3 battalions for 18cp

- 2 daemon prince with talons/wings
- 2 poxbringers
- epidemus
- sloppily bilepiper

- 14 units of 5 nurglings
- 1 unit of 4 nurglings

Comes in at 1992pts.

Controls the board with the nurglings being able to be deployed all over. Nearly 300 wounds of nurglings on the table with the 5+ invul followed by 5+ resilient test.

The characters end up making the nurglings hit harder in combat and peovide some Psyic support.

what is your goal with this list? you cant play it in a tournament setting because of the rule of three and in casual play most players i know wouldnt want to play against you just because playing against spam seems very boring to play against so what do you want to accieve with the list?

The rule of 3 doesn't apply to troop units.

With the new beta infiltrate rules those nurglings are going to struggle to get into combat until turn 3. If somone is mobile like dukari or eldar then maybe never. Most places round here play beta rules in tournements plus there's a likelyhood of buying and painting 74 nurglings that get nerfed if the beta rules come into full effect.
Maybe a toned down version of this list with 8 units of nurglings, a big unit of plaguebearers and more charachter beatsticks would be more effective.

How do the beta rules affect Nurglings? They can just deploy further out than normal units.

Think I'm loosing my mind, I have been presuming/playing that nurglings were effected in the same way that forward operatives were in faq 2, with a 9 inch scout move. But now can't find that anywhere so probably made that up to hamstring myself..?

Either way, I think a bit of variety in this list wouldn't go amiss!

I have been contemplating a list similar to this, but with great unclean ones with the doomsday bell.
