ok so i just got some random green stuff and started making plague marines with me extra marine bits........ pretty much fell inlove with the models and so i've started playing a bit of csm with daemon allies all revolving around papa nurgle.... played a 1250 game against my gf playing eldar and managed a draw (my list was terrible) so with some changes and a rematch in sight i've made a 1850 list for the rematch:


Chaos Lord mark of nurgle, sigil of corruption, chaos bike, blight grenades & the black mace 175
Chaos Sorcerer mark of nurgle, sigil of corruption & mastery lvl 2 125
Herald of Nurgle mastery lvl 2 & icon of fecundity 120

ELITES
Hellbrute plasma cannon & powerfist 115
8 Plague Marines meltagun, plasmagun & champion with power weapon 232

TROOPS
15 Chaos Cultists autoguns & 1 heavy stubber 75
15 Chaos Cultists autoguns & 1 heavy stubber 75
15 Plaguebearers plagueridden with lesser reward 150

TRANSPORT
Chaos Rhino havoc launcher 47

FAST
7 Chaos Bikers mark of nurgle, plasmagun, meltagun & champion with power weapon 206
5 Plague Drones death heads, 2 with venom stings & plagueridden with lesser reward 260

HEAVY
Soul Grinder phlegm bombardment 165
Choas Preditor autocannon & sponson lascannons 115

1860 (we play with a 10pt leniency)
(played with drones in a team match, they did amazingly, as well as the 15 blob squad of plague bearers with fnp deep striking either in terrain of within 8" of an enemy to make the most of their defensive grenades. also got the lord with the bikes with his blight grenades giving the bikers stealth in 8" of an enemy and the black mace against T3 is golden. Trying out the soul grinder i like his weapon options and added the sorcerer to the plague marine squad in a rhino to give them alot harder hitting power, along with their immense staying power. don't like the hell budgie 175pts for a torrent flamer bleh.)

so thats my thinking lemme know what you think...

all comments welcome

If your chaos lord is your warlord your Plague Marines are troops instead of elites, not sure if he's not your warlord or listed differently

Your Soul Grinder needs to have a demonic alignment, as it cannot be unaligned

Also, remember that your sorcerer with a mark has to take an obligatory nurgle power which means you only get one additional at ML2

Personally I'd drop the Helbrute to free up the points for an extra ML on the sorcerer and a spell familiar (nothing is worse than losing a sorcerer to a perils or failing a do or die spell) as well as put the demonic alignment on the soul grinder. I don't have my codex's nearby to check points but that's what I would change

selected warlord unlocks specific warlord traits.
having Mark of x on secondary hq should still unlock corresponding troops choice.

edit: ignore, I misunderstood above poster.

You should break the cultists into 3 squads of 10, also take off the autoguns and heavy stubbers. I would also give your sorceror termi armor and drop the sigil. Also make him lvl 3. Sorcerors should always be lvl 3.
Personally I would drop the predator and bikes for 2x2 oblits, but I can still see the bikes and pred running well along their daemon counterparts.

hmm yea lord is warlord just left the plague marines in elites by mistake... just took the helbrute cause i had left over points.

as for the bikes they kinda make th backbone of this nurgle list so dropping them for 2 oblits seems a horrible waste (they kill alot more then 2 oblits could ever hope to kill.)

I'll do the sorcerer upgrade seems the better option and add the mark to the soul grinder
