How do you beat maggotkin as death? The problem I’ve found is that I can’t snipe buff characters, and my opponent makes a blob of 10 or more blight kings into super killy death machines that evaporate my skeletons or any other units I run. I find I can’t put DPS his front, those trees make his mobility insane, and I can’t just kill his heroes because they’re tough and swimming in FNPs. I can’t out DPS his front, he runs circles around me, and my healing is useless if my skeletons evaporate and I lose a 40 man blob after one round of cc, or I lose all my hexwraiths, or any other unit after one round of CC.

What do I do?

Without seeing your list its really hard to say.

Nurgle armies are resiliant... but they don't put out a lot of damage themselves. At least mine never do. Blight Kings are a great unit against low saves, which if you are undead they can chew through your zombies and skeletons pretty well.

Against high saves though they struggle.

Mortal wound spam usually always owns me if I have to go against it, because 5+ saves aren't really something to depend on.

I’m usually rocking 100 skeletons in 2 units of ten, and 2 units of fourty, 20 hex wraiths in units of ten, a zombie dragon vamp lord, 2-3 necromancers, Mortis engines, and maybe some other stuff. I usually run grand host of Nagash.

Mortal wpund spam is a bit hard, the army can’t really mass produce em’ unless your low LD, I find.

You're about to get free summoning up the wazoo with the next edition in a couple weeks. That alone will help tip the scales for you.

Nurgle can also summon but no where near as much as death, which will be able to recycle dead units.
