Iron_Within Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So I am trying to run a list tomorrow and I am trying to get units to complement my primary alpha attack. HQ - Terminator Chaos Lord with Mark of Nurgle Heavy Support - 3 Units of Obliterators with Mark of Nurgle Fortification - Feculent Gnawlmaw (Nurgle Tree) Because the Tree is a Daemon unit in a Daemon Detachment it can be Deepstruck for 1 CP, the Obliterators and Lord Deepstrike in with the tree give the Oblits +2 cover save, then they shoot things and be an awful pain as they are very hard to shift. I'm using this with Iron Warriors, the only thing I'd consider adding a different Legion in for is World Eaters for my Zerkers. So I'm thinking what units would complement this tactic.

Doom Herald Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) I have been itching to try out the oblits and Gnarlmaw deepstrike, Alpha Legion instead though (-1 to hit), as an anvil to a Noise Marine suicide squad. Unfortunately, they are always out of stock when I have the money. A Sorcerer with Warp Time would probably be good for mobility. Other Dark Hereticus powers would be great as well. Death Hex for those tough targets, Prescience for hits, the Nurgle power to make oblits harder to hit. The poxbringer (normal Nurgle herald) would probably be nice for the healing power, or any other Nurgle powers. He can be summoned too so there is no need for another dettachment. If you aren't opposed to adding a Daemon dettachment though, Nurglings can be deployed outside of your deployment zone, so you can drop them near the enemy to tie up units while your alpha strike hits the primary targets. They can then fall back to allow your oblits to move in with firepower. Having Nurglings would also increase the number of units you can deepstrike in since even though they deploy outside your deployment zone it is still during deployment. Sorry if I'm going too Nurgle heavy...

Doom Herald Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You have 5 units listed to deepstrike, so just remember that you need at least that many units already on the battlefield by the end of deployment. Cultists are a cheap solution, and benefit greatly from the Iron Warriors warlord trait. Overall, I think Nurglings would serve a more practical purpose. A combination of the two might be good though.

Withershadow Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's Nurgle, after all. :P Getting a 3+ save against lascannons isn't that broken.

Wolf Lord Loki Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That isnt a daemon detachment due to the lord being a terminator.

Doom Herald Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) That isnt a daemon detachment due to the lord being a terminator. Any rule that applies to a NURGLE DAEMON applies regardless of faction or dettachment, except for the specific FAQ about the strategems. If you mean the Feculant Gnarlmaw, it is in its own Detachment, Fortification Network I believe, as the only way to field them in a dettachment is that particular dettachment which can only have fortifications.

Iron_Within Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Correct. The fortification network is a Daemon detachment allowing it to revive daemon stratagems. The the obliterators are nurgle daemons however the Terminator Lord is not so he does not gain the cover bonus but as he has Mark of nurgle he does not receive mortal wounds either Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345527-nurgle-obliterator-bomb-what-works-with-it/#findComment-5040135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I seems like a herald with a locus buff would work here too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345527-nurgle-obliterator-bomb-what-works-with-it/#findComment-5040391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom Herald Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I seems like a herald with a locus buff would work here too. I thought the locus only applies to attacks in the Fight Phase, strength would not affect ranged weapons either.

Marshlands Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I seems like a herald with a locus buff would work here too.I thought the locus only applies to attacks in the Fight Phase, strength would not affect ranged weapons either. Unless Faq'd I believe the wording doesn't specify. Would need a detachment though. Perhaps a Herald, 3 Nurgling squads and a dp for the reroll s freeing the CSM detachment to take more psychic. A GUO with a bell could actually heal the Oblits which is pretty awesome, if starting to border on ridiculously expensive. Of course epidemius always works well with an army with nurgle daemons that can actually shoot well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345527-nurgle-obliterator-bomb-what-works-with-it/#findComment-5043151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
