Got this list idea after listening and reading about a couple cool Daemon Heavy (my one true 40k love) lists that appeared on Goonhammer and the Art of War podcast. The research I did inspired me to want to hybridize TJ Lannigans Magnus and Big Bird list with the Big Bird and Beasts of Nurgle lists that have seen some tournament success. To that end I kitted out a DP to be “Mini Mags” with +2 to cast and good targeted and splash MW output. The idea being that it hangs out amongst the horrors and beasts with character protection, moves + advances ahead of the lines to cast all his powers (probably spending 1 CP often to cast three), and then gets warptimed back into the pocket of horrors/ beasts. Until it’s time for the DP to go punch an opportune target anyway. Big bird and Ahriman contribute to the MW output with smites and targeted MW powers, beasts take midfield with herald support and the horrors do their best to clear screens, tarpit, hold objectives and generally be annoying with some points left over for splitting. One unit of bloodletters to drop in and flip an objective or kill something that is extra threatening to the beasts and Big Bird. Nurglings gonna Nurgling. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for looking and please drop the feedback of you’ve got any!!!!

There is really cool stratagem in TS that gives you +2 to cast first spell if you have 2 other TS sorcerers nearby, you need to add one of them to abuse big bonus to cast and fish for that +12 gateway, everything else seems on point

Yeah I’ve been thinking about that. I was debating on dropping a beast and and swapping the cultists for a min size unit of rubrics for the purpose. Problem being that a smart player will just focus fire the rubrics. Adding another sorcerer would be nice but it would require a lot of restructuring to make turn the TSons patrol into a battalion. Oh sh!t wait. Shaman. I can add a shaman. Oh hell yes. Gonna rework it now
