Because I forgot that there's a local 2000-point tournament, the Lord and the Tallyman will have to wait two weeks to get properly finished - even though I'm half-way through them. I had been getting a pretty decent player on a competitive level in 7th, but 8th knocked the wind out of those sails. My regular hobby group of 30-somethings has been getting a lot more competitieve and they've infected me with the disease again. So even though I have no more than 12 games of 8th edition 40k under my wings since its release, I'm getting into a tournament - and ICT-training tournament. Golly.
Here's the list I've come up with:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Detachment 1 battalion (Chaos Daemons) 598 points
HQ : Spoilpox scrivener (75) plaguesword (0) distended maw (0) disgusting sneezes (0) 75
HQ : Daemonprince of Nurgle with wings (170) malefic talons (10) 180 WARLORD
TROOPS: 29 plague bearers (203) 1 plague ridden (7) plagueswords (0) instrument of chaos (10) daemonic icon (15) 235
TROOPS: 3 nurglings (54) teeth and claws (0) 54TROOPS: 3 nurglings (54) teeth and claws (0) 54
Detachment 2 battalion (Chaos Daemons) 530 points
HQ : poxbringer (70) Balesword (0) 70
HQ : Daemonprince of Nurgle with wings (170) malefic talons (10) 180
TROOPS : 20 plague bearers (140) 1 plague ridden (7) plagueswords (0) instrument of chaos (10) daemonic icon (15) 186
TROOPS : 3 nurglings (54) teeth and claws (0) 54
TROOPS : 3 nurglings (54) teeth and claws (0) 54
Detachment 3 Superheavy Detachment (Renegade Knights) 866 points
Renegade Knight (285) 2x Avenger Gatling Cannon (150) 2x Heavy Flamer (34) Heavy Stubber (4) Stormspear Rocket Pod (45) 518
Renegade Armiger Helverin (160) 2x Armiger autocannons (10) Heavy Stubber (4) 174
Renegade Armiger Helverin (160) 2x Armiger autocannons (10) Heavy Stubber (4) 174
That's 2000 points on the button, and no less than 16 CP (which I'll need with the CP-heavy Knights in there).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The problem is, that I don't even own half of this army yet.
I have the Princes, the scribe, 9 Nurgling bases, and 30 Plaguebearers painted, as well as the Knight build, but that still leaves me 22 Plaguebearers, 3 Nurgling bases, and two Armiger Helverins short. Luckily for me, this tournament does NOT require everything to be painted or even build completely, so long as it's clear what something is, which weapons it has, and it's of equal size. In addition, I already ordered three boxes of plaguebearers and they have arrived yesterday. The Helverins and the Nurglings will be bought tomorrow.
So the plan is to build the plague bearers and the nurglings and paint them in one fell swoop (they're mostly drybrushing and washing, so they can be done between anything), exactly like I did with the same amount of Plague Bearers and even more nurglings in ETL VI. With that, only the poxbringer and the Armigers need building. I've already reconciled the fact that I wont be playing with a completely painted army, despite my principles against such abhorrent practices. But at least I can make the army WYSIWYG. During the week, I'll make a dent in painting the Knight and building the Armigers (including cockpits and pilots), and I'l hopefully be able to start chaosifying them.
That leaves me with the poxbringer and of course, objectives. I've build those yesterday. Here's proof:
The poxbringer (build from the Lord of Plagues, a Plagueridden's head and plaguesword, and some sculpting).


Then, there's the objective markers for the army! As you can see, they're mostly build of banners and the same grim reaper-like thing I used on my Imperial Fists objective markers, only I have exchanged his hammer head with a scythe blade instead of an Imperial Relinquary.

There's also three objectives of lower height - they all use Lord of Skulls belly weapons as a base. I'm quite in love with the bathing Nurglings!

Anyway, I hope you like them and I appreciate your comments (and any gaming advice with this list...).
Cheers!

@ Pandoras Bitz Box: Yeah you mean the Chaos Lord of Nurgle in terminator armour? Of course I finished it! It was part o the ETL, no? And ETL vows are always finished. OH wait, no they're not. That's why we lost. By 343 points. It still hurts.
@ Viridia: Haha cheers! I love it!
@ Grizzly_bear: Thanks!
