Thats true you need some fast moving units...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112152.page GMT Nurgle Daemons He is pretty much impossible to kill, and has a great ranged attack, aswell as the usual strengths in combat that all GD's have.

I'd drop all 3 plague units down to 10.
Add in a single unit of 5 nurgling bases (never underestimate them lol)

Also, try a small unit of 3-5 beasts of nurgle.
They are great for thier points cost.
They can deal with anything other than tanks, they refuse to die, and just generally hold up your opponant all game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112171.page GMT Re:Nurgle Daemons ID and have a 5+ invuln....

if I take out the line before it, this quote sounds like you're talking about plaguebearers

In reality, a beast of nurgle is very, very similar to 2 plaguebearers on 1 base that don't score. Lets compare 2 Plaguebearers to 1 Beasts of Nurgle:

The only things that aren't exactly the same for these two are;
Cost, number of attacks, size, scoring

Cost: A beast of nurgle costs 5 more points than 2 plaguebearers.
number of attacks: a beast gets d6 (avg 3.5), or d6+1 (avg. 4.5) on the charge. 2 plaguebearers get 2, or 4 on the charge. Fairly significant edge to the beast in subsequent rounds, though the random attacks can be problematic.
size: 2 plaguebearers take up more space, and are twice as vulnerable to blasts/flamers. Another fairly significant difference in favour of the beasts (we all know how much those demolishers/vindicators hurt)
scoring: plaguebearers score. 'nuff said. I think this is huge, one of the best things about a Tallyman list is how your army is often 50%+ troops.

As you can see, it's fairly even. I prefer plaguebearers personally, but there's nothing wrong with beasts in this scenario.

this is important. Wings, maybe not so much, but I find 3 demon princes with daemonic gaze (and BS5) can get that tally up right quick. If they can catch something out of cover, even marines, you're going to see each one put 2 points on the tally pretty reliably every turn. I find 3 princes in my preferred wave can usually get my tally to that delicious 10 just in time for turn 2 assaults. You can save 30 points by not buying them noxious touch, as they should be shooting you to 10 by the time they can charge anyone anyway. But that's just me; YMMV.

Except one scout squad can kill kugath.. one necron lord... hhmm doesn't seem that impossible.. I have two right within the first 5 seconds of trying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112250.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112250.page GMT Nurgle Daemons DPs, your list will loose to 2 dreadnoughts and a marine squad that can hold up your DP (TH/SS anyone)

But really the thing i have found with Daemons is that you can massacre infantry based lists with light tanks, but against a Mech force that doesn't have to come out of its tanks you are going to be in big trouble. Dreads, Defilers, Kans will all laugh at your attacks (except DPs) and will slowly grind away at your army.

Now onto what i would do, drop some plaguebearers and grab a DP or two. plaguebearers can be effective even in small squad sizes because they don't die.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265399/1112271.page GMT Nurgle Daemons
