Nurgle team start-up

fatgoblin · Post by **fatgoblin** » Sun Sep 10, 2006 3:10 pm

I'm going to start a Nurgle team, but not quite sure how to set up my team. I'm hoping to end up with the following after my first in-season recruitment:

3x Nurgle warrior
2x pestigor
1x Nurgle beast
(rest of the 11 made up by rotters)

With the starting money, I can only afford 5 of the 6 positionals I want. But no matter which I don't buy, that first player will be bought after I earn 80K, cause I will save whatever I don't spend from my initial bank. The question becomes which of the 3 is going to miss the first 2-4 games (our house rules gives everyone 10K more every game)? Assuming none of them dies and I have to replace them.

I'd give up the beast you have plenty of hitting poer already and with your earnings potential you'll soon be able to buy the beast

Drop a Nurgle Warrior. The Pestigores are too important for TD scoring and the Beast really helps keep things in range to bash.

I would buy the beast from the beginning. The way I see it, the Nurgle team is basically a quasi-chaos / undead team, with the novel part of the team being the Beast. If you don't want to go with the beast from the beginning, it would seem like you should go with another team. Also, it looks like the Beast will get SPPs only from CAS and MVP, so the earlier you get him, the more likelihood of him getting MVPs early.

Of course, I've almost no Nurgle experience, so I could very well have no idea what I'm talking about.

Gotta buy the Beast at the start. They really are superb ... Tentacles is a match winner, especially against Elves.

I'd leave out the Pestigor to begin with ... Warriors skill up slowly, so the extra chance of a MVP is always welcome, and it isn't as it you lack for ball carriers with all those Rotters. Pestigors will earn SPPs quickly whenever you buy them.

If I understand correctly, the question is which of the 3 to leave out of the team until he earns the 80K.

The Beast is definitely better than the Warrior so there is no reason to choose it to be left out.

So the choice is between leaving out a Warrior or a Pestigor.

I voted to leave out the Warrior as I think this team needs speed more than strength.

I started out with:

1 Beast
2 Warrior
2 Pestigor
6 Rotters

3RR

30k available for FF or Bank.

I would do it again. Only bad thing is my bad rolling

That's what I've started with. Loving it so far.

hmmm, seems that my 3rd warrior is going to go....

At the moment, I'm tempted with 3 warriors, 4 pestigors and 5 rotters...

Though it has to be said that this is due to not having a suitable mini for the beast
