nurgle nids gorgon lovin.

[phishtopher]

So, im looking on the hive for gorgon ideas. I did not find much. so i have decided to start doing gorgon and bring them love. 

Firstly this thread is for ways to get the most out of gorgons hive traits. sick little combos no one sees coming.

Second, its for units that can be abused with the 4+ wounding.

I will start, with,,,,,,,,,,,

pyrovores.

these guys have a sick flamer.... but the strength is not great. oh we auto wound on 50% of all our attacks? ok. our flamer has ap? great. So we are not jorm. So we can't jump in with out a tyrannocyte but if we take the camo adaptive we actually have a chance to make it up the board if we jump from building to building. 

I look forward to your insane ideas.

ps. the +4 wound trait works for shooting and fighting.

Termagants with spinefists or devourers supporting tervigon come to mind. You have access to no penalty on run n' gunnin' with devourer termagants... The pistols look a lot better to me price wise and can be used in melee wich gives you more dice per turn, but I don't actually know how 'advance' and 'pistol' interact, and I think the best way to play this fleet would be hard pushing swarms with support elements doing scouring and/or heavy duty.

Another unit that comes to mind is raveners, I'd put devourers on these guys for 5 shots each and opt for scytals for 7 melee attacks apiece while also sporting -1 to hit in melee.

I'd skip on the tyrant in this army and opt for primes, broodlords, and/or neurothrope.

I would also have a good sized warrior unit with devourers and dual boneswords, probably ag too since there will be vehicles that need destroying occasionally.
Could see going vcs too but not sure.


Below is a gorgon list idea, no idea how effective it would be, but it has a lot of odds improvement and mostly leans on the 4+ to wound to clear things, and character protection to keep the support/heavy hitters protected a couple turns with some mid sized dice throwers to over whelm elite types with die rolls... Some CP would probably go toward adding gaunts back to units in the early to mid game.could free up some CP if needed.

I am a big advocate for lethal miasma warlord trait. All enemy units within 6" suffer mortals at the start of EVERY fight.

Lethal Miasma is 3” and usually just 1 MW, very low impact.
