Mikeisreal Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So I'm curious, how would y'all handle a nurgle force with the big ole guy in it? I'm thinking paladin spam but I was wondering what you guys thought.

Purifying Tempest Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Nothing meatier in our lists than a dreadknight. STR10 gsword with force, ignoring armor, and banishment should give the Prince a pause... especially fielding 2 knights. Basically our whole army should give demonic models a bit of a scare. We should be pretty happy to see any demon list, even nurgle. The toughness boost is easily overcome with hammerhand, we should break just about any armor they have, and banishment eats away their saves.

Captain Coolpants Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well we don't have any initiative boosting a abilities anymore, so a big scary Daemon with an instant death sword striking at initiative 8 at a high weapon skill is like suicide for a dreadknight, (which makes absolutely no sense fluff wise) Our best bet it to shoot it lol.

Mikeisreal Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 The nurgle lord is only initiative 5.... It's the one out of imperial armor but I cannot for the life if me spell his name Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296125-how-to-fight-a-nurgle-deamon-lord-with-gk/#findComment-3796695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The nurgle lord is only initiative 5.... It's the one out of imperial armor but I cannot for the life if me spell his name I responded to the guy above me, he said "Prince" meaning daemon Prince lol. But anyway. A dreadknight should at least get 1 wound through to the Lord and instant death him. Unless he's a nurgle biker with toughness 6,because then you must rely of force and hope your opponent doesn't did spell it. Because I'm not sure who you mean? I haven't got the book either haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296125-how-to-fight-a-nurgle-deamon-lord-with-gk/#findComment-3796725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you are talking about the forgeworld uber nurgle daemon, i would suggest stern + draigo + termies/pallies.

Mikeisreal Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Gargantuan creatures are immune to instant death, as for shooting him, the guy is toughness 9 so psylincers are out.

Rurik the blessed Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Draigo would do the trick. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296125-how-to-fight-a-nurgle-deamon-lord-with-gk/#findComment-3797080 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 They lose D3 wounds per ID wound mind, so Draigo could potentially cause some hurt. The Extermination force (if playing Apocalypse) is pretty glorious for it too.

Captain Coolpants Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So wait. This chaos character you're taking about is a gargantuan creature? Or are you talking about something else now?

Mikeisreal Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yes the gargantuan creature one, the weapon skill 9 and his toughness 9 are the main problems for getting in close Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296125-how-to-fight-a-nurgle-deamon-lord-with-gk/#findComment-3797267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidicul Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Inquisitor with the relic that knocks 5 off his weaponskill and Paladins with falchions and force active and a HQ with Hammerhand active should be enough to take it out. Expensive for sure but probably not as expensive as what they'll be killing. If you dont mind deviating to much from fluff, make the Inquisitor a Xenos and take Rad grenades to drop is toughness a little.

Ishagu Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Draigo and Paladins should do it... If you want to guarantee the kill, a unit with Draigo, brother Captain Stern and an Apothecary Paladin. You can use the psychic power stern has to boost Draigo's invul to a 2+ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296125-how-to-fight-a-nurgle-deamon-lord-with-gk/#findComment-3797325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeisreal Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 The guy has it in his mind that The Lord is an unkillable beast..

Reclusiarch Darius Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So I'm curious, how would y'all handle a nurgle force with the big ole guy in it? I'm thinking paladin spam but I was wondering what you guys thought. Well seeing as we're playing Apocalypse, I take a Reaver Titan and procede to turbo-laser him into steam. If you're talking about a Nurgle Daemon Prince, ground him first with Skyfire (Raven or a Quad-Gun), then gatling psilencer with 'Force'. Failing that, a Terminator squad with at least two hammers (he'll kill 3-4, but then you hail mary with the hammer and 'Force' turned on). If you're talking about a GUO, put a Dreadknight into him.

Happy-inquisitor Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Just for something different you could tie in up with a brotherhood champion with the bone shard backed up by Stern for a reroll able 2++ in the challenge. While it is occupied with that a Dreadknight should be able to hammer it flat.

It won't kill two DK's with 'Sanctuary' up, one of them will stab it to death.

You are too kind to GW ;) . Don't forget kids, relics are just too powerful to be taken in combination, or on heroes who have literally no other purpose but melee combat.
