newach Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My regular opponent runs a nurglely list (Purge). It normally includes a Daemon Prince of Nurgle and a CAL of Plauge Marines and a Obliterator or three. I have only destroied the Prince once with a Vindi, Plasma Cannon, volley of Vengence Round combo, Anyone have any good anti-nurgle tatics?

Aidoneus Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 TH/SS terminators will destroy anything in his army in close combat. They'd be particularly useful against his big, nasty DP. Against plague marines, you'll need either S8 weapons (preferably AP3 or better) or AP1-2 weapons in droves. Missile launchers, lascannons, plasma guns/cannons, and vindicators all work well here. The trick is to deny him his FNP saves. Another good route is anything with lots of power weapon attacks in close combat, like a command squad or terminators. Oblits are just 2-wound terminators. A couple lascannon shots, or a squad's worth of small arms fire, should take them down without too much trouble. It's a tough list, to be sure, but it's far from unbeatable. If he relies on transports (I assume he does), give them a very high priority, and then work on attacking a flank, so that your whole army can focus-fire on 1-2 of his units at a time.

Aidoneus Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Then kill that, and enjoy the rest of the game shooting plasma/kraks/mm/las/vindicator at him from outside of assault range. That, plus the TH/SS termies to take down the DP (and then probably move on to munch on a plague marine squad), and you should be set. Really, footslogging armies are kinda sadly easy to dismantle at range.

Giga Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Newach, plasma cannons on tac squads are very cheap, and will make short work of footslogging plague marines. In addition, plasma cannons have an okay chance to blast open rhinos. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170548-help-with-the-purge/#findComment-2016756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newach Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Last night when we played I used Plasma Cannons and a Sternguard squad. The Plasma Cannon destroyed the Plauge Marines and Hellfire rounds tore the daemon prince up. 20 hellfire rounds caused 7 unsaved wounds.

greatcrusade08 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 just a quick thought.. have you considered snipers, they wound on 4+ and rending hits ignore FNP GC08 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170548-help-with-the-purge/#findComment-2017266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newach Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have a small squad of snipers with Telion. They normally don't work well, but I think it is because they are a small squad. Eventally I will make it a 10 man squad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170548-help-with-the-purge/#findComment-2017894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
