Re: Deamons of Chaos Review
Playing Nurgle my greatest disappointment is that I now have no cavalry, no chariot and the book suggests I round out my list with other daemons! I'm glad I didn't buy those $100+ kits that GW was selling when the last daemonic legion was out for the cav models. I fooled around with a few different list and the army seems underpowered. I can tweak the character points to make magic stronger, but then I'm at 900 pts for 2 characters (and the herald with lvl 1 magic, palanquin, staff, and battle standard is a 290 pt character with 2 wounds (ouch). Played more vanilla I put out a list with:
Name Number pts Musician Banner items pts items total
Plaugebearers 17 12 6 12 222
Plaugebearers 17 12 6 12 222
Plaugebearers 21 12 6 12 270
Plaugebearers 21 12 6 12 270
Plaugebearers 21 12 6 12 270
GUO 1 450 lvl 3 wiz, slime, mucus 120 570
herald 1 115 palanaquin, banner 75 190
furies 7 12 84
nurglings 4 35 140
This gives the army 5 cast, 4 dispel and . . . lots of vanilla infantry at ws3 and no cloud of flies are not the invincible plaguebearers of yesteryear. The army lacks the real greater demon smack as well. At 4 attacks the GUO will lose combats by 2-3 almost inevitably. I'll have to fool around with some other lists, but it looks like I need to paint almost 40 more bearers before I do. I can always use my cav or chariot for a diorama I suppose.
