This will work really well, until you find an enemy that ignores cover...

Tau and elder? That's fine, I go for offensive ranged/summoning powers and fly around, instead of offensive melee and gliding into charges.

The real issue with lists like this is that you have no board control whatsoever; Flyrant lists have the same issue, but they at least try to mitigate the problem with Mawlocs or Tyrannocyte drops. Anything that isn't phased by the offensive output of flying Nurgle Princes (which isn't much) will just let you fly around and ignore you.

Sure, but that's why I have 15 base psychic dice, and five primaris summoning casts.

Yeah good point, I'd missed the summoning dice. It;'ll take practice to master. 7 dice for a good summon probability, so you're looking at 2/3 a turn, maybe pop some heralds up for more dice. the spell familiar prince can risk going lower with the re roll..

or stick to lots of low probability rolls, less efficient but lower chance of perils.

Word of warning. it sucks to get grounded (and lose jink!) from perils.

Iirc, you can still jink in glide mode.

But, perils is what I'm most worried about with the marine detachment prince. I'm thinking psychic shrieks, smites, and summonings for powers vs armies that force me to flaky instead of charge, and straight biomancy/summon for armies I can charge.

You can jink in glide mode, but not when you are grounded.

Okay. But you can't get grounded from glide, correct?

Hard to tell how you've written the list but do you have 4 exalted rewards? One on each prince? You really only need the grimore and possibly the portal. Dropping three exalted for three greaters saves 30pts. Plus the greaters make you potentially tougher. Then drop ichor and aura for another 20. This nets 50pts to replace the nurglings with a unit of horrors for more summoning. If you could find 4 pts you could get a unit of 11 for more warp charge. Just a thought.
