the GUO will have a grimoire to help buff the troops, the LOC will roll all his powers on divination to help buff himself and his troops

not sure whether or not to have the plagues DS or start on the board?

what should I do with the last 25 points and should i even run a LOC?

What does everyone think? Is this a strong enough list to compete at 1500?

I would get rid of the mastery levels on the heralds as they don't really do much as the nurgle powers aren't really too effective on a unit that slow, and the same applies to biomancy for them. You should probably swap the Loc for Fateweaver as he is just a bit more survivable and gives you the guaranteed warp storm re-roll (+ some decent psychic ability). I'd get rid of the icons on the plaugebearers unless you plan to deep strike the units, and if you're doing this, I'd go with instruments as well. Maybe give the portalglyph to one of the heralds. I'd also add a greater gift to the Guo. If you want to stick with the nurgle theme, you could cut one of the grinders and add a unit of plague drones, as they'd add some speed to the army. You might want an aegis defence line for your troops to hide behind but it probably isn't worth it. Another option instead of Fateweaver/Loc could be Be'lakor. Just a couple of thoughts, hope I've been helpful.

I agree with you about the mastery levels on the heralds, but I feel that LoC plays as more of an offensive HQ rather than a defensive one and an offensive list is the kind of list I want to play. I considered using plague drones but they are expensive for a unit that doesn't have any ap. Another question I had Ruar was whether or not I have enough killing power in the list? the plagues won't be killing much, probably holding objectives and acting as tar pits for enemy units which puts a lot of heavy lifting on the LOC GUO and the grinders, do you think they can handle the load?

Thanks for the advice, its appreciated

Your list is currently illegal. you have 3 HQs you got the lord of change, great unclean one, and the two heralds that take a single HQ slot. If you going for a nurgle theme, drop the lord of change and add a Nurgle daemon prince in for heavy support. If not go with what Ruarinator2, swap the loc with fatey.

Thanks for pointing that out HUEY, with that in mind I added a DP of nurgle to keep the nurgle theme going

i'm just wondering whether or not I should take the greater reward or the armor, since I can only afford one.
