Opinions on these units and changes (if any needed)?
Great Unclean One
WE 15cm Armour 4+ CC4+ FF4+
Nurgling Swarm (base contact) (assault weapon) EA(+1)
Stream of Corruption (15cm) (small arms) EA(+1)
AND 15cm 3 BP Ignore Cover
DC4

So doing a comparison the GUO looses ignore cover on it's extra FF attack, looses it's +1 extra CC attack for the nurglings and looses expendable (which all other GDs in the tournament pack have)?
Can you explain the reasons for these change Steve? I wasn't aware the GUO was felt to be overpowered or in need of reductions. It would be a shame to loose the Ignore Cover FF in particular as it seems very appropriate for the small arms attack, as it's basically a stream of vomit so wouldn't really be impeded by cover, in a similar way to a Heavy Flamer.
I'd rather leave the existing stats unless there's a very strong reason to change it. No MW seems fine to me, it does have one more DC and attack than other GDs after all.
Your Plague Tower stats look identical to the existing ones, am I missing something? I have never used one, but have thought about the options and don't think it looks that worth it. I'd choose Contagion Engines over it every time as they can garrison and be in range turn 1 while a direct fire 60cm gun on a slow 15cm move transport doesn't seem that great.
