Unfavoured son. Mortal herald of nurgle. Host of the destroyer hive..... Typhus is a lord of contagion Plus. He is a pysker and has a shooting attack from his destroyer hive Also has a lead role in the Terminus Est army list. So plague brethren - have at him!

So I've gone far enough I think it's fair to start an official BnC Hobby Thread! Without Further delay, it's obvious what this is for, so let's get into it: Links to Pictures: + The First 5 Plague Marines with my new scheme: +LINK+ + The next Batch of WIP's, including Typhus, and a couple of characters, also some vehicles in this picture: +LINK+ + Blight Haulers finished! +LINK+ + Poxwalkerd done, and some Blightlord WIP's: +LINK+ Links to Battle Reports in 8th Edition: + 2000 points of Death Guard featuring the new Myphitic Blight-Haulers going up against Tyranids in Maelstrom of War: +LINK+

I'm struggling to make a list I like, and that will function against some of the regular opponents I see (Astra/Nids/Orks/Marines/Renegades/Chaos/Eldar most often) The problem I'm having is the Myphitic Blight Haulers. They are multi-rolled and are apparently geared to help our Infantry based lists. So really what do we get? At a 142 points (minimum unit size of 1) the unit is not cheap. - Bile Spurt- essentially a very unreliable D3, 12" Heavy Bolter - Gnashing Maw - gives us a CC plague weapon option at -2 AP And the real meat of the shooting: - Frag/Krak missile launcher - Multimelta Special rules and some Intangibles: - Putrescent Fog: Infantry -entirely- within 7" gets cover -. "Tri" rules: Can move and shoot without penalty (so can our Helbrutes) and in squads of 3 BS is increased by 1. (making it passable for shooting) - Daemonic, and Disgustingly Resilient. - They are minus 1 to hit in CC - Dreadnought type wound count = no degrading scale So there's some good stuff there; some subtle, and not so subtle rules, but after experimenting I'm finding against strong opponents I really need to use a unit of 3. That brings the cost of the squad to 426 points! That's... a lot. In fact it's so much I'm having trouble making the army feel complete. So far I like to take a pair of Plague Crawlers. I also like the Bloat Drones, and Blightlord Termies. There's just no way I can fit this stuff in while actually having an 'infantry' to protect. Also the HQ's start to suffer. If nearly 25% of my list is these three critters, it means removing a lot of stuff. I'm curious what you guys think?
