Hi

Have always loved Chaos and with the new rules I'm finally ready to dip my toe in the chaos pool of hate. Like the durability of Nurgle compared to my Eldar and Ork armies, although would love some new models to drop. Any feedback on the list below would be great. Am thinking of using the Warpack as a utility unit that I could switch out for a Chaos Knight if needed.

Idea is the two Maulerfiends and spawn to push up quickly with the terminators dropping in the backfield and the havocs to provide fire support while sitting on objectives. The two biker units will add fire support where needed and the rhinos can drop off units to secure objectives or tie down units with their T5.

Any thoughts? I know there's been lots of nurgle lists but ant opinions and suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I think it's pretty solid. It might be worth writing the list out as the battlescribe output is hard to read.

Did you miss Mark of Nurgle on the warpsmith?
(possibly deliberate, it's dead points, but you lose stealth..)

How do you plan on dealing with psykers?

Thanks all edited now! Have only just discovered battle scribe and was feeling lazy over Christmas! Have tidied it up now, hopefully its a bit clearer, have added the mark to the warpsmith and dropped the two chainfists for power axes on the terminators.

Rip them a new one with charging maulerfiends, spawn and bikers??? Best to try and fit in a nurgle sorcerer?

Would love to pad out the terminators a little and perhaps the bikers. Maybe drop the spawn for this? Although like the speed and power of them, plus they add a different threat. What are the general feelings of the hell forged warpack?
