Also, there is a Nurgle item that can kill whole units, so watch out for it. I forget its name, but any Nurgle Herald, and prolly the GUO can have it, so up to 4 in an army. Its a 30ish pt. gift that is a bound spell that makes you take D6 Toughness tests with no armor saves allowed. Then you roll another T test, if you fail then you take a further D6 until you pass. I've seen elves of all shades decimated by this. A DE lord on a Black Dragon took like 30 hits from it and died, the dragon too!. It was Terrible. Watch out for any Bound Spells at all!
Hum...
Staff of Nurgle
Bound Spell Power Level 3
This rod can cast the Rancid Visitation spell once each Magic
phase.
This is a magic missile with a range of 24".
Rancid Visitation causes D6 Strength 5 hits.
The target must then immediately pass a Toughness test (using the lowest Toughness if there is more than one value in the unit) or suffer a further D6 Strength 5 hits.
This continues until the target is destroyed or passes a Toughness test.
So please don't mix stuff up.
You take toughness tests until you pass one (thus a Dragon and its elf lord would need a 3 or less to pass).
For each failed test you take D6 S5 (randomized as shooting) - there is no mention of "no armor save" and it is more than 30 pts - but yeah up to 4 in a normal 2000~2999 pt army.
