Daemon Death Star!

[Chicop76]

Was looking at this build an saw how really, really hard it is to kill this. Yes it's slow as all get out, but it will kill most things that come near.

538 points x8 Drones, 2 x lesser, bringer, rot, venom, heads
*** points Epidemius
165 herald of Nurgle: Exalted, Mastery 2, palanquin
190 Herald of Nurg: greater, lesser. Mastery 2, palanquin, Fecundity
165 Herald of Nurgle: greater, lesser, Mastery 2, palanquin,
1168 points total

It is a very, very expensive and very slow unit. However it is a grand total of 43 wounds at toughness 5. With 3 possible extra wounds for 46 possible wounds.

1. Epidemius with 14 tallies will bumb everyone to toughness 6. The +2 poison will help all above with instant death and power weapons.

2. The exhaulted herald will take True Names which will provide a 3+ Invulnerable save to the squad. Also thanks to loci everyone has a +5 feel no pain which will make them very hard to kil. Throw in 6 rolls on biomancy you can possibly get a toughness 9 herald of Nurgle, and make the squad have it will not die etc. The lesser and greater rewards can be swaped out for etherblades for that ap 2 killing love at strength 5 or 6 and with biomancy it can be up to str 9.

3. The upgrade for the drones can throw in ap 2 attacks that one can cause instant death. The heads provide shooting. Rot allows for +3 poison.

All in all you will have a slooooww, but very durable and killy unit. Against powerfist and the like it is very easy for this unit to wipe out a unit before the fist hit. I would stay away from strength 10 pie plates until you get enough tallies fo toughness 6.
