On Veteran’s Day, Elliot (AWC member) and I met up at the Chicago Battle Bunker for an 1850pts pick-up game. Pitting his Orcs vs my Demons of Chaos. This time I did not bring the Screamerstar list. No need to bring the Screamerstar (easy button) army.

Did the furies do anything this game? I've got some coming in the mail (either slaneesh or khorne rather than Nurgle though) and wondering how to go about using them?

Very nice looking armies I gotta say
They did not do a thing. I use them to get Linebreaker or Objective grabbing in the Scouring Mission. 7 Furies at 61 pts is a cheap throwaway unit. In this game I used the Furies to block the Boyz from getting to my Plaguebearers holding the Relic, or at least slow down the Orc Boyz.
