Barzyn Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Is the Plague Hulk worth the 205 pts it costs to field them, do you run with them and how well do they do? Also what is the hull pts on it, is it the basic 3 like most vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 My recollection of Plaguehulks when they were released they were Chaos Deamons only so they would have to be allies. They were slightly tougher than Defilers in the previous edition, but now it seems to depend on if you want demonic allies. I personally think I might run Servants of Decay allies just to be weird/unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 You can use a Plague Hulk in your CSM list if it includes at least one unit of Plague Marines. I don't think they've released an update for it, as far as hull points are concerned, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barzyn Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 yeah i don't know about the hull pts and yeah i knew they released it to run with chaos daemons. i do run with squads of plague marines, cuz i always run with a lord and a sorcerer in my army lists. i don't think there has been an update on the rules yet for them , but i figured i would ask. i can see them doing good against horde armies with lots of foot troops, but against a vehicle heavy army they wouldn't do so good against unless you got into close combat with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unspeakable Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 4 Hull Points. It's in the 6th edition Forgeworld updates. I ran one once in a 1500pts game (Fine, i was proxy-ing my Defiler so sue me). It wasn't bad, made its points back, but its loss of battlecannon really hurts.

Barzyn Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 ah gotcha, so how did you run it , did you just use it as an infantry killing machine or did you hit light vehicles with the wpns also?, i was thinking of picking one up, i don't own an actual defiler or soulgrinder, so figured plague hulk be a better investment if i get around to picking one up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBasser Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Plague Hulks are basically over-priced Soul Grinders. I would just take a Nurglefied Soul Grinder than a Plague Hulk. This is unless you're doinga tally-list, as I believe the Plague Hulk counts as Nurgle. Â Soul Grindet with Phlegm - 160 points. Plague Hulk - 205 points. There are better use of the points. Â If you're looking to add stuff to your list, I would consider Blight Drones. A little squishy, but flyers with a str 8 pie plate and can.be taken in squads. Â I would run allies with daemons. As part of the Daemon Codex, they can deepstrike. I think deepstriking a Plague Hulk close is vetter than slogging it across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barzyn Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 haven't considered allies yet, deep striking plague hulk would be nice. was thinking of just running with a defiler for right now until i decide what else to do, kinda want more nurgle themed units though in my army. i wish they'd put marks back on vehicles like they used to have, would really help out alot if they did do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unspeakable Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It was intended to be used against infantry, and it actually did pretty well, wiping out an entire squad of warp spiders in one shooting phase. Somehow it managed to get close enough to crump a Wave Serpent, so that was a nice bonus. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barzyn Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 yeah i'd use it solely for the purposes of destroying infantry units especially if i'm facing horde armies like nids or orks (rather play orks to be honest with ya) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
