Hello, this list is geared towards tournaments, and any advice are welcome. My secondaries are 'investigate sites', 'engage all fronts' and 'psychic ritual'. I'm thinking that nurgle daemons are in a good position for holding objectives and board control, and with right buffs can even deal damage in close combat.

Nurgle daemons battalion
-hq- great unclean one (bell and bileblade) 270 {warlord: impenetrable hide, exalted: revoltingly resilient, bloated corruption, relic: tome of thousand poxes, powers: fleshy abdundance, miasma of pestilence, virulent blessing}
-hq- poxbringer 75 {power: shrivelling pox}
-hq- spoilpox scrivener 100
-troop- nurglings (3) 54
-troop- nurglings (3) 54
-troop- nurglings (3) 54
-troop- plaguebearers (30, icon, Instrument) 295 {plaguebanner}
-troop- plaguebearers (30, icon, Instrument) 295 {plaguebanner}
-troop- plaguebearers (30, icon, Instrument) 295 {plaguebanner}
-elite- beast of nurgle 35
-elite- beast of nurgle 35
-fast- plaguedrones (3, icon, Instrument) 145
-fast- plaguedrones (3, icon, Instrument) 145
-fast- plaguedrones (3, icon, Instrument) 145

Total 1997/12cp (-2 for exalted, -3 for banners)

Tactics; nurglings, beasts and plaguedrones are grabbing objectives and table quarters, while characters and plaguebearers are fighting for the center of board (poxbringer performs the ritual, and one unit of plaguebearers investigate sites)

Cp allocation
-2 for exalted Guo
-3 for plaguebanner
-10 for locus of fecundity (5 turns)
-2 for warp surge (reserved)

So, leave a comment, how viable is this list for tournaments and is there anything to change? And what load-out for great unclean one would you take?

I would take the great unclean out. He isn't really worth it atm and is overcosted

Some suggestions.

You'll lose some CP but consider a patrol for some HQ slots. A sloppity bilepiper is really key for this kind of list.

I'd also switch up and combine some units. Both nurglings and drones work great in units of 5. It prevents blasts for one but for nurglings it allows them to get good milage out of the return strategem from engine war.

I don't mind the GUO in a list like this. He's not the best but if you deepstrike him midfield he can be a pain to remove.

Probably news to no one but you won't be killing much so prepare just to get to objectives and sit. It may be one dimensional but it can win games.
