Working on this list, played it twice... not sure how to improve on it.

Hey man, looks good. Similar to the list I've been running but instead of the contemptors I've been running Scarab Occult Terminators and an extra daemon prince.

I think for this list though it's a shame to lose your nurgle locus for the one unit of bloodletters. Also CP is at a premium and paying 3 out of your starting 9 for that unit leaves you a little short. Especially if your buying relics and the nugle banner.

As much as I am a fan of a letter bomb I would drop it for 3 nurglings and maybe an extra daemon prince or maybe some more shooting. New oblits could be good (depending on points) if you drop a contemptor as well.

Great feedback and seems to echo some others. I keep trying with the bloodletters, haha... they just seem to gimp the lists i can build

Yeah I had the same problem trying to fit Alpha Legion oblits, bloodletters, plaguebearers and Ahriman in 3 detachments. So I swapped oblits for SOTs.

Maybe you could make a T Sons vanguard with the contemptors?

Either way there's great units for competitive in there, good luck man.

I would personally drop DG for alpha legion with a slaanesh elixir prince instead. He's not quite as good as a plate prince, but the -1 to hit on the contemptors makes up for it.

I had contemplated alpha legion, but i find i move the dreads enough to justify DG, our tables tend to have lots of LoS blocking things that mobility matters.

Might be an idea down the road though! Thanks for the input man

All the new snipers are going to put a damper on the Nurgle characters. Could always use tzaangors instead of bloodletters

They're fairly safe from a lot of snipers being toughness 5, 5++, 5+++. All except the vindicare which is going to require some hiding and daisy chaining plaguebearers.
