I've taken a break from 40k for 2 years due to moving. I am trying to see if there is potential to make a competitive Nurgle assault style list for 7th edition. I currently have 9 ravenwing bikes I am working on converting into Nurgle in addition to 3 chaos spawn and the dark vengeance starter. I am literally starting over so want to know where to go from what I have to build an 1850 list. I played at the start of 5/6th? But stopped around end of 2013. I'm wanting an CSM army that can move semi fast, has something to handle other competitive armies, and if possible not spamming more than 2 units of same type. I know it's a lot to ask, since I'm pretty much starting from scratch. I'm down to buy the Chaos daemons codex as allies since I'm looking to not spam too many units if possible. Any experienced Nurgle players would really appreciate input.

Classic Nurgle CSM list I have seen and copied 100 times...

Lord, Bike, MoN, PF+LC, Sigil

Plague marines, 2 melta guns, champ with mb, rhino, combi melta

copy squad

6 Nurgle Bikers, 2 melta, champ with pf
5 Spawns, MoN
darn drake, if you dont like it then maybe 2 squads of bikes instead

3 Obliterators squads with MoN and VotlW
or 3 mauler fiends

This is the best it will get. This list been around since 2012.

filch is right. I will run that sometimes and it is fun. The down side to it is mass shooting. You get the Oblits for the big and the bikes will pop armour, but i find it tough against hordes as you dont have 40 bolters out there to wipe out a green tide list. A few well placed Plasma Cannons will help that though.
