Like the title say: would like some tips at making a AoS nurgle warrior list.
The mandatory units are:
10x blightkings [30 wounds]
Bloab rotspawned [12 wounds]
Glottkin [18 wounds]
Total: 60 wounds
Remaining: 40 wounds.

Why I want Bloab and glott is because they fit the theeme very well and then both have a 12" range attack that I think will be very usefull.
Because both are wizards it might be a good idea to also fit in atleast one chaos familiar to boost the magic phase.
Both bloab and glott have a chanse at making the oponent -1 to hit also.
glott can heal each herophase, and if he is within 3" of the blightkings, on 6's, he can heal 2D3 wounds (if I have the blightkings in two units of 5)

Any thoughts on this are super welcome!

To clearify: I need 40 wounds of nurgle units to fit the theeme and to be somewhat competative and synergetic with the mandatory part.

This is for a 100 wound tournament.

Thank you all in advance for all comments and suggestions!

Any caps in play? Most comp packs limit number of heroes (1-2) and number of monsters (0-2), and many take the hero limits further (wounds cap of various kinds), though I'm guessing that's not the case with your 30 wounds of them

So with that in mind: how about some faster things that aren't monsters or heroes? If keeping your model count low is a concern for you (because Sudden Death or something), you have various Monstrous Infantry-ish choices open, plus chariots and whatever.

No sudden death will be used for this.
The tournament will also include a kind of "hard picks" for all models with more then 10 wounds, so I got two of theese "hard picks".

I have bin thinkin about 20-25 plaugebearers for the -2 to shoot and -1 melee special rules and/or 10ish warriors of chaos with halberds (with 2" range) to strike from behind the blightkings or plaugebearers.

Thoughts on this?

An event worth going to then

You could totally do 20 plaguebearers + 10 halberd warriors, if that appeals to you. Brings your tough infantry blobs up to three, none of which are slouches in combat. Are there objectives you need to hold? Seems like a good build for that. Are you concerned about silencing war machines? A unit of fast things - furies maybe? - could be a thought. I'd rather see the bearers to 25 and the extra 15 wounds spent across more mobile elements. Speed and outmaneuvering is still apparently a thing, particularly against sloooow facebeaters like Stormcast or dwarfs. BK + PB can gum up the enemy line as monsters move in, shooting, smashing and magicking, while faster elements take care of backfield threats? Maybe?

- Salvage

Furies are not very thematic tho?
Would plauge drones work for this warmachine hunting you think?
5 atacks at melee, 4+ to hit 3+ to wound, 1 range atack, 14", 4+to hit 3+ to wound. Only 8" movement tho.
And three of theese drones are exactly 15 wounds

Thoughts?

Nurgle Furies have been a thing for many, many years, you'd just need to convert them - spore mines, flies, etc.

But that'd be a moot point if you're using plague drones! Love it, great filler for those points. Keeps up your theme of 'big awesome Nurgle things most of which shoot' nicely, while providing some faster movement

- Salvage

I dont think furies are in the daemons or warriors warscroll tho :/ . I might be wrong and then I shall check the rules for those.

What would be best in your opinion, 25 plaugebearers or like 11 chaos warriors with mon and halberds and the rest of the points go for chaos familiars to get that sweet +1 cast and +1 unbind on my casters?

Ok.
I have now decided on a force for the 100 wound tournament.
This tournament will not use sudden death.

Glottkin [18 wounds]
Bloab rottspawned [12 wounds]

10x Blightkings, Banner, Music [30 wounds]
11x Chaos Warriors, MoN, Full Command, Halberds [22 wounds]

4x Chaos Trolls [16 wounds]
1x Chaos Familiar [1 wound]
1x Chaos Familiar [1 wound]

The idea is to have blightkings in front and warriors behind striking over them.
Behind them is Glott and Bloab shooting over the footsoldiers with their 12" attack and doing magic.
And one familiar next to each bloab and glott to get +1 to cast and +1 to unbind.

The Trolls run down one of the flanks to try to take out eventual warmachines.

The trolls will be replaced by plauge drones at a later date, but for now I use the trolls because I have the finnished modells for this and not for drones.

Any thoughts and suggestions and/or thoughts on this?
