Created with BattleScribe

So post my ITC (as seen in Battle Reps), I've changed up my list. Here are my thoughts:

* Foul Blightspawns are incredible death machines. I added a third one, beyond a doubt, these dudes are gold and serve many purposes (anti-horde with the Deathshead, anti-tank flamers, anti-charge... so good)
* PBC's, in my experience, beat out Drones due to durability. Because of this, I added in a tree to circumvent their only weakness, which lies in getting charged. Also, the trees serve multiple purposes; like slingshotting the PB's, covering my army if I feel I'm getting second, dishing out MW's to models that get close to objectives, and more.
* Added Epidemus to the DG Battalion. I lose the legion traits, but thats fine; inexorable advance doesn't do my army any good, and ob secured is the same regardless of the army. Epidemus is awesome.
* Soaked up all my leftovers with some Cultists. I would LOVE to turn my army into a dual Nurgle Demons battalion, but I need to purchase more nurglings/PB's.
* Maxed the PB's again and re-added the Scrivener. I also added blessing to the Nurgle prince; that spell is SUPER powerful, especially against knights. Any 6's that the DP rolls with blessing on have the potential of doing up to 7 damage a piece.... Or cast it on a Talon prince for up to 5 damage a swing (with locus). Pretty crazy!
* I huffed and puffed about adding a Chaos Lord with arch contaminator, and swapping my Poxbringer for a second DP (which would make 2 Nurgle Demon princes, and 1 DG prince). I can still make that swap, cutting a couple cultists, but the ultimate deciding factor was having the possibility of making the PBC's str 8 flamers, or making the PB's str 5 so they can wound Knights or heavy targets on a 4+ with blessing. Also Abundance is great at keeping a wounded prince or PBC in the fight a bit longer. If I did swap around, I'd take Shriveling Pox on the prince to do basically the same thing, the only issue being once the prince dies my T8 hurting power diminishes.

Any C&C is welcome, please realize I don't have every model ever, so make suggestions that wouldn't require tossing down $300 Trust me, I would LOVE to run dual units of PB's and just cut Death Guard in general and run a Nurgle battalion, but meh....

how do you think ur match up with Ik's or De will be, i could try something like this in near future, list is solid , im planning to play both drones (3) and pbc (2)

You can't run Epidemius with DG, sorry. "Chaos" is no longer a keywork that can be the only one in common in a detachment, so no Daemons in Heretic Astartes detachments. You can run it in the Daemons battalion if you drop another HQ

Honestly, just make the DG a spearhead and go deeper in plaguebearers. You could also make it a <nurgle> battallion, and just lose the cultists and shift your nurglings there.

The gnarlmaw is cool though, allowing your pbcs to fall back and flame is huuuuge.

Right, I didn't consider that... sorry

Nurgle is my keyword

Dark eldar im not too worried about, ravagers struggle more against demons because we have all invuns and a way to minimize their damage. Venoms are a biy scary to pbs, but is what it is. IK i worry about because it will take a turn to get to them. will just have to test it against both!

Testing this list in another couple weeks against an Imperial Fists gunline using ITC format. Should be a good test, while not the most competitive force, hes got a LOT of lascannons; which PBC's hate.
