Well hey there all. Getting into my daemons now, so I decided to write up the list I have put together, to get it looked over, and why I picked what I did. Here goes.

HQ
Epidemius (Tally tally tally, my gosh I love my tally)
Great Unclean one with flies, breath, and aura of decay. (Kugath costs too much, for a super-tough suicide attacker, which Is what I use this guy as.)

Troops
10 Plaguebearers with instrument (Instrument actually works really well with these guy's, who often draw with standard infantry)
10 Plaguebearers with instrument (Dejavu)
9 Nurgling bases (Basically joined with Epidemius, to give him an extra wound per 4 points spent )
9 more Nurgling bases (For wave 2, when the tally is high, these things kill -anything- that isn't a vehicle, heavy hitters sent in first to crack open vehicles, then nurglings to gobble up the peeps inside ;D )
9 More MORE nurgling bases (These things are so damn cheap, that it's just worth taking this many, even if epidemius dies.)

Elites:
6 Flamers of Tzeentch (Painted up as "Bile-spewers", these are literally just for cracking open vehicles my standard units can't, or softening up really scary infantry)
4 Beasts of Nurgle (Yes, I know people say they suck, but honestly, these things actually lawnmower most anything, and when the tally is up, my good god. xD)
4 Beasts of Nurgle

Heavy support
1 Nurgle Daemon prince, breath, aura of decay, flies. (These things die -way- too fast for my liking, so I have taken only one, to try and rush me some tally turn 1 with my unclean one.




So, I use them like this.

(Hopefully) First wave

Epidemius with nurgling bodyguards (To hide away somewhere)
Great unclean one (Wreak big things early)
Daemon prince (Same as avove)
4 Beasts of Nurgle
6 Flamers of Tzeentch

Wave 2
10 Plaguebearers
10 Plaguebearers
4 beasts
9 Nurgling bases
9 Nurgling bases


Deepstriking, monsters, swarms, and a plaguetally. Lovely.

Not as much "Huge and scary" as most daemons list, but it can really chew up some armies. Only weakness I have found, is that I really cannot hurt flyer's in the air, at all. But, hey, Nurgle unit's can just grin and bear it, get into assault to stop being shot at.

And who need's fast attack units, when you can deepstrike and spread across the whole area

Ally up with orks, take a landing pad and take a mob of grots, you'll be upto max power in no time

Of course no one will want to be your friend anymore

True, I've actually got to the point where I am now under powering my army due to my friends complaints about how nasty that tactic is.

Evil eyes, you didn't actually say how many points this is supposed to be (unless I am mistaken)

Between 1500 and 1750, depending on how many Nurgle beasts I run.

I like it. Nurgle finally is getting his day in the sun with Daemons.

But, now im thinking. The only unit I have yet to order is the flamers. But, which is better now, screamers,or flamers? Both can kill vehicles, but which is better for the points?

For the points, flamers are better than screamers. The one advantage screamers have is that they can take out side armor 10 flyers.

Flamers definatley.

I ran a 1k list and a 1.5k list last night against DE. Tabled him both times cept for his razorwing.

The flamers were in squads of 7x that DS with a Tz herald. I ran 2 squads of 7x with a herald and a second with 7x and scribes. When I DS, the flamers scorched his hellions and then the second squad bolted the raider with the first herald shot, then the flamers burned the new opened incubii in a can.

When he did get to shoot, I was just passing off wounds left and right. Even his razor wing was USELESS against the spam. We then did a 1.5k game and I brought fateweaver. It was a turn 1 win. Warlord, troops and all. He was tabled.

You see soulgrinder, I've been telling you that larger flamer units were king now.

yeah, yeah, yeah =P


They do wreck face.

They're ridiculously good.

Only thing I dislike about these lists is near total lack of AA.

Thankfully, with nurgle, you don't -need- to kill aircraft. You have no vehicles to be blown up, and most of your unit's should be in CC, meaning they can't be shot anyway. Even if they are, nurgle is tough enough to take it

Damn straight, if need take a "Nurgle" defense line. Personally ive always wanted to run this list.... just need the models for the fast and heavies

Kugath -330
Epid - 110

10x plagues - Icon - 175
10x plagues - 150
10x plagues - 150
10x plagues - 150
10x plagues - 150

Blight Drone -125
Blight Drone -125
Blight Drone -125

Plaguehulk -205
Plaguehulk -205

TOTAL: 2000

Not very versatile but effective for the tally.
