Hi,

I was playing around with this idea of having dual Lords in an unholy corrupted, decaying alliance of Slaanesh and Nurgle. The main idea being that both of them are really cool. As well as both NM and PM are really strong troop choices.


Idea/battleplan:

The Slaanesh Lord (Warlord) and bikers form an harassing unit. Most probably rolling on Personal traits and hoping for either outflank or becoming scoring unit. My warlord is into pain and does not have an Inv save, but benefits from FnP. Stupid? T5 should make him immune to instakill and he should swing first against most opponents. The brand and dual flamers should be able to hurt most troop choices.

Also, not sure if it's too much of a points sink into a second HQ to unlock the plague marines, but the second lord is semi-cheap and should be able to take on most challenges. With T5 and a decent Inv save this shuld mean he will not get Instakilled and get to swing that rusty axe against most opponents I hope.

Noise marines (and Havoks) hold my half objecives and generally shoot stuff down. Plague marines and bikers attack and harass, taking/contesting other half objectives, supported by Oblits (working as flexible terminators) if needed.

Will it work? Is it good or bad?

No response at all, 75 views and not even a single poll vote? :(

Come on Dakka!

I like the concept a lot but you just have far too few bodies on the table. I think you should boost it up to 2k and fill in the gaps or drop the Havocs and get some nurgle cultists for objectives.

Thanks for the votes everyone.

I agree, there's very few troops and bodies around. Will try to rework this list up to 1750-2000 and see if I can't get something better out of this concept..

You need a higher point level I think. You need cultists, larger squads of noise marines and plague marines, and rhinos for your elite-made-troop squads.

I bumped it up to 1750p for a first look. Still no transports though, don't want to give away First blood.

The concept works better here I think. How about you guys and girls? Add some more points? Cultists you say, hmm.
