Hello all! I used to play Chaos a number of years ago, sold off everything, now I'd like to get back into it! I really like the fluff and modeling/painting options for Nurgle in both codexes so that's the vein of Chaosy goodness I'd like to stay within. I do play tournaments from time to time, but primarily just get together with friends to play casually. As such, I'd like to at least provide good games for my friends and be able to be 50/50 at tournaments at the least with this list.

It's been a while since I've visited the CSM and Demons codicies so if I've made some just awful choices that would be why! I am familiar with the typical Demon builds as well as what CSM gets lumped into it but was able to find surprisingly few Nurgle lists from 6th. Anyway, enough rambling.

CSM (primary):

HQ: Demon Prince, Wings, Black Mace, Demon of Nurgle, Power Armor - 265 pts

HQ: Chaos Lord, Bike, Aura of Dark Glory, Lightning Claw, Burning Brand of Skalathrax, Mark of Nurgle, Melta Bombs - 150 pts

Troops: 2x7 Plague Marines w/ 2 Plasma Guns - 396 pts

Fast Attack: Heldrake w/ Baleflamer - 170 pts

Fast Attack: 4x Spawn with the Mark of Nurgle - 144 pts

Demons:

HQ: Demon Prince, Nurgle, Flight, Warpforged Armor, Greater Reward, Psyker lvl 1 - 265 pts

Troops: 2x10 Plaguebearers - 180 pts

Heavy Support: Soul Grinder, Nurgle, Phlegm Bombardment - 180 pts

Total - 1750

My thought was that this way I have 3 flyers/FMCs (not too spammy), resilient troops, a harassment unit with some hitting power, and the Grinder, Lord, and Spawn for hordes/skyfire.

Thanks everyone for looking and for your comments/suggestions!

Pretty sure just having a daemon Prince of nurgle won't allow you to take plague marines as troops.

This is true.

Seems pretty solid except for the PMs not being troops and that the meltas in the PM squads will have a very hard time reaching their target as the rhino will be destroyed very fast in most cases

Doh! I originally had a biker lord in there and forgot to retool the HQ slots, my bad. As for the Meltaguns, would I be better served with naked Plague Marines in a Rhino (for the better, if brief, mobility) or no Rhino and plasma guns? List will be edited to be legal asap!

Also, I think you may want to check the points on your Nurgle Lord. He should be around 165 with that loadout. Other than that, looks fun!
