With all units being Scoring now, and Troops getting Objective Secured, suddenly Nurglings have caught my eye as about the best Troops choice any Chaos player could hope for. They have Shrouded, Infiltrate, 4 wounds each, and a 5+ invulnerable save. For a flamer less than the price of 10 Chaos Marines. Oh, and did anyone see what defensive grenades do now? Not too shabby I'd say.
Of course they can be insta-gibbed by Str6 weapons, but with a few Biomancy psykers, as Nurgle armies tend to have, a little Endurance on these fellas if needed, and I think they're there to stay. Templates and blasts cause double wounds to Swarms too, but they're so cheap, I think we will (or at least should) see many more of these being used on the table.
Anyone use them yet in a 7th edition game? I haven't liked Plaguebearers for a long time, they just never ever do anything, though I guess assaulting a Land Raider and maybe they can get lucky and glance it to death.
