Vuel's CSM armylist

Since Doomboy asked for my finalised Nurgle CSM army list, I'll post this up here then.
By the way, this thread will also be for my other CSM army lists too.

Here it goes...

6th Ed Nurgle CSM - 1750

Typhus
Epidemius

7 Plague Marines + 2 plasmaguns + power fist
Rhino

7 Plague Marines + 2 plasmaguns + power fist
Rhino

10 Plague Zombies

20 Plaguebearers

7 Plague Havocs + 4 Autocannon
(havoc with mark of nurgle)

3 obliterators with mark of nurgle

Maulerfiend with lasher tendrils


That's it, nothing special here. It's just an ordinary list that I feel comfortable with.

looking forward to seeing the nurglish maulerfiend. knowing u, u probably have some crazy conversion idea already.

Not much..just planning to add some gritty texture to the armourplate surfaces..
And a minor modification on the head, and probably the front limbs too..
And maybe on the exhaust vents at the dorsal part..

See, just some simple additions

Nice list there bro.
If I remember correctly there is a max size for plaguebearers which is 20.
I guess you will splitting them to 20-10?

I would love to see a mauler in action. btw you are not taking typhus cause of that plague zombies right? cause if you are it would be cooler if you fielded more of them. btw mantic has a Halloween special plague corporation (ig) zombies... buyyyyyy

Nice themed list. I like the fact that it was made at 1750pts since that is how I want to play 40k

I wonder why so many Plaguebearers and so little Zombies? I was expecting like at least 2x10 Zombies would be cool enough. They are dirt cheap and resilient.

Summore, does all the benefit of Epidemius (the killing thing) apply to CSM? I wonder.. They are all nurglite aniway..

i hope we move back to the 1750 bracket i have issues making lists at 1500

Haha. Soon after legio 40k tournament.

it's a typo, probably caught in my mind between 20 plaguebearers and 300pts..
anyway, corrected already..

it I wanted cheap, I would've played more zombies..
the plaguebearers are there to deep strike together with epidemius, providing additional 20xT5 with 5+Inv and FNP.
and yes, his tally applies to the rest of the army.

downside to this themed list:
maulerfiend can't be marked, and
believe it or not, zombies does not have the mark of nurgle

Ohh.. lovely. Epidemius + 20 Plaguebearers = 21 in a unit. That's a favoured number!

Now the only thing I cant figure in this is Typhus. What is your plan for him? Oblits? Havocs? Solofighter?

very fluffy list just like Lan's 1k sons. i like it. iirc death guard doesnt use rhino for transport right? i remember reading in the BL books how they just like to march in the most macho way.

i remembered fighting your previous nurgle list, it was so bad ass and tough as nails broski !!

@AK: Typhus is there as the favoured son of Nurgle. Game-wise, I also don't know yet.

@arzmi: honestly, I prefer a footslogging army but I have two Nurgle rhinos standing idle here in the Manufactorum

bro since you are the master nurgle, can you build a 1500 pre-heresy DG list. just wanna see how'd you look into it fluff-wise using the new codex. if u can, no transports, no oblits, no daemons, just marines in particular.

would like to see how it pans out. thanks man.

PH DG are just plain marines.

If you're thinking of using the SM codex, the list will probably revolve around this:
1 Captain
2 Dreadnoughts
10 Terminators
5x10 mix-n-match Tactical/Devastator Squad

If you're thinking of using the new CSM codex, i'd build this:
1 Lord
3 Chaos Dreadnought with 2DCCW each
3x20 basic CSM
3x5 Havoc with 4 Autocannons

already have a PH DG using SM codex. just wanted to see how much variety from using CSM codex.

-that 1 lord is not a demon or anything correct? can i make a garro out of it?
-not keen on dreadnoughts, too pricey for FW. would rather spend on more marines or termies
-3 X 20 marines?? i can can 20 marines in 1 squad?
-havocs are something like dev right? the blog i saw with PH DG had 4 FW dudes using aegis autocannons

Lord is a 'normal' PA marine.

if you take out the dreadnoughts, you can have another squad of 1x20 CSM plus extra points for various upgrades..
plus, they're cheaper than a ten man terminator squad..

and yes, CSM can have 20 marines in 1 squad..

How does epidemius' ability apply to the rest of the army?

Nice list. I'm sure my Thousand Sons have a huge issue with you rotten foul smelly brutes ... Challenge!!!!

Epidemius' Tallyman ability applies to (quoting the daemon codex) --> Any model with the Mark of Nurgle (friend or foe)


@spunky: challenge accepted (after everything is fully painted, ok?)
