Starting bfg 1.5k plague fleet looking for C+C

[Devaroze]

As the title says I am starting into the game of BFG and want to play a nurgle fleet since all my 40k armies (csm,guard,deamons) are nurgle themed as well. This is what i came up with for my fleet. What do you all think about the list? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.


Terminus est-430
Lord+re-roll-50

carnage cruiser-180
carnage cruiser-180
slaughter cruiser-165
slaughter cruiser-165
slaughter cruiser-165
slaughter cruiser-165

total is 1500

Is your choice to include no frigates due to an agreement between players or just arbitrary?

Is your choice to include no frigates/destroyers due to an agreement between players or just arbitrary? I really enjoy playing with mixed fleets quite a bit more. Gives some variety of movement.

I had a Carnage-heavy Nurgle fleet that did quite well - being able to throw 10 FP at 60cm and 16FP at 45cm with decent speed (25cm) made standing off and pounding away in line ahead formation a valid tactic. Your other cruisers are more close-in oriented, but they're still side-shooters with 16FP at 30cm. They do, however, have a move of 30 instead of 25cm, so you should be dictating the distance most of the time. Add escorts at higher points levels to deal with the inevitable Imperial torpedo threat (it gets too big to ignore).
