hey guys, so after a phase of Slaanesh I've finally decided I want to go full Nurgle themed army and need some advice on my list so far

Chaos Lord
Terminator armour, MoN, Burning Brand of Skalathrax, chainfist, sigil of corruption
190

7 Plague Marines
2 plasmaguns, power weapon
Rhino - destroyer blades, dirgecaster
268

7 Plague Marines

268

10 Chaos Marines
2 plasmaguns, MoN
200

5 Chaos Terminators
MoN, 3 Combi-meltas, Reaper Autocannon, chainfist, power fist, TC with combi-melta and power fist
263

Ridley
Baleflamer
170


So basically the Termie Lord jumps in the Terminator squads and will either walk forward picking off a few infantry models and then go tank hunting when the meltas are in range or will deep strike in and tank hunt from there.
The 2 plague marine squads are gonna aim for the objectives and the rhinos will get them there as fast as they can and contest for them or just hammer up the field and ram into things with the destroyer blades, then get out shoot and then tie up things and stab them to a pulp for Papa Nurgle.

Meanwhile the CSM squad sits tight and hold my primary objective and then the heldrake swoops in and does what it does

The main problem I have is AV, I have the terminator squad and thats pretty much it. I still have 140 points left over however and was either thinking on a las pred, 4 MoN spawn or any suggestions you guys make.

so any tips and advice is welcome and CC

thanks.

Rhinos can probably drop destroyer blades, they wont come up all that often. Points you might want to spend getting the regular chaos marines a rhino. On foot they are to easy to kill as campers, and without ATSKNF or fearless/fnp they will drop and run. Just use cultists at that point, or grab a rhino and drive around/shoot stuff.

Adding in more AT is a must, and nurgle spawn are a great buy. Put your lord with em on a bike and go to town. Plasma can do light armor, but a las pred would add heavy. The other obvious option are nurgle oblits or even havocs.

I don't believe in power swords on plague champs cause you already get that sweet knife, and with S4 re rolling to wound is pretty good. Plus the ability to off MC's with ease. If you must get a power weapon, go with an axe, I3 swings last most of the time anyways, might as well kill what you swing at.

Although it is worthless on most other units, I believe in gifts of mutation on lords. Particularly CC lords. Nearly every roll will add a small but noted benefit.

okay here is a sorted list now

Nurgle Lists

Chaos Lord
Terminator armour, MoN, Burning Brand of Skalathrax, chainfist, sigil of corruption, blight grenades
195

7 Plague Marines
2 plasmaguns
Rhino - dirgecaster
238

7 Plague Marines
2 plasmaguns
Rhino - dirgecaster
238

10 Chaos Marines
2 meltaguns, MoN, 9 CCW, AC with power weapon
Rhino - dirgecaster
263

5 Chaos Terminators
MoN, 3 Combi-meltas, Reaper Autocannon, chainfist, power fist, TC with combi-melta and power fist
263

Ridley
Baleflamer
170

Predator
Twin-Linked lascannon, 2 lascannon sponsons
140

so just the same as the first list but now the chaos marine squad will go up with the plagues and help contest objectives and try help with taking HP of some vehicles and then tie up ranged squads and hold them up or beat them down while the terminators, drake and laspred does their thing

this is 1507 so i can either take the blight nades of my lord or a dirge caster from a PM squad or both since they wopnt charge a whole bunch but would be handy if the time comes

thoughts?
