vs Nurgl

Hi everyone!

I try some small point game (1000) vs Nurgl this Weekend and i Think what can help me win. I think about Hellions (14" movement keep them Save from too fast assault to 3 turn when they can hit on 2+. Weapon S5 (with drugs) or +1A on paper looks cool. I also think about Razorwings (obvious choice), Splinterborn in Venom or Scourges with shardcarbine. And most important question. Ynnari or DE?

Poison and darklight. Poison the infantry and darklight the vehicles. I've fought them twice so far and they've not really been a problem as our weaponry pretty much negates most of their advantages.

Watch out for Bloatdrones. They can be near unstoppable sometimes.

This +agility. Nurgle is slow.

Put the objective far from each others. You're faster than him, use it.

If you are counting on the +1 to hit on turn 3 then you have to go with DE.

I threw down against Nurgle a few days ago. He ran a lot of Poxwalkers, and SCABATHRAX (Forgeworld Great Unclean One Character).

The best thing you can do is pile on as much poison fire as you possibly can. They're toughness and ability to soak damage is horrendous, and Poison really is your best friend in the whole world against them.

Keep away from them. Use your speed and range to shoot until they get close and you initiate the charges. Then zoom away when the impending doom is about to happen. Also, try and get some DSers or Infiltrators so when he advances towards you, you can drop 1 or 2 squads of guys in the backfield he just left and because he is so slow he will not be able to go after your main army and the backfield guys you just dropped.

I have played 2 games thus far against 6 princes and 12 Blight Drones with Typhus and a bunch of Walkers and the strategy above worked well.
