So, uh, seven years later...the newest player in our (BB2020) league is a huge Nurgle guy (AOS, 40K, KT). Loving playing his Nurgle team! Psst...it's a Fouling thing.
We only talk about him behind his back.
Only because I love to quote myself...
For the record, our new guy playing Nurgle is enjoying himself partly because we decided a couple of leagues ago to make it easier for
all (especially NEWB's) to
start with fun to play teams.
You know how many times a team build falls just shy of "perfect" for want of 5K to 50K more gold? Well, we all start with a magical 1,050,000 gold. It works!
Also, it can be hard for NEWBS (or, anyone) to first get the right skills on the right players. Especially those just learning about SPP's, and desirable skills, and who needs'em. Anyway, to give them a leg up, we
all get 2 Primary skills for the initial build. This saves Nurgle about 5 of the 10 or so games it takes for them to be truly competitive.
Yes, tournament's do this. Yes, I AM
The Man who Re-invented the Wheel. But, it works, and no one complains. So, a new Nurgle team with a bit of a boost can be fun.
