===Buying and designing your army===

Honestly Daemons kinda got left out in this book.  Most of their characters only benefit other Daemons and not other armies, and they really don't have a whole lot of obvious synergy with other armies either.  The real winners here are the Beastmen players (all two of <s>them</s> us) and to a lesser degree Warriors of Chaos.

The first step is choosing what direction you want to go with your Lords and Heroes. With a plethora of Nurgle HQs released, and three whole books of lords to choose from - picking your general dictates the route that your army goes.  Want to go Festus?  Take a block of warriors as core and faster units to tie up combat while they footslog it to charge range.  Want to go with the Maggot Lords?  Take charge redirecters to ensure you close and murder as quickly as possible.  Take a killy combat lord, a level 4 mage, and a BSB?  Take a warshrine for some bufftacular action.  Essentially this is the End Times.  It isn't about being incredibly competitive and breaking the game. While easy to do this makes people hate you and become "clumsy" when they pick up your $100 Glottkin model, letting it fall to the floor and shattering into a million pieces.  It is about having a ball with some awesome batshit insanity that comes from combining three different armies.  So pick a theme, flavor the fuck out of it, paint up your dudes, and kick some ass.

As far as buying goes the usual staples still apply.  Ebay, Amazon, third party stores, and mini trading sites.  The army bundles "Cohort of Nurgle" is awesome for anyone getting into Daemons of Nurgle, but it is better for Daemon players. Obviously.  The Warriors of chaos bundle is easy to overlook, but the Beastman one has promise - thirty gors and twenty bestigors are a pretty nice boost.  It's an excellent place to start but thanks to the inclusion of the cygor/ghorgon you will probably never want more than one.  Best route still has to be battalion boxes.
