Horned Gobbo - Jinx list


I'm crafting up a Jinx list as to the scarier of the lists for me.. There is a lot of filth at this tournament, very hard selection of lists. One or two softer lists but 80-90% really hard.

The underachievers. These are the people who have the goods to get it done but need to focus on the ball - Nic Jebson, Simon Switzer, Hamish Gordon, Joel van de Ven-Long ( I swear his name gets longer each tournament).


Scariest Lists for me.

#5 BOTWD crutch on white lions list. There are 3 of these; hide army behind line of white lions and chars in white lions. Graeme Fry, John Murrie (this is like revenge for Runefang isn't it?), Hugh Dixon are off my christmas list.

#4 Orcs and gobbos, level 4 SO shaman, double doom diver, double rock lobber, double mangler. I think it's now for O& G to shine. Special mention goes to my wife for taking 80 poison shots. Jeff and Fern are taking these lists.

#3 Dan B - I changed my mind about this one. One of the only lists taking lore of Metal. Both lizards are playing light and there is 5 CW armies.

#2 Thomas Van Rockel - All the toys double deathstars and 3 x2 Mournfang Cavalry. List is tight.

#1 "Hamish/Pete Abomination" list although Pete has tried and tested filth list, 94/100 pts out of last tournament with this list. Special mention for Locky's Twin Towers as should be fun.


I'm taking my fluff list again. Need top 10 to be in running for Masters. That's what I'm aiming for and to have fun. Most important to have fun, be hard, but have fun.

Horned Gobbo List - Nurgle Daemons...again.

So I did fairly well at the last tournament getting 4th out of a field of 28, It's been a really busy month so haven't painted much more of my Nurgle army. I've only changed a few things, added 1 extra beast and dropped my Nurglings plus put plague proboscis on my Plague drones and a standard to add extra boost for Blood and Glory..

Great Unclean One, level 4 Nurgle, Exalted Gift, Lesser Gift
Herald of Nurgle, BSB, Greater Gift
Epidemius
29 Plaguebearers w/ full command
20 Plaguebearers w/ full command
5 Beasts of Nurgle
1 Beast of Nurgle
1 Beast of Nurgle
5 Furies of Nurgle
5 Furies of Nurgle
3 Plague Drones, Plague Proboscis, Standard bearer, Gleaming Pennant

Again got my anvil of 29 Plaguebearers, 20 Plaguebearers as a utility/watchtower unit, an absolute tarpit and a bit of punch in 5 Beasts of Nurgle, strong punch with GUO and probable Eternal Blade, Chaff and utility with two single beasts and furies of Nurgle, and Epidemius to toughen out the army. Plague Drones are fairly strong and tough as well so will be most likely shoving them forward or towards a flank.

I really need to remember to roll to add plaguebearers for spell kills.

I'm overall happy with the list, it's an all comers army and not too cheesy, If I do the same as last tournament I'll hopefully get into masters. Just have to stay away from High Elf players this tournament and kill the rest of their crap.
