I'm working on a 2500pt list and I could really use some advice. I also need a Lord Level General as my Heroes selection is full. Should I go with a Chaos Lord or a Sorcerer Lord? I have exactly 500pts to spend for the General but I dont have to spend them all. Enough left over to buy a banner or two would be nice. This is a Nurgle army so everything has MoN.

Here is what I have so far. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Exalted Hero 230pts
-MoN
-Shrieking Blade
-Shield
-Armor of Fortune
-Ironcurse Icon
-BSB
-Stream of Corruption

Exalted Hero 205pts
-MoN
-Shield
-Dawnstone
-Book of Secrets: Lore of Death
-Blood Curdling Roar

Chaos Sorcerer 185pts
-MoN
-Level 2 Lore of Nurgle
-Infernal Puppet
-Necrotic Phylactery

Heroes 620pts 24.8%

Chaos Marauders x30 (6x5) 230pts
-MoN
-Full Command
-Light Armor
-Great Weapons

Chaos Warriors x16 (Exalted and Sorcerer; 6x3) 316pts
-MoN
-Full Command
-Shields

Chaos Warriors x17 (BSB; 6x3) 349pts
-MoN
-Full Command
-Halberds
-Shields

Core 895pts 35.8%

Chaos Knights x10 (5x2) 480pts
-MoN
-Full Command

Special 480pts 19.2%

I would say Spell familiar and infernal puppet 2 arcane items, don't think you can have them on your sorcerer, unless i missed something with the new rules. Taking a Sorcerer lord would be a good idea, then maybe something fun and rare with your spare points like a hellcannon or a Warshrine depending on how much you have left!

Good catch, thank you. Switch it out for Necrotic Phylactery for now unless someone can suggest something better?

Sorry about that.

As much as I would love to take a Hellcannon... I unfortunately do not own one... and wont until they release a plastic kit... I detest GW metal minis.... have since they stopped using lead... but thats another issue...

I remember hearing here and there and some places that the chaos lord is not as great as the sorcerer lord. Based on that, I'd say maybe giving the sorcerer a try and boosting your magic? Otherwise, try to build a chaos lord and a sorcerer lord for roughly the same amount of points, this way you can try each of them a few times and see which you want to stick with, meanwhile you can go ahead and build/play with whatever you're planning on doing with the left overs.

Ta da!

Either way, if you're going for more theme then punch you just have to include a palanquin, no true Nurgle Champion should leave home without it.

Maybe buy one for the whole family and have all your units with a fear causer. Dun dun dun.

How's that sound?

The army I've been playing around with is strikingly similar.

Edit: I'm dumb. The Ironcurse Icon is an Enchanted Item...
First, your BSB has a magic banner and magic items. He can only have one or the other (BS + Magic Items or BS + Magic Banner).

The other thing I've learned: A sorcerer lord and a lv2 is really pushing it for the same lore. I have a Sorcerer Lord with a Spell Familiar, MoN and a Lv.2 Sorcerer with Lore of Death. Lore of Death is still very fluffy Nurgle, and I gave it to the Lv.2 as it's easier to make the argument Nurgle hasn't seen fit to bless him yet.

Having a Lv.2 and a Lv.4 with the same lore does guarantee you all 6 spells, but, with the potency of the new lores, I'm finding I like the variety a little better. Just some thoughts.


Side-note: Huzzah for another Nurglite showing his face around here! By my count, that makes three :) Though I haven't posed a list yet...I should do that.

Sorry to double post, but you could also switch out the Armour of Fortune for the Talisman of Endurance. The net result is 5 saved points and +1 Armour save.

Chaos Armour + Talisman of Endurance is 4+/5++
Armour of Fortune is 5+/5++

I've come across this a few times trying to use Common Magic Armour with warriors, the default Chaos Armour is just better than the Heavy Armour they all have.
