hello,
while awaiting a proper Nurgle cult list... someday, I've put together the following. Please help streamline it without suggesting helturkeys or dinobots or a titan. Should I go a multiple Herald psyker route and attempt to spawn more plaguebearers? Would a flying MoN Daemon prince be crucial? It's been suggested I drop a squad of PlagueMarines. Please CC keeping in my I want the general feel of this army not to change so much.


CSM CAD:
Lord, MoN, Murdersword, Bike, Sigil of Corruption, Meltabombs, Veterans of the Long War
PlagueMarines x7, x2 Melta, Champ with Powerfist - Rhino with Dirge Caster
PlagueMarines x7, x2 Melta, Champ with Powerfist - Rhino with Dirge Caster
PlagueMarines x7, x2 Flamer, Champ with Powerfist - Rhino with Dirge Caster
Chaos Spawn x3, MoN (to accompany Lord)
Predator, Autocannon, Heavy Bolters sponsons, Warpflame Gargoyles

Allied Nurgle Daemon CAD:
Great Unclean One, Mastery lvl 2, Exalted Daemonic Rewards
Plaguebearers x12
Plaguebearers x12
Plague Drones x3, Icon of Chaos

Nurgle DP with maxed out rewards and mastery levels is going to outperform GUO pretty much every time. GUO is just too slow. I'd sub both units of plague bearers for nurglings to acommodate the points difference. Drop the dakka pred and use the points to max out on spawn to accompany the lord.

Take a heldrake and some blight drones. Anti flyer is a must now wtih Skies.

Blight Drones are great flyers and fit perfectly in your Nurgle army. They can be taken in squadrons of up to three, which I would recommend doing. I would say drop the Lord, the GUO, the plague drones, and the predator. Use those points to add in the Flying Nurgle Prince and at least two blight drones. You may have to shave some points off your troops to make it fit. Take a Herald as you HQ and replace the Plague Bearers with Nurglings to save points. You can use the Herald to summon more Plague Bearers later in the game or even a GUO if you wanted.

I would make the Plague Marine units 5 man (unless your sticking with 7 for fluff reasons) and also swap the power fists for swords. The Melta guns should take care of armour, swords should be enough for most other opponents.

Try something like this

HQ - DPoN - 325
-Wings
-MoN
-Psy lvl 3
- Armours
;- Exalted Reward

1x3 Blight Drone unit - 450

1x3 Nurglings - 45
1x3 Nurglings - 45
