I think you should take two Nurgle Heralds. By doing so you can raise the squads leadership and give both troop squads fnp. In my experance I seen non herald nurgle do rather poorly, especially if you can neagate their cover saves.

Also by taking two heralds you can hopefully get endurance to fnp other unitsin your army.

That Nurgle Prince only cost 345 points. I done the same and it is rather hard to kill with it will not die, extra wound, fnp. However I think 2 powers should be the most you ever need even if you don't get iron arm.

You hopefully using the exaulted fore tomb .


Waaaghpower

If I take nurgle heralds, though, that's 2 HQ.
Wait... then again, I just realized that I meet the 'allies' requirements for both FOC and can do that if I want to.
What is the 'Fore Tomb?' That's the spawny-thingey?

Okay, I took out the Biker Nobz and boss, added 10 lootas and a SAG Big Mek plus 2 decked out Nurgle Heralds. (Steed, 2 mastery levels, the works.)
I also split the Grots into two squads.
The plan is to deploy all the Orks on the board in a defensive gun line, and the Chaos teleport in ASAP.

Ohhhh. I see the orcs are the primary. I think taking the heralds would be better.

However how about using nurglings instead and take more orcs. Plague Bearers such hard without a herald.

Also if you take the heralds you can't take the prince as a heavy. Which means you will probably take a nurgle soul grinder.

Beast of Nurgle or Plague flies can be fun to use. I seen them in action and think the plague flies are better. They can take an icon and you have a character that can take 2 master crafter ap 2 weapons.

I swapped it around so the Orks were secondary.
With that in mind, I almost want to find somewhere to shave another hundred points or so. That way I can max out on 4 Heralds and have a crapload of psykers on the board. (3 level Unclean one, 3 level prince, and 4 2 level Heralds... 14 mastery levels. Enfeeble every single thing on the board FTW!)

Swaping it around means that your orks can fall victim to the warp storm table, but a level 3 prince is a lot of powers in one spot.


Waaaghpower

Hmm... I don't really want to make him level 2, though. Between the really good blessings and equally awesome maledictions on the Biomancy page, I want to go for as good of a chance as possible for Iron Arm, Enfeeble, and...
Waitaminute. What's the point of Endurance if all my guys have Feel No Pain already? Hmm...
Well, Iron Arm, Lightning Reflexes, and Enfeeble are great, and I want to guarantee at least 1 of them on my prince.

Endurance can be used on your HQ and Prince in case they don't get the +4 fnp or the regular fnp. Enfeeble is great cause it's like you have rad grenades.

I'm thinking of shaving some points and taking Deffkoptas with Big Bomms as well as Burnas. Hold 'em back on turn one, get 'em close....
And after their targets are all T3 or 2 I blast the crap out of them.

That sounds like a good ideal. However enfeeble is as reliable as iron arm. You might not get it. However with Biomancy all the powers is really good but the last one, which you can use the 4 shot ap 2 shot, keeping that in mind you can't really go wrong.

On you heralds I would get 2 lesser etherblades. That way you can re roll one hit and have an ap 2 weapon in combat.

Looking at warp speed it would be really good on your prince or greater daemon. In fact you should get the Eternal Blade with that power. If you do so than that would be +d3 ws, +2d3 attacks, +2d3 I.

Your prince can be ws 10, 11 attacks, 10 I, and your Unclean one can get WS 9, 11 attacks, 10 I.

What's cool about all that if you get two specialist weapons that's and extra attack and + 1 on the charge for 13 attacks possible on the charge.

Although by doing so you have to take an exhaulted with 2 lesser, or 1 greater.

Don't forget about the Nurgle powers. You have two that wound on 4s with ap 3.


Waaaghpower

Just think about a Daemon Prince with iron arm, enfeeble, and the Eternal Blade...
Needless to say, I plan on my prince functioning as a beat stick. The Unclean one I'm gonna give a Grimore and have function as a tank/support. (That also kicks butt in close combat.)
And I figure, with 2 Mastery 3 amd 2 Mastery 2 psykers, I'm going to be getting at least a couple enfeebles. (1-2. All I need.)

Thinking about it, does the Daemon Prince really need wings? You can't zoom if he deep strikes... then again,  he doesn't have to deep strike, but... hmm.
If I drop his wings (and maybe the steeds for the Heralds,) I'd have some free points...

Yes give him wings.

If he deep stirkes he can still zoom. If you go first you can zoom before he is shot at.

The vector strikes and flying ranged attacks makes it worth gettings rings plus the snap shots.
