WickedJester1013 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Greetings, How fare the glorious fatties? I love everything about that model and want to fit him into a 1500 point game. I was thinking of taking 2-3 buffed units a nurgle tree and several nurgling units. I was gonna take the hq heralds that buff the core troops. I feel like the greater daemon would scare the enemy and focus, while I have a lot of hidden buffs for the troops where they end up deal extra damage per swing and just never die. That is the idea at least. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trollbeard Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hail plague brother! They are both awesome models, huge guys! They will attract lots and lots and lots of firepower, your best bet will be to DS him with the denizens of the warp stratagem. He is very tough and with fleshy abundance and the revoltingly resilient stratagem you can keep him alive that much longer! The benefit of him taking all that fire is that, the rest of your units will be basically left alone and able to scurry up the board. Fitting him into a 1500 point list will be tricky, as e costs a hefty 325 points. I’ve had success DSing a big unit of plaguebearers along side him to put more pressure on the enemy lines. Hope this helps! I love the model and he was a Blast to paint! I should mention I’ve only played Rotigus. But they are similar enough in playstyle.

WickedJester1013 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 I was wondering how capable the plague bearers can be when you get all the buffs rolling in them, all 3 heralds warlord with the warlord with horn of nurgle a rot and maybe a nurgle tree. Cast the buffs and strats that up plague bearer damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I was wondering how capable the plague bearers can be when you get all the buffs rolling in them, all 3 heralds warlord with the warlord with horn of nurgle a rot and maybe a nurgle tree. Cast the buffs and strats that up plague bearer damage I can tell you they rock ! Last game against Emperors Children I had 2x30 and 1x10. I managed only 1 big blob to stay with all my herolds. That plus Epidemus made them M8 !!!, +1 advance and charge, S5 hitting on 3a, reroll hit 1, 6s generating extra attacks, reroll all wounds, extra dmg on 6s to wound, roll 2 dice for moral pick the lowest, bring back models on a moral roll of 1, T5 with a 5++ and a 5+++... these guys are amazing. To topic: In my games (not tournament level) the GUO did very well. If possible take Rotigus. I have not taken him yet because he is not painted, but for only 5 points extra you get so much more. Throw him down in front of the enemy together with 30 PBs. Have some Nurglings around, Drones and a Prince flying up and more PBs running up the field (Spoilpox + Instrument helps). Your opponent will not know what to kill first. For extra protection you can boost his Inv to a 4++ for a round. If you take Rotigus, dont make him your Warlord, he is a juicy enough target and his WLT is not the best. Same goes for Relics if you take a regular GUO. I tried the Horn twice, but it is hard to manage to get this fat bast*rd into CC with a bigger unit of PBs around. I always messed up my movement and stood in my own way. A Prince with wings has better chances to get where you need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trollbeard Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I can also vouch for the super buffed plaguebearers, I usually try to DS a tree midfield to continuously have the buffs on them, and they can move very quick and put out the hurt!

WickedJester1013 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 So far 1284 points, a brigand and a vanguard(elite?) detachment Maybe add a small plague bearer or another nurgling squad for the 6th troop to camp a point in the back, horticulus and the beasts in one detachment, aiming for a base 1500 point list, maybe swamp prince out with greater daemon as it feels right for the match up. If possible keep 70-100 point aside to summon a new herald it killed or a small unit to aid. Prince with wings will get corruption to hunt scary targets, and the poxbringer be the warlord or the horn of nurgle and hide in troops. I want to get stuck in with the buffs stated above and drop a tree or two down on the tarpits of melee + HQ + Daemon Prince of Chaos [9 PL, 180pts]: Hellforged sword, Horn of Nurgle's Rot, Nurgle, Pestilent Miasma, Warlord, Wings Horticulus Slimux [9 PL, 165pts] Poxbringer [4 PL, 70pts] Sloppity Bilepiper [3 PL, 60pts] Spoilpox Scrivener [4 PL, 75pts] + Troops + Nurglings [3 PL, 54pts]: 3x Nurgling Swarms Nurglings [3 PL, 54pts]: 3x Nurgling Swarms Nurglings [3 PL, 54pts]: 3x Nurgling Swarms Plaguebearers [12 PL, 235pts]: Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos, 29x Plaguebearer, Plagueridden Plaguebearers [12 PL, 235pts]: Daemonic Icon, Instrument of Chaos, 29x Plaguebearer, Plagueridden + Elites + Beasts of Nurgle [2 PL, 34pts]: Beast of Nurgle Beasts of Nurgle [2 PL, 34pts]: Beast of Nurgle Beasts of Nurgle [2 PL, 34pts]: Beast of Nurgle ++ Total: [68 PL, 1284pts] ++ Created with BattleScribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trollbeard Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Looks like a decent list! I would DS a squad of plaguebearers into support your fast moving DP so that he can’t be targeted, because he will move much quicker then the rest of your force. I really like the virulent blessing power for him because it gives him the potential to do massive damage!! Do you have any games coming up soon? If so let us know how they go!

bozo69pd Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Buffed plaguebearers are probably the best horde blob in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
