Starting a new army

[Silver fang]

Hi guys,

 

So, after a lot of deliberation, I've settled on the Death guard.

 

Is there anything that work really well in the army or anything I should avoid?

 

I'm thinking of a Legion Praetor and a couple of tactical squads as a start.

 

Cheers

As always with these kinds of threads, my advice stays the same. Read all 3 books first. Just so you don't spend a bomb on models and paint them to change your mind a couple of months later

Death Guard are an infantryman's dream. Start with a tactical squad blob and go from there depending on what you like, and be sure to read the section on the Death Guard in Betrayal (and the Massacre additions) that really lay out how the legion operated.

Indeed, as above; do your homework. I've spent enough over the last couple of years, and started so many projects that I'm only now doing the army I should have done in the first place.

 

Obviously try not to go for any choices that are a bit meh *cough cough* dreadnought talon *cough cough* but do an army you want to do, not what the forums say are always the only choices to take in an army

Welcome to the Heresy, brother.  :)

 

And as Grand Master said, to hell with what the interwebz says is optimal. Build what sounds fun. Being able to swap your flamer weapons for Chem Weapons is a awesome plus to being a son of Mortarion. A squadron of Preds with ChemStorm throwers would be insane, and fluffy as all get out.
