Hi,
I'm wondering if the list will be competative. Please comment your thoughts.

Main idea is to slowly cover the board. One Plagueburst crawler moves along. All the Tzeentch powers will be doing mortal wounds and the cultists are there to deny deapstrike and take objectives.
Do I have enough punch?

Battalion Nurgle deamons
- Poxbringer
- Spoilpox Scrivener

- 3 Nurglings
- 3 Nurglings
- 30 plague bearers

Battalion Thousand sons
- Ahriman on disk
- Daemon pronce of Tzeentch

- 40 cultists
- 15 cultists
- 30 Tzaangors

- Tzaangor shaman

Spearhead Death guard
- Chaos Lord

- Poxwalkers

- Plagueburst crawler (entropy)
- Plagueburst crawler (entropy)
- Plagueburst crawler (spitter)

Not sure if you have enough offense but maybe so. Not sure if you need the poxwalkers and plague caster though

The poxwalkers are more there because I had the points, bit olso deny deepstrike.
Lost the plaguecaster and put in a shaman.

Maby replace the whole tzeentch section for mortarion ore 3 heleverins?

no sense play entropy cannons on PBC

Agree that all the Plagueburst Crawlers should be running Spitters over Entropy Cannons. Given that you have the HQ's to buff them, I'd see you getting more mileage out of having a larger number of Plaguebearers rather than Cultists/Poxwalkers. Going with those changes I ended up with....


Daemons Battalion

Poxbringer
Spoilpox Scrivener
Nurglings x 3
Plaguebearers x 30, Instrument
Plaguebearers x 30, Instrument

Thousand Sons Battalion
Ahriman on Disc
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
Tzaangors x 30, Brayhorn
Cultists x 10
Cultists x 10

Death Guard Spearhead
Chaos Lord
Plagueburst Crawler

I like it, looks like it could be solid. I was trying to sort out how to make a similar list earlier today, but couldn't free up the points. I hadn't considered a basic Chaos Lord instead of a Daemon Prince as a buff-caddy for the Crawlers. Everything moves forward full speed (for Nurgle, anyway), with the Tzaangors popping in to bust screens, supported by Crawlers. Plaguebearers screen the tanks and Thousand Sons characters to keep them from being charged, and you flame, Smite, and stab away. I'd test it out if I owned the Crawlers.

Great advise, thnx! I will test this list, thoug I have to buy 30 extra plague bearers

yes i agree that list is more solid, 60 pb's are hard to dislodge actually im playing 90 of them with a Ts supreme command and Dg spearhead like above.

I would try to get a poxbringer in there. The +1 str helps your crawlers and Bearers. Maybe lose one prince for poxbringer and shaman?

Both the list in the original post as well as the one I put up include a Poxbringer.

@Blackmage: Yep, barring a CA point adjustment or new book, Plaguebearers are always going to be (disgustingly) efficient. I take it you're just running Ahriman + Princes for the Supreme Command, and foregoing the Tzaangor bomb? That's probably more efficient, but I do like those bird-goat-men. Did you find the points to slip a Bilepiper in there? At 3 units of bearers I think that's the point where Icons and a Piper probably become worthwhile.

this is what i ran last two tournaments

A Slopitty would be great indeed.
How did you do with that list blackmage?
