I like the soul grinders...they offer a lot of support. I fear the drones will take a lot of fire since they are your only fast threat. Im guessing guo and bearers drop down off drone icon and start to tie units up. Other than a guo smashing i dont see any answer for dealing with heavy armor. Grinders can glance av14 on 6s...but so can your plague bearers...

I feel like it needs another fast moving threat...some beasts...more drones...or a nurgle dp in exchange for one grinder. But i say it looks good. Ive had success with the drones and grinders.

Ive been doing this at 1500

I have done well but im really just trying to playtest all that nurgle offers atm...and seeing what happens.

I feel like the dp although not very upgraded is really strong and is capable of getting anywhere fast and causing a lot of damage and keeping the attention away from my drones

Thank you Padr3hidalg0, you are right. This list needs some speed. What do you think of this adjusted list?
