I think RAW that's a thing.

As someone who faces off against a Command Barge/Overlord/Phase Shifter though, it would get into TFG territory.

I was simply hoping I could couple it with the av10 of the chariot to get a herald that's functionally T6 2+++ against shooting, you protect his Locus and spread it out more due to the huge base.

If you already have the 2++ rerollable the Av part doesn't matter

If you want do this tactic do it on a disc because much cheaper, you get to move farther and are easier to hide out of LoS

what about play a double bloodthirster at 1500pts with new Korne formation murder horde?

I would have to see a full list to really give a better answer but right now I would have to say not for 1500 points with the decurion. I feel the list would sit to heavy on one side of the spectrum and would get shot out quickly.

Now if you CAD it or use a more durable decurion maybe it would function decently

the list is very simple use the murder horde formation with 8x5 hounds herald on juggernaut, lesser reward exalted locus, and a D thirster with 2 greater reward, armor of scorn and a normal thirster with skullreaver and 2 greater and 1 lesser reward, simply overrun enemy during 2nd turn, i should try use belakor+LOC but then i will only have 6 CW i think bit too few, or 1 D thirster and a "small deathstar "with 5-6 bloodcrushers champion karanak and herald.

Id say try it out

Played against an Eldar chap today (he was really nice had a laugh) I honestly didn't know that warp spiders wound against initiative since I've never played against them before, It was hilarious since it meant my Keeper of Secrets was literally invincible since I managed to take out his Jet Bikes and Hornets on turn 2, and his D scythes whiffed on the turn I failed to cast invisibility.

If warp spiders are popular in the meta wouldn't this make the greater locus that makes Daemonettes, seekers and Fiends initiative 10 a decent meta call for mono slaanesh ?

Its still strength 6 so it wounds on 2s against daemonettes.

I had completely forgot that Nurglings can now throw those defensive grenades which are great for making some huge shooting targets (riptides?) shot at BS1 for a turn.

Tau suits are immune to blind!

No monofilament wounds on your initiative so initiative 10 models are immune.

Oh snap! : (

Nurgling grenades? What nurgling grenades?

Defensive Grenades (which all Demons of Nurgle come with) can now by thrown as a 'flashbang' in 7th Edition: S1, AP-, Assault 1, Blast, Blind.

Consider it a swarm of flies.....

The Armour of Scorn is a great buy for a Khorne Daemon Prince (as it's essentially the same price as Warp-Forged Armour and MUCH better).

The Doomsday Bell also seems awesome. Slaanesh/Nurgle has always been a nice combination - effective 'foxhole troops' that are hard to dig out, fast assault troops, and easy access to Telepath - a board-wide -1 Ld is very nasty with Psychic Shriek.

Pairing it with Be'Lakor is very nasty; you get the extra bonus of making it more likely to get the extra warp charge for people running away...

Don't you always, regardless of value, fail a characteristic test on a 6?

It's not a characteristic test, it's a To Wound roll made against your Initiative.

Point taken - Carry on
