<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Nurglings"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Nurglings
On pg. 42 of the Chaos Daemons Codex it says that "Nurglings can carry a Palanquin of Nurgle (as described under Daemonic Steeds on pg. 76)". But pg. 76 never makes any reference to Nurglings carrying Palanquins. Is this just a piece of fluff information about the Nurglings, or is there some deeper meaning to it?

And another thing. Is it possible to buy 9 bases for [insert very low point cost] for a total of 27 wounds in 1 unit? Or are there different rules when buying a "Swarm" unit? Couldn't really find anything, but seems odd that they have so many wounds pr. base...

How does the model look? Single Nurgling, or a lot crammed together to get the swarm look? 'Cause if it's single Nurglings I'll probably give magnetizing them a go

EDIT:
Added another question...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1089890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1089890.page GMT Nurglings

It's fluff information.

Yes, but remember that they are only T3, so Instant Death ~~affects them a lot~~ Would effect them, but they have Eternal Warrior, which I forgot because I am a dolt

, and that because they are swarms they have the Vulnerable to Blasts/Templates USR, so they take a lot more wounds than regular models.

It's a Single 40mm Base with lots of nurglings on it IIRC. Been a while since I last saw one though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1090038.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1090038.page GMT Nurglings http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1090055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1090055.page GMT Nurglings
They are cheap per base, meaning you can have a high wound unit, just avoid blasts as much as possible.

per base people generally tend to take 5, however, i prefer to take 6 or so, with a few scratch built ones with them, packed bases of nurglings look great

Planned on magnetizing 6 to the base, and each wound would remove 2 of them

but probably way too much work now that I suddenly need a lot of Nurgling bases

usually i run 7-9 nurglings bases & attach them to Epidemius.

in turn giving Epidemius an extra 21-27 wounds, get the tally rolling.and those little buggers will cause all kinda problems.

w/ 20+ kills by FoN, those nurglings are wounding on 2's & ignoring armor saves.throwing out 3 base attacks per nurgling base.

What a fantastic idea, I am stealing that.

Does it work well? A nurgle army is so slow... can you still manage to get into assault against shooty armies?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1093007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1093007.page GMT Nurglings

Shouldn't be a lot of work at all, since you only need to magnetize one nurgling base in any given squad. Since it's a unit of multi-wound models, wounds on the unit always add up to kill a base; you never have more than one wounded base in a given unit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1094418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1094418.page GMT Nurglings

Rule fail on my part there. Thanks for saving me

I'm SO stealing this idea, and I would suggest Lt. Lathrop do the same

Cheers

I usually park Epidemius & the nurglings in the back of my army.If its the "bases" type mission.I sit him on my "base" & send the entire @ my opponent's "base".

trying to keep him alive, w/o him my nurgle daemons take a big hit.bye bye tally !

This tactic has worked well for me , i get the tally rolling, & if my opponent does manage to close the gap w/ Epidemius & the nurglings.

I've had the lil' o nurglings go crazy w/ 4 power weapon attacks ( on the charge ! ) per base.

That wound on a roll of 2+ ! regardless of toughness !]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1098600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1098600.page GMT Nurglings http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1098646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1098646.page GMT Nurglings
I however do not use Nurglings, and instead take a full unit of Beasts of Nurgle for Epi's bodyguard. They work out Really well for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1099316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263911/1099316.page GMT
