HQ will be a chaos lord on bike with MoN and black mase (145)

Troops are 2 units of 10 culitists to keep the points down. (100)

Fast attack will be 5 chaos bikers with MoN and a power axe/sword(170) and a heldrake with baleflamer (170)

Elites are 10 noise marines with 2 blastmasters and 8 sonic weapons. (261)

I am taking 2 obliterators of nurgle (152).


Questions are:

Is 5 bikers enough or should I take more/less given they are going to ride with the lord into combat. Does the lord have to issue the challenge or can my champ?

Is a nurgle lord the way to go or should I take a slaanesh lord to stick the noise marines in as troops?

Power axe or power sword for the biker lord or not?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481349.page GMT id take out the black mace, give him pf lc, and would take plague marines as troops instead of noise marines. the champ can issue the challenge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481384.page GMT 2) I'd prefer slaanesh lord ot make the slaaneshi marines troops because with two blastmasters they'd be a good backfield objective holder since 20 cultists aren't going to last long if they're shot/assaulted/stared at
But nurgle lord is alot tougher and can't be doubled out by a vindicator. It's a hard choice really, I find noise marines are only worthwhile if troops since they're expensive as hell.
3) I like the power axe because it gives him some AP2 weaponry, which is nice considering a power sword is just going to bounce off terminator armor
Also, sonic blasters aren't really needed since they're going to want to hang back pounding the hell out of whatever poor bastard that ends up below their blast markers, but it depends on what you're facing, if its space marines, I'd ditch the sonic blasters

If going Nurgle, go plague marines. Maybe 2 squads of 5 in rhinos with two specials. and drop the squad of noise marines to give points and one squad of cultists. I'm away from my book for the points costs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481387.page GMT
If you're going nurgle take plague marines, you need more scoring anyway.

Go power sword on anything that has 4 or higher init. If its 3 or lower, you're going to be attack last anyway most of the time so take the power axe.

5 bikers is enough.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481446.page GMT

So how is this for a change with dropping the black mace,

Lord has 2 lightning claws, good set up or is there better?

2 sets of 10 cultists

10 noise marines, 2 with blast masters for heavy support and 8 sonic blasters, gets people out of cover so I dont mind them multi tasking.

Nurgle bikers with their champ having a lightning claw and power fist, or should be have something else? They also have the icon of despair or should i leave that out and take a meltagun/plasma?

And 2 nurgle oblitorators to keep big things at bay

Also forgot the heldrake in the air]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6481574.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6485314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576379/6485314.page GMT
