Group of 12 keeps Epi company while DPs and Beasts do their job on troops to stack up tallys. Only problem I can see is lack of anti-tank .. and quite a large one at that. Comments plx? ;P]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550799.page GMT Plow the points into more PBs and wings for some (all if you want) DPs. DPs with wings are AT.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550991.page GMT hth. Also why are you paying for all the noxious touch upgrades?, eventually you should get them for free from Epidemius.

If you want anti-tank in the list, you either have to rely on close combat with monstrous creatures or put in some non-nurgle units or soul grinders.

I'm not a big fan of Ku'gath and Epidemius. I think you can make a perfectly nasty nurgle army without either.

If you are going to use the DP's to pop tank's pay the extra points for wings and iron hide, that will give them a decent chance of making it to the tank.

I would suggest dropping one of the beasts unit's and giving all the dp's wings or at least 2 of them and drop all of your noxious touche's, and that might give you enough points to iron hide all the daemon princes.

Try Ku'Gath but I think the normal GUO is a steal for half the price. With the difference between the two you could add another herald on a palaquin with breath of chaos to try to rack up some early kills.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/550993.page GMT
Beasts - 2 wounds, FNP, Poisned attacks, D6 attacks

Nurglings - 3 wounds, Improved cover, 3 attacks, almost 1/3 the cost.

Also remember that a PB is essentially 1/2 of a beast at a reduced cost, but can claim objectives.

Once you hit the 10 tally nurglings become insane. Nothing like charging a unit of marines and doing `20 wounds with a 117 pnt squad.

Beasts are very expensive to buy aswell. Your looking at about 450 for just the beasts and they are a pain to assemble. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551093.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551093.page GMT
clay, that is true with the profiles, but beasts take alot more work to get rid of.

your picking out the better stats there

beasts have: +1 WS, +1 S, +2 T, they also have FNP, and swarms take more damage from blast / flame ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551099.page GMT
But I disagree that Beasts take longer to get rid off than Nurglings. Improved cover saves give them a 3+ in most situations and a for a little under the price of one unit of beasts gives you 2 9 man units at 54 wounds compared to 14.

The +1 WS doesnt matter as your not IC or elite hunting with Nurglings your trying to take down masses. To further that someone would have to be off thier rocker to hit a unit of nurglings with an IC (I say IC because they are the majority of WS 5).

+1 str should be negated fairly quick in his list due to the tally. Rerolls are overkill at that point.

FNP and +1 wound are pretty even in the current format. The beasts will recieve alot of high ap/str weapons attention. To a nurgling this doesnt matter.

If you go model by model yes beasts are harder to get rid of. If you look at it point for point a nurgling is the better buy for the epidemus list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551200.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/229348/551575.page GMT
