Hi! I've been into 40k for about a year now. Reading the site for a year also first time posting though. The minute I started I immediately embraced the love of papa Nurgle!
I have played several armies in my group since then including Grey Knights,Space Wolves, Blood Angels,Imperial Fists,Orks,Eldar and most hated of all Nec(overthefu*ckpowered)rons. I just wanted to post the list I have most success with here to see what y'all think

I don't have a lot of access to money to buy a new models so while most suggestions would be appreciated, small and minor and FREE would be more appreciated! Also all advice on beating Necrons would be as aforementioned before, greatly appreciated.

Please bestow upon me your learned and wise Dakka!

Also, F*ck Helldrakes.

The flamer and melta squads need rhinos. Drop 2 plague marines from the flamer and melta squad to get rhinos.

Remove and Replace all plasma pistols with combi meltas or nothing at all.

Is lord able to hold bbos, power fist, lightning claw?

If Belakor is comparable to GUO then replace it with that. Belakor has access to all psychic abilities available to chaos.

I have only one Rhino at the moment but I'll try see if I can scavenge another two!

Are plasma pistols really that bad? I deep strike (Suicide) the Raptor squad right beside a tank and have them pop it. The plasma pistol works really well for that I think and I'm nto a huge fan of combi meltas but I'll give it a go sure!

I am not sure but is he not expensive enough already at 180?

The GUO is quite good! Belakor wouldn't really be fluffy either :/

Cheers for the tips man!

Hey! Nurgle CSM is awesome with daemon allies, I've actually just put together a 2000 pt. fluff list as well.

A few changes that I've found work really well bring out a few great synergies in the Daemon codex.

In my fast attack slot for the daemon allies I use a minimum squad of plaguedrones, one with an Icon of Chaos and one upgraded to a Plaguebringer with a single lesser reward for the AP2 Etherblade. The whole squad also has the 3+ poison upgrade (which adds it to the etherblade ) they come to 171 points, the box is around $40 (canadian) i think but it has the full squad in it at least if you did end up purchasing it.

I also give my squad of plaguebearers an instrument of chaos, literally the best 10 points you could spend. Hold them in reserve with your GUO seperate but also in reserves. Roll for the Plaguebearers first and if they make their roll you get your big guy in for free! This effectviely gives your GUO 2 rolls to try and get in since if the plagues dont get in he still gets his own roll.

This is where the Icon on the Plague drones comes in. They move 12" then assault move 2d6" turn 1 and then on turn 2 you drop big ol' GUO 6" away from them with NO SCATTER
I've found this really effective because it gets him mid field waaay faster and far more reliably than walking 6" a turn especially with Slow and Purposeful.

If you dropped each of the plague marine squads to 7 (which is super fluffy haha) you'd have just enough points. Also, if the Lord has melta bombs you might be able to drop the bombs on the biker champ, that would also save you 5 points if you needed it.

Keep it sleezy

Aww no way what's your list like?

Jesus Christ 40 dollars? That is dirt cheap! Unfortunately over here in Ireland they are 46 euro a box, which is about 70 in Canadian dollars but I've always wanted them ever since I seen the model so I might get some for my birthday or something.

The icon of chaos seems a bit redundant to me as I find the later the great unclean one comes in the better he destroys! It's harder to shoot him when a lot of the guns in the squads already dead! Also on this same point the main person I play plays necrons and some how always get's me to go first. This would usually not be a bother but the problem is his deathmasks, When I deep strike my great unclean one in he drops them in too and targets the GUO meaning he wounds it on a 2+. Effectively turning everything the great unclean stands for into mush! It saddens me that they even still wound him on a 2+ in close combat. (THEY ARE F*CKIN SNIPERS! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE CLOSE COMBAT WEAPONS!)

The instrument of chaos on the blight drones however sounds like an absolutely fantastic idea! That alone would justify the points of the plague drones!

Thanks for the advice man, much appreciated!
