Hello Dakka! Next week, I am going to be playing in a small tournament running 500 points. The last one I played at my FLGS was 1000, and it ended poorly, mostly due to me not knowing how specialized Daemons can be, and I am also a very new player, and I am looking for input for the list I put together.

HQ- 85
Nurgle Herald, Greater Locus of Fecundity, Psyker Mastery level 1
Troops-180
Nurglings (x3)
Plaguebearers (x15)
Heavy Support-180
Soul Grinder, Nurgle, Phlegm Bombardment
Elites-52
Beast of Nurgle
TOTAL: 497

Generally speaking I tried to cram as many heavy hitters into the list as possible, one list even having two soul grinders, but that felt too nasty to take to the store. Between a soul grinder, Greater Unclean One, and Nurgle Prince, I choose the soul grinder because it has range and also is very nasty. The only problem is how fragile that dude is sometimes, but I think he can handle whatever as long as he keeps his butt hidden. Mostly I am afraid of hit and run units, so like all bikes ever are terrifying, because only the soul grinder can deal with them. This list feels like a big ol glass cannon, and whereas I sort of like that sort of army, it would be nice to see if there are any obvious holes in the list? Something that I would like to do is keep the list mono Nurgle still, as I do not have any other daemon models. What nasty things from other armies will be crammed into a 500 point list that I should look out for? Any help at all is very much appreciated!
