So i've stuck doing overtime at the office all weekend and got to thinking about Chaos and how to invoke the dark gods so i could get my weekend back and not be shackled to my desk hehe (also wanted to put thought into something other than how to progress my IG too - maybe renegades just to stick it to the golden throne?)

Step 1 - prevent building from functioning

Tzeentch - toy around with electrical systems so phone intercomms squelches with snow interference and the grids of fluorescent lights flicker and cause seizures and then just cut the power off altogether eventually

Step 2 - make building so you don't want to be in it

Slaanesh - fill each level with screams and cries of panic, terror, and pain that eminate from every dark corner and closet and the ladies restroom (can't be the guys restroom as it would be just some dude having a bad bm in the far stall - probably nurgle) so nobody would dare come into the building

Step 3 - building is condemned by the health department

Nurgle - infest the building with 7 plagues to prevent it from being occupied (some of those plagues could originate from forgotten and neglected science experiments in the form of 8 week old lunch left overs in the bottom of the kitchenette fridge)

Step 4 - F'k it, just demolish the damn place.

Khorne - level the building and leave a pile of skulls on top of the rubble

oh well back to thinking about a nurgle spam list that popped into my mind earlier today while eating lunch.

perhaps this is a slice of time when typhus infested hydra minoris or agripinaa and he brought very few/limited resources with him as he intended to "re-purpose" his victims.. errr future followers into fighting what defenses he came across.

I don't have the codex with me at the office so not sure/don't remember if Typhus has to deploy with the zombies or not. either way, he can foot slog with the middle of 3 zombie packs or can bunker up in the land raider with the termi squad until the land raider bumps into something.

60x strong FNP/Fearless screen for 15x chaos spawns and 3x maulerfiends and a land raider.

yeah i'm probably hosed if anyone deploys any birds.

was contemplating between havoc launcher on the land raider or VotLW on the Termi's. guess it's kind of situational.

I could also drop a pack of spawn for a baledrake and maybe extra armor on the land raider with the extra points left over.

just some ideas to get my mind off of work here hehe. not exactly going to win every GT/game/match/tourney and it's definitely resting a lil' on the fluffy side of things perhaps, but it might be a fun list to build and play.

Any thoughts, tips, suggestions, advice, C&C etc are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Tak

Spawns alone are no good. They put out unreliable str 5 hits that marines get to save on +3armor. However spawns escorting a Nurgle biker lord is good because it is like giving him 15 wounds. Use Look Out Sir to keep the Lord alive. Nurgle Bikes provide melta guns and the champ has melta bombs.

Plague Zombies lose FNP if they get shot at with Str6 guns. Plague Zombies do not get t4 so str6 will insta kill t3 zombies. Insta kill ignore multiple wounds which zombies dont have anyways but it also denies fnp. Just lettng you know.

Typhus with termi retinue and LR transport is a huge point sink. just letting you know.

If I want to play bikes, then i'll play my DA ravenwing. nurgle bikers are not very fluffy, nor are raptors for that matter.

yes i do understand the mechanics of FNP...

meatshield = meatshield... if someone is shooting high STR weapons at the plague zombies, those are attacks not directed at the maulerfiends....

guess the argument could be made that any unit that cannot survive a S6-S9 or D weapon is of absolutely no use in the game???

was contemplating cutting the spawns down to 1 full pack and toss typhus in with them as they foot slog across the board behind the meatshield screen.

i could take 5 of the most widely used and favorite and most effective chaos units of all time, in lieu of the termi squad, 5x helbrutes in a mayhem formation... everytime they get mentioned the next reply is always written by someone with a distinct undertone that to use helbrutes = you don't deserve to play wh40k hehe

and for the record i did qualify that i had no misconceptions about winning ANY GT or tourney. but everyone knows that if you don't field a list that tables the opponent on turn 1-2 then you're not playing WH40k correctly (/sarcasm)...
