I think mon on chosen is gong to give us a great counter to many elven elite units, all of them hitting on a 5+ and a fair chance if I6, against anything ws3 you have a fair chance of ws7, ogres, saurus, halberdiers all hitting on a 6, yes please :) It's certainly going to make it better than mok, glittering scales with it will be nasty. I don't think units of 15 will be big enough, I hedge a feeling your going to wave units of 18-24, halberds for ms units. |

Just gonna have to cop it sweet, and pay the points. a block of 28 with FC and Hal & shield and mark is looking like 650 points. 10 new knights for the price of 12 old ones. half of my old marauders will be turned in to forsaken, looks like MoN will be best for them. |

How are knights costing your more with cheaper marks and cheaper command. |

Depends on the size of the unit. 5 Knights with EW are cheaper, 10 knights slightly more expensive, but only by 20p. I'm actually thinking of using GW's on Warriors and Chosen of Nurgle. Most things hitting on 5's is huge, and when backed by a metal/nurgle wizard, they become even harder to stop. |

Well, its certainly not 2 knights more expensive :p it also depends on command, if you take fullcommand you save 20pts, then on a mark (say Khorne), you save 10pts. GW and MoN would be very good, especially on chosen against anything WS3 if you roll +1 WS |

I don't have the points part of the book, so I over estimated the price of the knights on purpose. so when I do get the book, they'll be cheaper than I expected. |

Just finished a game with new book. MoN is THE best mark for sure. It was amazing!!!! Knights and warriors are getting hit on 5's. Nurgle BSB with glittering scales is hit on 6's. Just amazing. My unkillable Tzeentch lord was locked in a stalemate battle with unkillable DE general, Lame!!!! Chariots are amazing now that they are core. Over all I think our core warriors are a tad expensive but like I said before warriors with MoN are great. |

Yeah, I'm thinking a block of 21 with char or 22 without in Nurgle with shields run 5 wide and 4 deep with 2 ablative wounds to tank and then you don't need that many actual kills to break a unit on combat res. |

So what are folks thinking as far as unit size goes? I've heard anything from 15 to 24...24 just seems like *such* a huge number, and 15 seems..so tiny...But surprisingly what I'm leaning towards. 15, MoN, full command, with shields, maybe? coupled with a second unit 11-strong, with the bsb on a palanquin...That would leave plenty of room for all the fun stuff in the special slot. But the question is; are those units large enough, or will they be chewed through? |

Well this is ironic, since it now seems like a really great unit when before I made it out of necessity, but my main Nurgle Block last book was: x18 to 20 MoN Warriors, additional hw and the banner that gives piercing. Before it was a solid unit that got better in certain matchups, now it's a killer that's also really hard to kill. Feel free to add a BSB or other hero to it with a mundane weapon and get piercing thrown on that too. I've been thinking of the pally's use in blocks now and if you use a character with it, I'm thinking that you're going to have to kit them out for surviving cannonballs even if you have a lot of other targets(especially if the character is a BSB or Sorcerer Lord) you dont get lookout saves anymore with them. An exalted I've been thinking of running in a 14 man unit of MoN Warriors with shields is: MoN, Pally, GW, Scaly Skin, Charmed sh, Potion of Healing, and Seed of Rebirth (Okay, so Dragon Gem would be more competetive, but this is so fluffly) He has 4 wounds because of the mount rules, 1+ armor save, -1 to hit, hits back with st 7, can heal wounds with the pot, and has a +6 regen just for grins in a unit of rock hard warriors.

Champion of Nurgle

For some reason I got hella excited for going Mark of Slaanesh. Like nearly excited enough to start melting down my recently finished army of Nurgle to go all glittery and pink. If...someone was crazy enough to do that, how would you equip them? To me, I can't see anything as standing out spectacularly. Which could be good, meaning you could just take whatever kit you felt like? Any thoughts? I am glad to hear MoN is nicer now. I will miss the old set up of anti-shooting I had with MoN, and Rage on one unit, Blasted on another. That gave some satisfaction in knowing I was going to make it across the board. However! If they are now that survivable then maybe we could see some GW usage now. Hack! At my club I was the only one running Mono or Nearly-Mono Nurgle. I will feel a tingle of sadness though if tomorrow everyone is running it. T_T In that case I am so switching teams to Slaanesh. |

Going with mark of Slaanesh makes the warriors more resistant to psychology, and it's cheaper than the other marks, so when it comes to equipment you can go with whatever you want, but halberd feels more viable when comparing to other marks, since the mark is cheaper. |

Depending on the list I think I will be using this unit: Exalted Hero - Mark of Khorne - Battle Standard Bearer - Enchanted Shield - Sword of swift slaying 23 Chaos Warriors - Mark of Khorne - Fullcommand - Additional Hand weapons Of course at 2k I am pretty restricted on what I can fit into the list sadly |
