Hey guys,

Looking for some help optimizing this list. Trying to make it as competitive as possible.


Soup Batallion:

Herald of Tzeentch, flickering flames, gaze (warlord, daemonspark)
Renegade Commander

3 nurglings
30 bloodletters, instrument
30 horrors, icon

Plagueburst Crawler
Plagueburst Crawler
Plagueburst Crawler

Daemons Fortification Detachment:

Gnarlmaw

Alpha Legion Batallion:

Jump pack lord (blade of the hydra)
Jump Pack Sorcerer (prescience, warp time)

10 cultists
10 cultists
10 cultists

3 Oblits (Slaanesh)
3 Oblits (Nurgle)
3 Oblits (Nurgle)

1995
9 CP

4 for deep strikes

Things I’m considering:

Not really a huge fan of the renegade Commander. The cheap HQ slot is nice but I feel like I’d want something more functional, like maybe a second Tzeentch HQ for another psyker

Tzeentch warlord traits. I think daemonspark is the best but that warp tether though

Do I need two units of Nurglings?

Should I go all out for Nurgle on the Oblits? The tree is pretty amazing imo. Having a 0+ save (taking 2+ saves against AP -2) seems pretty spectacular on paper. All at -1 to hit.

Not sure if the Sorcerer needs a jump pack.

All looks solid.

Honestly starting with 3 lots of nurglings is preferred but what can you do.
