You're spot on for the Nurgle painting, fyi. Base in black, layer up with dark greens, wash with agrax, accent with corrosion effects and clear gloss to make parts look worn and snotty, respectively. Ton of fun to paint.
@@Lethoras yeah, some are very uninspired. Some are even completely useless, like the attrition ones (at least on higher difficulties, AI are basically immune to them).
Maybe marauders with great weapons? cheap and AP. and could give some capture weight. They would be not that cost effective against non-ap missile, but i still think that could work in the build
for an easy way to know how many caps you need to win: If they are ahead and the difference between their score and winning is smaller then the difference between your score and theirs, you need a triple, else a two cap is fine. Example: a) Them 1401 You 1300 = triple cap needed b) Them 1399 You 1300 = double is fine (assuming you could instant cap or already have the two.. so in real life you might need three here.. but you get the point)
I think they just need to implement additional phrase when you look over to score, like, "you're winning" or "you're losing", something basic like that. So you would look and be like "oh, I two cap him and still losing, I guess I need to tri-cap". Something more advanced could be like additional line like "you need 3 points to win from this position" or "your opponent can win on 1 point".
If Plague Drones didn't suck they'd be a great goon squad with a Herald against Hulks and Depth Guard, while chariots harass the gun line. It seems CA was/is really conservative with monstrous cav, whether on the ground or in the air, otherwise Nurgle would have the second best air cav after Bretonnia, Juggers would be more frequently picked, and you'd actually see Ogre cav.
Was thinking the same. Would be especially interesting to see maps that you don't see much in tournaments either. I feel like with the new point values it made even the lane maps more interesting for shooting your oponent of points since you have a bunch more time now. I like those little ledges that you get on maps like the mountains of mourn side points for example. Kind of a fun map now that you have more time.
Yeah he needed the MP nerf, though I am not sure they had to cut the effects in half.... They should have given him a skill in his tree to get the intensity back to full in campaign, however.
My pet idea: Give the full, fat pre-nerf heal and damage values back to Festus, but make it so that they are only enabled if NOT in melee. That way opponents could counter him by dragging him into combat.
The problem is that they gutted him in single player to appease the MP crowd. The majority is punished because of the minority. Festus' whole shtick is his healing & damage auras, which were mutually exclusive, and now he's had his power slashed. What's next? Nerfing Skarbrand for being too strong in melee?
I played a festus campaign pre nerf and his army was basically untouchable. You grab the forts nearby, run up and vassalize azazel- then grab belakor, and make your way back down through vampire counts because the AI won’t not blob on you. Destroy the empire with your vassal stacks and then it’s just cruising
That's the hard part for Nurgle. It can hold objectives fine, and it can take value just fine, but you need to pick your moments to swap from one to the other and that is hard.
13:32 why doesn't the mortis do anything against hulks? It has the same dps against them than against any other non single-entity unit, dps caps at 4 entities right? It would actually be better than against chaff because hulks are more expensive per HP point
Idk I feel they nerfed Festus way to much. His mortis was insanely strong but making it weaker than the counts mortis does not feel right. Great video =)
@@deusvult6164 That is a really awkward thing to say sir. They never balance anything bout this game towards MP. Campaigns are often beaten with your hands tied down and your eyes closed. Yet they want to keep balancing towards that. And my complain about festus being way to nerfed is preciesly towards MP. Nurgle was already a weak race and atm it's even worse.

Why you always need to compare dom vs lb in your videos, saying something about abusing rules and stuff, if all people were honorable playing lb rankeds and follow the rules, lb could be far better than dom. Better maps variety, more fight tactics, more spectacular endgame matches.... Everybody knows dom make new players life easier when you start multiplayer but lb will always be a better game mode.
The fact ypu just have to hope, people play honorably makes it inferior. Humans can't resist annoying their opponent if that helps them winning. Peopöe search for tier lists & OP strats on any game. The fact LoTW gets so many views for cheesy tactics shows this. It is not intended to abuse the AI like he does. Right now DOM is just superior in my opinion
@@zimtwiers9726 I mentioned for rankeds, in current tournaments there are rules to prevent those things, so thats why i said lb is superior in my opinion.
@@sirunklydunk8861 Dom needs rules too, and the problem belongs to CA, instead of making a good multiplayer scene, they prefer to make a lazy game mode which "solves" some of the main problems

Minor whiny complaint: I wish we could see the damage values for each player during these replays.
1256 would have been the turning point to win with two caps and he captured one back at 1232. 5 seconds more and you win😀
Hot take: festus shouldn't have a mortis, he should be like a poison wind globadier. Throw those potions doctor!
Agreed
SEM poison wind globadier
Love to hear your voice after two rough summers for me struggling with different blessings of Nurgle.
Feel better!!
Festus's triple chin is very attractive 😍😊
Nurgle really needs a buff. Even in campaign they are probably the hardest faction to play.
Yup. Waiting on a DLC that might be 6+ months away to fix things is not optimal. The statistics are there both in multiplayer and campaign.
Their plagues in campaign need a big buff. They are really low impact. For the father of plagues it's kinda silly that skaven have better plague.

It's funny that as soon as Nurgle got a strong hero, the MP community demanded he be nerfed.

Two of the coolest factions for someone not obsessed with being meta.

Be nice to see some other maps on occasion. Last 3 uploads have all been Black Ark.

Thanks a lot for ur videos, i learn a lot, and i like dominion, last 2 videos were Bretonnia and Nurgle, My 2 mains factions

Great game I hope you keep trying nurgle and figure them out more, I really think they are a cool faction
Nurgle bless you!
I think you're a real cool dude, Turin. Keep on keeping on.
Would love some beastmen content!

Turin, you need to do a showcase video of your tabletop armies!

This was almost the same build as I played on this map the other day. I miss played and lost though...

It's fine where it is now, it didn't make sense to have it as strong as it was.
Hate it when fun things get nerfed bc of multiplayer in a single player game

Maybe go Festus & double exalted hero build similar to Khorne? Regardless, great game and great content my man 👌
12:51 the spirit of wookie corrupts
@Turin What is the reasoning behind using chariots on the exalted hero as a pose to just a horse?
More efficient against depths !
"Nurgle is about calculation"
*on screen Soulgrinder aiming at nothing*
You can't make this up rofl.
Depth Guard vs Death Guard.
TW: Black Ark at it again
That was a scrappy fight. :D
Glory to the unclean!!!
Damn, intense game! WP!
Need more toads 🐸
This has got to be the smelliest, most disgusting match up, might as well throw the whole black ark to trash after they are done......
Are these Festus nerfs applied in campaign as well?
Yes he was nerfed by half in campaign as well. It's not bad it just makes him an average lord in a below average faction.

Wouldn't it have been better to pound on Noctilus instead of the Crab with the Soul Grinders? I mean, he was right there anyway.
Better finish job started than to have them both alive at half hp.
