it looks kinda like my mech list for my nurgle force but i use more havoc squads and one big unit of plague bearers(14) in size, it works great if you give all your Acs and vehilces nurgle rot and get them close to each other you will be rolling lots of dice and taking out a few models due to rot(heheheh)
good luck

I decided I didn't like the 2nd HQ or the Plaguebearers and I'm one rhino away from a truly effective rhino rush in my opinion. Therefore, I modified the list like so.

Daemon Prince- stature, speed, MoN, strength, manreaper, frags, armor, aura, furious charge 186

2x7 Plague Marines- 2 meltas, asp champ w/pfist, bp
2xFactory Rhinos

2x7 Plague Marines- 2 plasma, tankhunter, asp champ w/pfist, bp
1x7 Plague Marines- 2 plasma, asp champ w/pfist, bp
3xFactory Rhinos

2x Predator Destructor- hb sponsons, searchlights
1x7 Havoc Plague Marines- 3 plasma, tankhunter, asp champ w/pfist, bp
1xFactory Rhino

This way, I lost a scoring unit but I think I gained in overall tank hunting power (I'm worried abou those falcons and hammerheads and I want a good chance at hurtin' them. What sort of lists do you see this army having trouble against? I think it has the plasma and pfists to take Godzilla, the speed to hit IG, The resilience to take on hordes, pfists and plasma galore to take deepstriking/dpoding armies.

My biggest problem is probably going to be mechanized Eldar that can stay 24"+ inches away from me. In that case, I'm hoping for first turn so I can drive forward and establish myself in the center of the board making it difficult for the skimmers to avoid me.

Tell me what you think.

Do your rhino mounted havocs take up a FA choice?

On another note, 4th ed was created to nerf the rhino rush. You have yet to prove to me that anything other than sisters can be mounted in rhinos and do well. Any decent shooty list and most dedicated assault lists will tear this apart.

cheers

I know the rhino rush is pretty much dead... the general consensus is that the Havocs stay on the HS slot because of (somewhat unclear) wording in the Book of Nurgle. I just thinks it's a shame that the only "GT worthy" armies out there seem to be Mech or Ulthwe Eldar; Drop Pod, Lysander, or SAFH Marines; Infiltrating, Biker, or Siren Daemonbomb; or Iron warriors.

I've been looking for something... ANYTHING.. that's unique, yet somewhat competitive.

Gah. You don't have to play those armies to be competative. You may need to have an answer for them in some form or another but even with no comp I doubt everyone in the tournament will be using those type of lists.

Best General at 05 baltimore was won by a mounted DG force (Lord w/ manreaper and other goodies, GUO, 3x PBs, 3x DG squads in rhinos: 2AC w/ fists, 1 AC as host, 2 preds and 1 defiler). Of course that was a comp environment...

No nurgle's rot? It seems like a mvp thing to do with your FA rhinos. Its so nasty against swarms. Allows you to take anti-marine/anti-vehicle firepower elsewhere.
