I have had limited experience at Fantasy, however I have been playing a alrge number of games recently and have entered in 3 tournaments already over the next 2 months. here is the list I am planning on running for a couple of them.

I really do need any critique available & a rough range on my composition score.. is the army too tough / just right?

Mark of Nurgle
Soporific Musk
Halberd
Shield

5 x Chaos Knights
Mark of Nurgle
Musician, Standard

2 x Chaos Spawn
110pts

Total: 2250pts

I am considering dropping the smaller unit of warriors in favour for a couple more spawn & Black tongue. Although these guys are a decent flank protecter & can house a sorcerer quite well.

List has done well, this particular one has got 2 wins from 2 games Against a Very competitive dark Elf army utilizing a hydra, 2 bolt throwers, black guard & 8 lvl's of magic with a stabbing PD bility :p .The other game was against a Magic heavy/Black orc heavy O&G list, able to put out upwards of 14PD a turn if in combat.

So I am reasonably happy with those performances.

I take it you like to spam buboes? hehehe. I'd probably do what you whr thinking and take two more spawn and the black tonuge, use the spawn to funnel them into your anvil then double whammy them with the two units of knights.

looks pretty good to me! good luck in your tournies!

Naw, you don't need any more spawns.

Comp-wise I think you're fine. You got a ton of core and not at the maximum for special or rare. Maybe 3 nurgle sorcerers some people might not like since buboes is such a nasty spell.

Looks good overall. I could give you some tweaks, but I realized its just making your army more to my playing style rather than making it any more competitive.

One thing I would advice, specially since you have only LD8, is to get a bunch of slaanesh marks on your units, especially your marauder horsemen; if you're not going for the khorne/flail combo, you have to make them slaanesh. Its too cheap not too.

Hey,

Comments have been great so far thanks.

I am actually toying with your own idea Hurtinator, adding the Glaive to the exalted champ, so that i can use that marauder unit to a bit more effect :p

Marks I am umming and ahhing over.. I would love to optimise the marks.. excpet I think this would detract from 1. Theme and 2. My comp score would get worse, as I am purposely optimising the list detrimentally to the theme... I am in Australia afterall & we have pretty strict Comp :p

The list has been excellent in it's first two games, with solid victories both times, against a couple mates.

Spamming Bubboes is excellent.. even if I get 1 wound off a char, and everything else was dispelled or scrolled it helps out when my charcters start having to challenge these suckkers in CC I love the spell.

I have moved fro an all tzeentch list which was getting comp hit wuite hard, to a Nurgle list, which is actually doing better and is better on comp, however this nurgle magic is performing far far better then 10PD ever got me in tzeentch's lore.. Damn you Infernal gateway and everyone being so scared of you!

Would you both say the list is optimised to the point where if I went further it may start effecting comp scores too much?


Thanks, Dan.

well, glaive fits in with a nurgle theme very well, do you have to hand in a fluff summary with your army list for the competition or something? cause honestly, if they are marking you down for useing what they intend our army to do in the first place "mix and match marks" then doesn't seem very fair to be honest. I'd have a word with the judge on this one.

Oh no, But many tournaments have a composition score.

It is seen as a concession to take a list that does not utilize all the best marks for certain units, so this would be my comp concession, well one of them anyway, it also makes it themey and I feel a bit better playing the list :p

I don't think the list fails too badly without it though.. However I am 100% with you that Marauders with ItP is wonderful.

(I may yet slip it in there!)

I really have to agree with what Pinkus and Hurtinator are sayen, the way the codex is designed is to mix and match marks on diffrent units, I always roll with the nurgle/slan mixen with "corrupt the body/corrupt the soul" arguments, but ive never had an issue at tournies that would take somthing like a few marks that seriously.

Well the MoS is good on the big maurader squad, and if ya had points I would put it on the horsemen too (since your not MoKing them). And on your warriors I would swap the MoN onto the 10 man squad, or at least make both sqauads a little more even and MoN/MoS them both. If i saw those 2 groups my goal would be to shoot the crud outta the 10 4+save GW carriers, rather than teh 3+ sword and boards.
