Nice of you guys to offered exhaustive arguments. It's time I do the same. :)Out of 39 plays with expansion my group had up till now - mostly 4p games, random god draw, but also a few 3p games (Slaan pwns in those) - there were 14 Khorne victories (mainly from early days), 8 Nurgle's, 7 Slaanesh's, 6 Rat's and only 4 Tzeentch's. To me, Tzeentch got nerfed the most, and the results in my group show that - he's often "a bridesmaid, never the bride".
As for Nurgle, maybe I overstated - he's not more effective, but he's at effective as ever. He still easily dominates regions - ULTIMATE PLAGUE is awesome card for that purpose; QUICKEN DECAY is a good source of VPs (when played right of course; it makes horde cards like CONVOCATION or GREY SEER that much harder to utilise, often time leaving opponents no choice than to practically give you 2-3 VPs); CHOCKING STENCH is surprisingly useful, especially when certain OW cards hit the table; also Nurgle's capacity to lay down ruin got astounding indeed.
