Heya guys. Playing my first ever tourney soon. It's a 2 dayer and plays a game of every standard rulebook mission and deployment at least once.

I'm going to be playing mono nurgle marines and want to also have orks as allies. (nob biker deathstar?).

It's 1500 points heres what I want to include:

2 biker deathstar units: I have a lord with Mon on bike with PF and LC. and a unit of nob bikerz with an ork warlord on bike (some klawz and a pinboy)

1 Hellturkey. no more than 1.

and plague marines.

Other than that what do you think will compliment these units in a tourney setting?

Rhinos for the plague marines to get them up the field, disembarking the turn the bikes assault and assaulting the following turn.
Orks in a trukk or spawn or maulerfiends (nice and cheap) would give you another unit which is as quick as the bikes and likely to assault at the same time.
And don't forget something to sit in the backfield, shoot and claim an objective. Basic CSM unit + plasma in a havoc launcher rhino sort of thing.

Thats pretty much exactly what I was thinking. Am I gonna struggle against flyers though? should I probably get an aegis with quad gun?

You have your helturkey but an ADL would be good. The interceptor rule for the gun is good vs any reservists also, so why not.

Since allies of Convenience are now officially scoring units, grab Gretchin as a cheap and dirty backfield objective holder. Grab an Aegis with a Quad gun, and put the Grots behind it - they're so short that they're now out of sight and cannot be fired at. Put the Quad Gun a little back from the Aegis, so its Grot Gunner can see into the air but most models on the ground still cannot see him.

I think the grot idea is a bit naught and will shoot yourself in the foot when the opponent subsequently claims you can not fire at teleporting deep strikers, outflankers and walk on reserves.

We need to see your main csm army.
