Plague champions 3rd Armour upgrade ideas (brainstorm)

[Swift]

The lord has spoken. Since that is the case I think that ranged buff armour would be something very interesting to see.

[Phantom Revenger]

Ranged buff armor is probably the most interesting thing to do with him to be honest. While making him into Typhus could be fun, it's not like he's lacking for tanky melee builds with Armor of Pestilence and either the Sword or the Fist.

That's why although I was going for Destroyer Hive with Infestation of Nurgle, I sort of made it range-focused (I say sort of because I realised that the ability could just as much be used on a melee PC. Charge in, drop the ability and suddenly all the stuff you're fighting is taking damage from the flies and the enemy finds it harder to shoot down the PC).

If I could suggest anything it'd probably be either the range buff armor or a new ranged weapon option. Give the PC the option to go defensive with Nurgle Shrines, turrets and worship.

I like the sound of that. means the spewer might actually find utility rather than always being swapped out after gen bashing.

Bile Spewer is good early games/situationaly. Don't you underestimate it. It can do more than just bashing gens.

I am speaking about the late game. It makes incredible impact early on but late game gets swapped out.

Melee Blobs, Lotsa Ranged enemies etc

[Swift]

BE QUIET! Let Swift sound like he knows what he is talking about

During late game Bile Pewpewer is pretty good against stuff like Seer Council, Nobz, Termies etc (strong) melee units.

+1 Indrids war-gear idea

[Broodwich]

If the idea is to give him something to counter snipers better, then it will have to be t1.

Probably something similar to mcb, but with a more plaugey ability

[Swift]

Indrid's idea is probably the best so far.

My favourite part of the Typhus model has to be the weird Nurgling licking the horn at his foot.

[Superhooper01]

All hail Typhus bearer of the destroyer hive! na swift Caeltos says no good still hope to see indrids war-gear idea or one of mine looked at as a good change.

[Nurland]

If the great Kal-Eltos has decided against the swagminator armor I think something to make him more viable ranged commander would be nice.

That is what we have been discussing.

The Plague Champion's only role is counter-initiation. Period. And he is incredibly good at this role. The best anti-melee hero in the game, I can say that with no doubts. Yes, ranged army compositions give him troubles and so what? He needs weaknesses. That is one. All his wargears are about countering melee units. Absolutely all of them but the breathe of Nurgle. Do we want to move over from his design and give him abilities that would overlap with other heroes? Since it is balance section I vote for not changing him at all. Although I would be glad to bring some differentiations in his gameplay, I don't think it is necessary balance-wise.

[Swift]

I really dislike the use of period to end a sentence, it doesn't sit with me like full stop, it just sounds so unfinished and leaves me hanging.

Ooooooonnn topic...

I still think just one thing to help vs range is no bad thing, he isn't like the Fc who can teleport to counter range, he really relies on being ,melee, so it would be nice to see a small blend in roles.

[Batpimp]

I just hope he can get a ranged weapon that is NOT the bile spewer.

Would be much more appreciated to make him more "nurgly" by making him more like a PM bolter ranged dot dmg.

[sk4zi]

i would like to see a rocket launcher for him. maybe with an option for a frag Rocket like the nurgle pred shoots. (i mean the effect and aoe dot - not the damage )
