Baleswords are a Greater Reward, not lesser

:O !!!

Thanks for the heads up !

I'd find points to get ML3 and 2 Greater Rewards on all of your princes. They become much more consistent performers when you fully invest in them.

Your Khorne Heralds both want lesser rewards for an axe of Khorne. At 10 pts it's a steal for +1S AP2 at initiative that causes instant death on 6s to wound. Argath is alright but the axe is better. (And cheaper).

Swap out Contangion for the doomsday bell. Army wide - 1 leadership to your opponent is great.

Epidemia is, again, alright, but the Balesword is better on an MC.

If you are really in a pinch for points, 2 DPs with ML3 and 1 with no psychic is better than 3 DPs with ML2
It costs the same and you get the same warp charge, but you increase the chances of rolling the "good" powers. If you spread the ML out too much, you risk rolling "dud" powers on all the DPs without the extra roll to make up for it.

Also, I forgot to mention in the other thread that Karanak makes Crushers worth taking. He gives them Scout. Otherwise, I might just drop them from the list entirely and roll some Malefic on your psykers. Crusher make a good unit for Incursion to summon

And only 2 troops at in ANY list over 1000pts is asking to lose (even in casual games). A good rule of thumb is to have 1 Troop per 500pts of your list ***cough, nurglings, cough***.
Summoning if fine, but ObSec is best.

Okay, I changed the list but noticed your last reply. I'll work on it.

Just out of curiousity, why are all your Nurgle Psykers taking 1 roll on Plague?
They get the Primaris for free no matter what and they are NOT like Chaos Space Marine who HAVE to take 1 roll on their Patrons lore.

You can totally roll all 3 powers on Biomancy if you want. Or mix Biomancy and Malefic

I thought it could be fluffy. Seriously thought, I had no serious reason.
