Beasts of Nurgle: Beast of Nurgle

Nurglings: 3 Nurglings

Plague Drones of Nurgle: 3 Plague Drones

Plague Drones of Nurgle: 3 Plague Drones

Battalion: Tallyband of Nurgle

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, but this list is not good at all. Never take lesser demon units in pack of 20. The following is from NinthMuskateer's "Building a Nurgle Army" thread:

The most efficient way to use plaguebearers is in units of 10 or 30. This is because Matched Play does not have scaling unit costs for size-based abilities; plaguebearers get stronger if they have twenty or more models in the unit which effectively means plaguebearers 20-30 are individually worth more than 1-19. A 10-man unit on the other hand is the smallest size needed to fill battleline requirements and also serves as a chaff unit that doesn't lose you many points when it dies. And that is precisely the role of plaguebearers: to die in whatever manner most obstructive to your opponent. A 10-man unit is best strung out to cover as much area as it can on your flanks to obstruct enemies, moving towards objectives and/or cover where they can.

Also Heralds are NOT worth the points. Maybe one to babysit a 30 "man" blob of plaguebros. Also at 2k.. two GUO are much much better then one.

I would agree with Salamander in this one, and I would suggest you maybe consider this list instead:


Allegiance: Chaos

Leaders
Great Unclean One (240)
Great Unclean One (240)
Daemon Prince Of Nurgle (160)
Herald Of Nurgle (100)

Battleline
30 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (300)
10 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (100)
10 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (100)

Units
6 x Plague Drones Of Nurgle (440)
3 x Plague Drones Of Nurgle (220)

Battalions
Tallyband of Nurgle (100)

Total: 2000/2000

That list has more punch via the Drones + Prince, and still retains the resillience via the Plaguebearers + Herald, and the double GUO is also good on their own in melee but also adds some decent ranged attacks, as few as Nurgle daemons have them, to your list.
