Lord Eltor Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi all, playing nids, I feel limited with three slots free for grinders AND princes I want to know what you prefer to field: 3 Grinders 2 Grinders, 1 DP 1 Grinder, 2 DPs 3 DPs Fluffwise I'd prefer 1 Grinder and two princes for my nurgle army as three princes might get boring but grinders are so massive looking that one is nice to be the centerpiece of the army. Until now I played with 3 princed and no grinder and only two games so I'd like to know what you prefer!

Redbaron997 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well if you are playing Nurgle then you have access to the best DP, so I would say 3 DPs. For anyone else eithier 3 SG, or 2 SGs and 1 DP.

Captain Malachi Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Never take one soulgrinder, ever. Either 2 SGs and a prince, or 3 princes. 3 princes is probably the best for a nurgle army. In my 2000 point army I have 3 princes, but I also have 2 greater daemons to back them up, and some pretty killy troops.

==Me== Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm gonna go with Malachi on this one, Grinders work best in pairs while DPs are always good, especially Nurgle ones.

Kairos Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Meh, mine's been alright. Also, has anyone else noticed how silent Liber Malificorum has been? It's more dead than the corpse-emperor...

minigun762 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not playing Nurgle, I'd probably go with 3 Soul Grinders myself. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157506-sould-grinder-demon-prince-ratio/#findComment-1842847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Meh, mine's been alright.Also, has anyone else noticed how silent Liber Malificorum has been? It's more dead than the corpse-emperor... Yes! It was absolute torture with no interesting daemon stuff during my 7 day posting holiday.

Captain Malachi Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Also, has anyone else noticed how silent Liber Malificorum has been? It's more dead than the corpse-emperor... It's still been more popular than the "legion of excess" and "planet of sorcerers", probably more so than them combined to be honest.

==Me== Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That's probably because there's just like 5 of us :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157506-sould-grinder-demon-prince-ratio/#findComment-1843076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes, but we're a very active 5.......kinda. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157506-sould-grinder-demon-prince-ratio/#findComment-1843086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor1313 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 For me, I can get more value in the Soul Grinder. 135 for S10, fleet, and a flamethrower. What can a Daemon PRince do to compare to that? That aside, I'd still take 2-3 or zero soul grinders. It's the law of armor: take a lot, or none. A single target is just going to draw every last anti-tank weapon on the board until it explodes violently. I'd also take an MC or two to dilute that kind of firepower as well. As for Daemon Princes...if we want shooty anti-tank, I'd honestly look at Tzeentch Chariots w/ We Are Legion, Master of Sorcery, and Bolt of Tzeentch for about 110. If we want Pavane, we get a Slaaneshi one with Hide, Mark, and Pavane. Maybe Gaze. Nurgle gets us durability. 155 for Mark, Hide, Cloud of Flies and the Noxious Touch, and that all-important, small-arms-ignoring T6. Khorne is just a bit more killy, but if it's footslogging melee killy I think I'd take the Grinder and get Fleet. Overall, you gotta have at least 2-3 Monstrous Targets.

rackham19 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Right now I am running 2 SG's (Both with Phlegm) with a DP of Nurgle, Wings, Iron Hide and Noxious Touch. All told that is 530 of my standard 1700 point list. Since I painted the DP with some care and added Balrog wings on him, he really stands out and scares the crap out of people, thus he takes most of the lazcannons, etc. and leaves the grinders available to tear the hell out of the enemy....
