Hello guys,

This time I am messing around with my Nurgle model collection to see what I can do. So far I have come up with the following:


EDIT: After comments, this is how the list looks like now:

DEATH GUARD VECTORIUM

WARBAND (MoN & VotLW on everything)

Chaos Lord, Bike, Fist/Claw, Sigil 165

5x CSM, Meltagun, Meltabombs, Rhino 140

I'd keep it simple, adding 2 more units of bikers to add antitank.
you should still have space for an heldrake terror squad with 2 flamer-drakes. that would be pretty nasty to hordes and other flyiers.
otherwise you could go for total MSU spam and kick in 4 marines squads with meltagun and meltabombs in rhinos... i'd personally go for that since it would exploit the DG bonuses and make you extremely hard to counter on objective based games (6 units of T5, Fnp rerolling 1, fearless marines are not a joke)

I tried to go for "the middle ground" of your comments and removed the spawn to make room for 1 more CSM squad, 2 heldrakes and 2 more biker units (1 of them with 5 bodies for the lord to stick with). Looks pretty solid to me, what do you think?

Here is how the list looks like now:

i honestly never found heavy bolters of any use...1 extra shot but 12" less range and 2 less str, means it will shoot 1 round less and be less effective when it its. havocs shold have heavy bolters as stock, but to pay for it is madness, imo.
also, what if enemy is inside vehicles...wasted points!

But against such enemies the auto cannons aren't limited to killing just the chaff, they will wound monstrous creatures, wreck vehicles and even down flyers. The problem with chaos h bolters is no re rolls and are limited to being ineffective against even weak troops.

The problem with heavy bolters is that they haven't been worth the points since 2nd edition. In 2nd ed they were awesome, especially with how twin linking worked for heavy bolters on dreadnoughts. Since 3rd ed they have never been worth the points, maybe if they were free.
