Nurgle stack?

[BeeBee1]

Hello,

I spend most of my time with Dwarfs, Lizardmen and Elves but decided to move over to something pretty different: Nurgle things

I picked up the new maggot dude DLC and so far, 40 turns in, am really enjoying the game play.

One issue I am having is army composition. Nurgle(and Chaos factions in general) have an insane variety of units. I am all over the place and battles are messy.

Wanted to see what kind of army comps everyone here has for Nurgle factions(more specifically the new maggot dude). Not really interested in overkill doomstacks. I nice mix of units that can take on most armies.

Please and thank

It differs generally.

For Tamurkhan I prefer to use non daemonic unit's over daemons.
While for Epidimius I lean heavily into his theme of plaguebearers and unit's that are ridden by plaguebearers.

But in general I will have 5 frontline type infantry for Nurgle. 2 Soulgrinders. 3 Plaguehounds to hunt down archers. No more then 2 Sems like toad dragons or greater unclean ones. Generally 2 big shock cavalry. A separate mage hero as my main caster. A cultist for movement on the map. Then generally 2 exalted heroes as my goonsquad that hunt down enemy characters. The last 3 slots are generally monstrous variants, either trolls, ogres or the ever lovable beasts of Nurgle.

For early game mortal infantry units are slightly better(not for epidemuis). Then i try to swap them out for ogres and trolls. Further down the line 2 toad dragons, 2 unclean ones and 2-4 rot knights. Before recruiting unclean ones it is better to finish their upgrade tree. Another possibility is 4 soul grinders + mix of infantry + corner camping.
Also heroes are quite valuable, Tamurkhan can use his chieftains but it is better to add a nurgle caster.

For Tamurkhan, it's probably best to play him like he is a member of the WoC. So Chaos Warriors/Chosen, plus Rot Knights, Toad Dragons to have some heavy mass units and maybe 1 or 2 Soul Grinders (never a bad idea to have atillery).

Kugath is the ultimate Nurgle theme of really liking group hugs. Especially if you get his Mortis Engine effect.

Haven't played Epidemus, yet.

Ok lads, thanks!

This is enough for me to switch it up a little. Cheers!
