don't like the Nurgle one. You lose too much compared to the old one. Plus, I hate Battleshock because most of the time, even with a -1, the enemy doesn't even get Battleshocked that often, and against nids with their 3 dice, it's just stupid.
I don’t understand why they won’t just roll the Daemons in with the Chaos legions. Even if this detachment were great, if you run mono-Nurgle, you’re functionally bringing a 2K list of GUOs, plaguebearers, beasts and a couple Nurglings. Mono-god chaos daemons don’t have the unit range to support their own armies. Think about how much better Nurgle Daemons would be supported by (or supporting, depending on which is your main force) Death Guard.
If GW is gonna keep pushing these Battle Shock Focus detachments, they need to change battle shock on a fundamental level.
as unreliable as battleshock is, it should be "every unit within engagement range of a nurgle daemons unit"

this makes me so sad.
