Uncomped event of 2400pts, I know it's not unique but wanted some advice

- Fateweaver
- Epidimus
- Nurgle Herald, Battle Standard Bearer w/ Warbanner, Locus of Regeneration

- 32 Plaguebearers w/ Standard of Swiftness
- 10 Pink Horrors, Banner

- Beast of Nurgle (2)
- Beast of Nurgle (2)

- Skullcannon
- Skullcannon
- Plague Drones (5), Full Command w/ Lichebone Pendant

Epi helps with my nurgle buffs, but clever players know to cannon him, but that can't be helped.
Beasts in 2's are tough and can't have points for 3's
Fateweaver will hopefully wreck with his speed of light, wildform etc
Plague drones looks phenomenal and hopefully will hold there own, with life magic backing them up
Skullcannons for range really

Lichebone on the plague block? Or discipline? Swiftness is a concept as well.

Not going with 4-1-1 beasts? At the cost of the second khorne dogs I'd guess.

Lichebone is very good, thats in!

Would you say the 4-1-1 is better than the second unit of hounds?

Single beasts are pretty easy for any of my armies to remove, but I really struggle with 3+ beatdown teams of them. Especially with my Daemons of Tzeentch, I just feel like I've got nothing to stop them, especially in combat, and that's before any augments/hexes get involved. AND before Epi's tally gets involved - helps that a big beast block can both rack up the tally and benefit from it like whoa.

Okay this isn't filth... I can't believe people have not pointed this out

1. Epi will get cannoned or magiced out of the game almost immediately since he doesn't get look out sir. Especially with barely any nurgle units, what's the point?

2. Your bsb doesn't get Look out sir if you are on palaQuin. That makes you a mons cav so it's useless. Also give him locus and greater gift if you are gonna use him.

3. Why 2 pink horror packs? Fate weaver has so many spells you are basically paying for 65 slaves for 1channel. get rid of Em and horde up the plagues

4.drop all your special. Start anew. Flesh hounds are overcosted and not worth it nurglings? That's fluffy Try to fit this: 6 beasts in one unit and 2 unmarked furies. beasts are the most op gak in this game, if you want a filthy list then abuse it. Furies are good chaff.

5. I will tell you one thing about fateweaver, he is only good if your magic phases are good. he has no value outside of magic Since he sucks in close combat. Try out lvl 4 keeper with slaanesh and laugh when you bubble caco.

6. If you have points left over, invest in drones.

Just Wondering, but what event are you going too?
List looks pretty cool I think, more balanced though then cheese

I dont think there is enough Nurgle here to take advantage of Epi for one, I usually run two blocks one of 30 plague bearers with two heralds plus epi and 6 beasts, it takes a good few turns to start to get the tally up but you have magic and shooting before then to whittle opponents down with. Razor standard is good but with Fatey and Epis tally not sure it is always needed, I think there are better banners out there my current is Rampagers standard with +1 move on the plague bearers. On that note I think regen locus is very good and you are getting regen against most spells so the +1 ward save is redundant.

The flesh hounds, good against part gun lines average against most other armies. Think more beasts are overall better then the second unit of flesh hounds.

For the two units of horrors, if you plan on spamming blue fire then fine other then that the only spells that are good from Tzeentch against most armies is bolt of change and infernal gateway, only having two rolls on tzeentch slim chance you will get one but when you do get gateway on Horrors they are fun.

Plague bearers are the kings of holding not of killing but the heralds arent bad, str5 and toughness 5 with ws5 and minus one to hit is beastly, hence why I run two plus epi, the non bsb having a greater gift with something like sword of anti heroes or sword of strife or ogre blade or Balesword, you get 9 str5 (6 with tally at first level) at ws5 and poision on most attacks, throw timewarp on them for 12 attacks with ASF at int4 (or speed of light as well for ws10 int 10) they walk through most units....

Warbanner is pointless on them, with a bsb and fatey re roll dont worry about losoing combat by 1.

Changed the list around, have a look
