I love this detachment. The sensation of stink up to death and debuffthem is one of the thinks i love about nurgle. Complain all you want, but you can force 3 battleshock + the stratagems + the units under half. I just love the idea of take an oponent point just by making their army get constantly gross out and sick
The crit 5s Strat on spoilpox unit of bearers with rotigus +1 DMG and extra ap aura slaps. 20 attacks Sus and leathal 5+ ap2 2dmg I wiped a whole 10man chosen with Abby attached in a round
Dude it's almost like you didn't even read this thing correctly the add 5" movement only works if you make a normal move not an advance so it cancels it out. 😅
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.
As soon gw writes battleshock everybody is crying. I think this detachment is hard on denying points. Forcing 1-2 battleshocks a round is useless but forcing more will get pain. Most of the BS abilities also trigger in enemy turn like bilepiper or the Army rule. Nurgle is hard to kill and over time losing models to mortals or just for failing a BS adds up. Im pretty sure the BS system isnt unlocked really right now by players. Its a control playstyle more then a i run and kill everything. Not scoring or scoring less primaries for several rounds could be the nail in the coffin
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.
Well they probably will do it in 11th. But it sucks for daemons players. The fact that there are not many nurgle units is fixed by playing undivided, mix a little of each god in. But again sadly the writing is on the wall, 11th edition you will get your wish.
If GW is gonna keep pushing these Battle Shock Focus detachments, they need to change battle shock on a fundamental level.

Nicely presented and great commentary, thank you
this detachment are sick
not the 90s kind of sick btw
as unreliable as battleshock is, it should be "every unit within engagement range of a nurgle daemons unit"
Facts
No stratagem no points no secondary misión and D3 letal its enough for my
would it be a good idea to bring Khorne units with precision in order to kill enemy unit leaders, making leader ship tests worse?
In a lot of armies, characters don't do much to affect leadership. Even Astra Militarum only bump it up by 1 with Commissars, Leontus and the like.
What do you mean the spoilpox scrib has bs abilites ? He has oc abilities do you mean the splotiy bile piper ? 😂

this makes me so sad.
One thing: this detachment certainly does have good CP generation. Epidemius gives us CP for killing stuff w nurgle daemons

I would hate that. I don’t want to play Death Guard, I want to play Nurgle Daemons.
I agree
