raiders13 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 So I play against a nurgle list pretty often and I'm having trouble dealing with all the toughness 5 and MC's. I take 2x 5 LF with 4ML, but they can't do enough damage a turn. Anybody got any idea's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichfaust Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Plasma, plasma, plasma. Last time I went up against a Nurgle list I ran 3x Las/Plas Razorbacks, 3x Plasma Cannon dreads, and had at least 1 squad of Hunters packing dual Plasma, I'd suggest you do the same. Obviously 6th edition rules with Gets Hot! applying to vehicles make it a bit riskier to mount Plasma weapons to Dreads, but Stronos-pattern Razorbacks get twin-linked so it's mitigated a bit. Sadly, you're not gonna be nullifying his armour AND feel-no-pain unless you're hitting em with S10 AP1/2, so maybe consider taking some Vindicators if you really want to blow him away. You might consider taking a 5x Plasma Cannon LF squad, that could do some serious damage. Sucks that FNP doesn't care about AP2 now, but them's the breaks. I've been having a lot of luck in 6th with a full Plasma GH squad--that is 2x Plasmaguns, 1x Plasma Pistol, TDA Wolf Guard with Combi-Plasma (alternatively, a gunslinging plasma pistol WG) and a Plasma Pistol Wolf Priest to give them Preferred Enemy: Infantry. That's 8x Plasma shots at 12" or less, and you get to re-roll any overheating results. Not too shabby if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders13 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I might have to give that a try. The T5 is killing me when it comes to CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacton Qruze Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 As said, plasma works wonders. If getting around FNP is a priority to you, S10 fists (So TWC and Dreads) will serve you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquigg Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I've been running 4 PC- long fangs with Lasplas razor-back against those kinds of lists and it works wonders. And I can vouch for the TWC and Dread which also works wonders against T5.. or anything else for that matter. GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raiders13 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 I've tried TWC but they haven't done much. How do you guys kit them out? I've been running mine as 2x 3TWC all with SS. I want to throw in a PF but that's a lot of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom MKIV Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Don't fight them in combat if you can help it, pound them with vindicators. Vindis are awesome now and have the added benefit of not dying to dragons as easy as long fangs. I agree with the suggestions for plas and maybe even a unit of twc too.

Iacton Qruze Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I run 3, plus a WL. All have SS, one fist. WL has a fist as well, and runic armor. They are the bane of most peoples' existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor1234 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 In short? pound em with vindicators and Plasma Fangs and then throw a unit of TWC with a fist and a tooled up lord at em and they'll drop like anything else! and dint forget the 2-3 squads of dual plasma GH...... plasma is your friend here as the S7 migrates their T while the AP2 negates their saves, then just hope his FNP rolls suck! TWC make an excellent clean up unit here and they can then chop to their hearts content at the weakened squads of nurgle..... good luck Brother!

greysquigg Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 The great thing about the plasma fangs is their comedic value when they miss all their shots and hit the squad next to them! GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwolfalpha Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Vindicators are amazing vs nurgle, you just need to be careful with them. I tend not charge Nurgle until I can get two units in on the fight. GH and TWC usually. This way I drowned them in attacks and make them choose if they want to split theirs. I am always hesitant to go the full plasma road because 1's have a fondness for me, but there is something to be said for 5 plasma shots and a mess of bolter fire from a unit that can take a charge. No pack should run alone, so make sure your GH's move together so they can unload hell on any unit in front of them. I like A Rune Priest with Prescience to lead plasma. Give him Master of Runes and you open up a lot of nifty options for close/mid range fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
