After playing with Sanguinary Priests my love of FNP has grown exponentially. Then I thought "why not have FNP and an acting toughness of 5" So, I cracked open my Chaos Codex and made myself a list. The Lascannon Preds blast vehicles. The Dread and Dakka Pred blast infantry formations. And, the Plague Marines do what they do best, irritate the enemy The Lash Prince A.K.A the Fat, pustular, Nurgle Prince with the Tentacles of Nurgle controls enemy movement and slams vehicles or infantry when necessary.

It's pretty basic, but I was looking for the thoughts of Plague Veterans. Any words of wisdom are welcome. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1507801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1507801.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D
It's just a better model, a big plague crab that gives you incredible range. I personally just don't like using a chaos dreadnought since they rampage on you 1/6, which is probably at least once.

Here's a really awesome idea as well Drop one of your plasma marine squads, for a CSM x 10 squad w Icon of Chaos Glory (you can kit them all learning towards nurgle since you'll have nurgle pieces everywhere) And with the extra points you save, get lesser daemons!! You now get to field more awesome little plague daemons that can hold back objectives for you.

I like the pred gun line. I know having FNP on all of your troops is awesome, but getting a little more troops and flexibility is cool too.

Just my thoughts ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1507821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1507821.page GMT Re:1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508399.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D .

Plague marines, 8 is no a fluffy number.

Dread: nice addition with respect to the amount of armor you have at 1500.

Preds are ok.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508839.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508895.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D
It's the best number there is. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508911.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D

7.

Since you have no blast weapons there isnt any point having a lash prince over a warptime prince. Lash is fantactic when you can stack blast markers on your opponent, but only ok otherwise. Nurgle princes with warp time are awsome killing machines for their points.

Your dread cant have two heavy flamers. Remember that it has exactly the same chance of standing still and dribbling that it has of running towards the nearest enemy. It really dont rate them at all.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508933.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D
If you make those reductions you have enough to get a minimum sized unit of Lesser Daemons, and a pair of Personal Icons for your troops. That way you can leave some Daemons sitting at home while your marines go out spreading around their favorite plague.

Another option would be to use the points to upgrade one of your Preds to a Defiler for templatey goodness.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1508976.page GMT Re:1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D PM's down to 7 each. This gives you 72 extra points (with the 3 extra you already had). Change one plasma squad to melta (which gives you 10 more points). Now you have 82 free points

Turn the Dakka Pred into a Vindicator with Possession.

This leaves 37 points. Change your DP to Nurgle/Wings/Warptime.

This leaves 17 points. Extra armor on a Predator? Havoc Missile Launcher? Plasma Cannon on the Dread?

This is what I would do. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1509051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1509051.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D Thank you. I thought that you could upgrade any TL-bolter to a H Flamer. He's got two dreanought CC weapons thus he also has two TL-bolters. I'll recheck when I get home. 7 is the number of Nurgly Goodness, then I shall have to reform ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1509074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1509074.page GMT 1500/Plague Marines/Competitive and Themed. . .Obviously :D CSM w/ weapons + rhino and Power fist is about 75 points cheaper than the plague marines. That's enough to upgrade a dread to a defiler if you wanted. Or get Lesser Daemons to "sit home" while the marines spread the plague! Whoever said that I liked the imagery ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1510118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290710/1510118.page GMT
