Running a berzerkerless KDK list. Got gunked up bad by -1 to hit in melee and -1 to wound nurglings. 4W is a very awkward breakpoint for a lot of our stuff, any recommendations on what to do about these?

Its 24W with a 5++, so you’re looking at 12 2W attacks failing save, 18 passing wound (will never be better than 3s, and probably 24ish swings considering most stuff hits on 3s and will go to 4s

6 pack of nurglings is 90 points btw…

Have seen people firing off wild claims that the defiler (specifically csm) can 1 shot a c’tan.

Wanted to throw that math out there
Assumptions: successful pact for sus1, once per game full wound reroll, no offensive/defensive strats
(In order, lascannon-ectoplasm-excru-sum)
(Using virtual dice)

Base: 2.96+1.29+1.85=6.1
Nurgle PBZ: 4.15+2.07+2.22=8.44
Nurgle PBZ+abby+brute: 5.88+2.94+4.15=12.97

So even with ~400 points of supporting models, it is not likely to one shot a c’tan.
