The comparison;

Plague Bearer 15 pts
Beast of Nurgle 35 pts

Now in comparing stats, BON are basically two Plague Bearers (2 wounds, other stats same)...except the D6 attacks. However, if you roll a 2+ they are equal (if not better). So you pay 5 pts more than two PBs....to get two PBs with D6 attacks. On a 3+ it performs better than PB, which means 66% of the time it will be better in HTH. Obvious downside, it doesn't score.

So, reserve placement in an Epi list with potential to put out some serious hurt...or screw them take more scoring PBs. Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453122.page GMT Re:Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453125.page GMT Re:Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~)

Well my last sentence mentions it Good point to emphasize though, since 2/3 is all about scoring.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453126.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453126.page GMT Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/453353.page GMT Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) hth with something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454930.page GMT Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~)

Nope, they are S&P just like other Nurgle units. The only 'quick' unit in a mono-nurgle are Nurglings, simply due to them not having S&P...

I think beasts have a place in a mono-nurgle. The 5 pts you pay is worth having more attacks than 2 PBs on a 3+. Have them strike late with tally going...and that D6 will be pretty scary.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454951.page GMT Re:Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~)
They are more killy than plaguebearers even if only slightly... once you've got your comfortable number of scoring units, take these guys instead of PBs, since their potential output exceeds the PBs.

And yes, if epidemius is not in the list keep these guys in the figure case. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/454962.page GMT Re:Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) If you have 4 Plague Bearers, 2 nurglings and 3 Demon Princes....
then squeeze in a couple of pairs. (with an upgrade so you can spread wounds)

EDIT:
In regards to Killy. Breath of Chaos.
It's feared on Flamers. Don't forget Princes and Greater Demons have it as an option as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455065.page GMT Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) FNP canceling units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455073.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455073.page GMT Re:Ok, so I've got some demon experience under my belt...Beast of Nurgle...(here we go~) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223163/455076.page GMT
