Hooray for freedom of attachments!

 

Boo for no Daemon trait. I'll go Heldrake, thanks.

 

Ork and DE warlords? No room, got better things to spend resources on.

So is his purpose to be a host for Cloud Of Flies?  When compared to chaos elites in the same price range I agree he doesn't seem worth it especially since he isn't a demon.

 

I would like to point out that he's a valid target for Fetid Haze, which is interesting.  I don't know if it's good, but that does make him interesting.

* Cloud of Flies

* Fetid Haze

* Plague Banner?

* Ominous Wind

 

I have played him in a couple games, and what he really did help in burning shield cards as each attack requires two cards for shielding.

 

Needs more testing.

I wonder if he's good with Zogwort?  I mean, in theory, he's good with swarm offense, and Zoggy provides the swarm without additional cards or cost...  Also, as a minor side benefit, any enemy units that trigger things on destroying a unit "by an attack" will have their attacks fizzle on your 1 HP units.

Not in my mind. There's the broader economy to think about, and Zog/chaos works because of a combination of STC, Promise to Glory and Splintered Path Acolyte, which is why we run Possessed and Venomous Fiend, which is in turn why we run Turbulent Rift.

 

If we're looking for a big dude that only STC can discount, and a deckshape that supports that, then we need more command and that means AM allies. And even if we stick with chaos allies, if we're spending 7R normally on an elite with no daemon discounting, then we can get much better efficiency and synergy out of the 6R Big Shoota Battlewagon (who makes Launch Da Snots awesome) or the 6 cost Squiggoth Brute, who has +3 more attack for 1 less cost, and doesn't die so easy.

 

Yeah, maybe there's a deck here that can use this card, and because of Nurgle trait its probably Ku'gath, but I'm struggling right now.
