Heldrake- Baleflamer 170pts

I would like some opinions on this and what your thoughts are on how it would play against Tourney armies today


Questions are...why would chaos spawn be so much better than bikers?

Better to have cultists to hold your own objectiives or sacrifice them for more plague marines...why?

is there a better loadout for a nurgle lord and why?

and does anyone have a real proven tactic to take out a Tau gunline? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6427596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6427596.page GMT CSM tourney army....need input

Because if they got shot at or slashed at with ap3 weapons they dont melt like butter. The bikers have the jink save so that helps while they're moving but...
Also spawn are scarier in close combat, and are beasts, so they can move through cover no problem while bikers treat ever bump in the road as a bullet to the face.

cultists are great for that backfield objective. a 50 point squad of 10 is not a bad idea at all. Other than that, you will want either zombies or plague marines because plague marines kick ass! Lots of cultists doesnt usually work great, but i've seen them do incredible things. I wouldn't take more than 2 squads for no other reason than because i've seen squads of them take out 200 or 300 point marine HQs/Squads with just mass of fire.

Thats a fine loadout, but you could also take a PF/LC combo, or a black mace/murder sword combo.

I do not. Never played Tau, much less with a nurgle army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6427693.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6427693.page GMT Re:CSM tourney army....need input IG but better]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6428453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572863/6428453.page GMT CSM tourney army....need input
