So I've always liked the idea of Nurgle Bikers. First off, bikers are bad ass. Secondly, making them T6 is just fun. I also like the fluff.

I was curious if you all think this list would be competitive enough to keep up with anything. Or if you had any suggestions:

3 Chaos Bikers w/ MoN
Leader - Champion Biker
Guerilla Specialist - Biker w/Plasma Gun - [Preferred Enemy]
???? Specialist - Biker w/Plasma Gun - [????]

5 CSMs
????? Specialist - Marine[????]

193 points. Not sure how to spend the last bit of points and not sure on the specialists. I figured give one of the plasma guns preferred enemy so that they could re-roll if they ever got hot, but that might be a waste. Let me know what you all think!

3 Chaos Bikers w/ MoN
Indomitable Specialist - Champion Biker [Feel No Pain]
Guerilla Specialist - Biker w/Plasma Gun - [Preferred Enemy]
Weapon Specialist - Biker w/Plasma Gun - [Master-crafted]

5 CSMs
Leader - Marine w/CCW
Marine w/Flamer

Okay, so I've played a couple of games with this list against a Tyranid player and didn't have much luck at all.
The idea behind taking Preferred Enemy and Master-crafted is to avoid the plasma gun's "Get's Hot!" rule. Which turned out to be great, cause unfortunately I was rolling nothing but ones.
I'm considering taking Hit & Run for one of the bikers, just in case they get locked in combat. But I'm uncertain.

Bumping looking for any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

maybe insted of CSM look into cultist, for some weight and fire power(never thought i would say that) but that can help you get some bodys so that ur bikes can focuse of elminating targets. what happened in ur games, what worked? i would htink with Kill team 2 plasmas would be too much i would think 1 with mastercrafter or preffered enemie would be enough then use points for a few more bodys or anouther bike, moble platform is what should be making this work. my .02

Thanks Slipknotzim!

The bikers worked until they got locked in close combat, and the CSMs did not do much at all honestly. The marines got to the objectives and then got shot up/locked in combat, and eventually died.

I actually have some cultists laying around, I'll give them a shot today. I only have 10 though, so I'll give them the MoN upgrade just to fill in points. Probably not the most sound tactical decision, but it will do for this afternoon.

I think taking only one plasma gun is a good note. For the most part the plasma shots never got a wound in. I was shooting at a Zoanthrope which has a 3++ and couldn't break it.

Thanks again for the notes!

4 Chaos Bikers w/ MoN
Indomitable Specialist - Champion Biker [Feel No Pain]
Guerilla Specialist - Biker - [Hit & Run]
Weapon Specialist - Biker w/Plasma Gun - [Master-crafted]

10 Cultists w/MoN
Leader Cultist

I like the ideas of bikes. That toughness would make kill IG very hard against my IG. Against me you would probably wreck me so I'm liking the list.
