguard would help against there higher toughness.

Dont fear the daemon prince too much as its only a JUMP Monstrous Creature, not a Flying.

I think teleport homers only work for DS with termies, not for GOI

i dont have any sterngaurd... and goi? whats that?

GoI uses the deep strike rules, thus a teleport homer works for them as well.

would adding another unit of tactical work better?

what wouldbi drop?

and...say i had 25£ to spend on this army... what would you sugest? ;-)

well i got my absolute dick handed to me...

i deepstruck the two terms in successfully but my rolls throught were poor.

the dready did litterally NOTHING.

i should have in theory stood back a little longer and gak...

but his p.marines were coning in fast...

his winged prince did the best work on me really. killed the dreaddy then went to work on my terms and term lib.

tig did well but he basicly case psycic shriek and killed 5 terms with one sucessfull deny the witch...

otherwise he was pretty useless...

i considered dropping him fir another term lib.

and the dready and shaving some oher points for mire tactucal... however...

can tactical squads take locator beacons?

How did you split your rolls up for Tigurius? 1 on Telepathy and 2 others rolls somewhere else?

CSMs hate Telepathy being used on them. Not just Shriek.

Hey as a deathguard player, our greatest weakness is our slow initiative...besides that they are really stout. Plague marines w/feel no pain are tough to take down and T5 makes em a little harder to hit. Obliterators just ruin everyone's days and should be target priority one. Deamons w/MoN are also tough, but they go down easy enough.

i didnt split my rolls i wanted to try the powers out.

he got.
terrify.
shriek
and puppet master.

the other used bio and got iron arma nd smite


it didnt seem like such a great weakness to.me.lol...

and just relises he used his dp as flying not jump.
