1. Ive been runing my PMS in ten mans, generally 2-4 squads in 1500 to 1850 lists, I see people running more squads in grps of 7 and even 5, which is better really? and how does play change when you have more squads that are smaller?

2. Ive been running my PMS pretty much un-mechd, just trudging accross the field and shooting/ assaulting from cover

3. ive been playing my nurgle list waiting for the enemy to come to me, is this the general accepted method or should i be more aggressive,

4. i do well enough but against more experienced players i feel like they are very aggrssive and i do less well.. and drop pod armies screw with my head a bit lol any tips are welcome]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226418.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226418.page GMT general NURGLE questions CSMs and also since nurgles number is seven. I would also say being more aggressive with them would work better in terms of going for objectives and holding them. In order to do so they need to be in rhinos and what i have seen done is to tank shock your opponent off objectives then disembark.

One last thing running them in squads of ten is a very viable option to run these guys so dont worry about that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226445.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226445.page GMT Re:general NURGLE questions

so basically just jack objectives and then sit on them, counting on FNP and T5 to live it out...?


and in kill games just spread out and kill targets? run the whole force up the middle?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226602.page GMT general NURGLE questions

i also like to run my HQs as sorcerors with MON and ROT so i get a initiative 5 forceweapon OR a chaos lord with Daemon weapon ( same idea)

the main thought being that my HQ is protected by being connected PM squad and the High initiative of the Lord ( or Sorc) helps make up for my PMs swinging at Initiative 3

it means that i siwng first, and last in combat so my PMs arent having to make quite so many saving throws and FNP

1. You wanna keep squads smaller because, if they get assaulted, do you really wanna stay locked in? Also its cheaper, so you get points to throw elseware. and when you don't NEED more than 5 to get 2 special weapons its generally a better idea.

2. All marines are best in rhinos. Being able to get up into your opponents face is always good, especially squishier armies like IG. Also, your super susceptible to things like Battlecannons otherwise

3. I'm aggressive with all my armies typically, putting your foe on his heels is always a good way. keeping pressure on makes people make mistakes. Also, many armies can beat you in the range game lol

4. Drop pod armies (other than Space Wolves) shouldn't be much of a problem. Just wait for em to drop and shoot up the squad like you normally would. Drop pods really aren't an issue. And if its space wolves... you NEED to mech up at that point lol. Having your PM's get assaulted by a full grey hunter squad w/ wolfkin and 2 power weapons is never a good thing!

Hope that helps out]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226861.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226861.page GMT Re:general NURGLE questions PMS,

Four such units should suffice.

A squad of 5 is too small.At least, they must keep some ability to absorb some power weapon attacks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1226951.page GMT general NURGLE questions Otherwise, what Wuestenfux has said.

Rhino's are awesome and pairs of weapons are four times better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227592.page GMT general NURGLE questions

You should have 7 man squads and walk directly towards the enemy over open ground before destroying them utterly

I usually sit a 7 man PM squad in cover and/or on an objective. They are hard to shift and can mostly look after themselves without you having to worry too much about supporting them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227609.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227609.page GMT general NURGLE questions They are two different things.

In addition, fluff is what you make it.
Certainly there is a charm to 7 man squads, being fluffy and an economical number.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1227641.page GMT Re:general NURGLE questions

Nurgle is the god of decay. Death Guard are the remains of the SM legion which fell to the worship of Nurgle during the great war.

@Sanctjud - a good point. I just always associate the two as PM's are almost always described to be Death Guard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1228434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1228434.page GMT general NURGLE questions ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1228474.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/272311/1228474.page GMT general NURGLE questions Basically:

All Deathguard are plague marines.
All Plague marines are not Deathguard.

All Ultramarines are Space Marines.
All Space marines are not Ultramarines.

All Morale tests are leadership tests.
All Leadership tests are not morale tests.

See, like that.
