brother_contagion Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I would like to have one of these for my Daemon allies but I would like to know the best strategy to use them, and how could Ku'Gath the Plaguefather be useful? I do like his Necrotic Missiles but only being ML 1 kind of sucks, but for GUO's I could see me using one to sit back in my deployment zone or slowly moving up summoning Plaguebearers and/or Nurglings to take objectives.

Seahawk Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Great Unclean One with ML3 Biomancy is the way to go; nuts to Daemonology. Give that to a herald, and then also give him the portalglyph so that they can't be stopped. Kugath looks cool, but looks are deceiving. The GUO is far better.

hornywingythingy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Guo is as already stated far better. TBH under 7th all the named greaters are a little underwhelming, even my old favourite fatey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I like Ku'gath, but as mentioned, you'll want decent psychic powers, especially biomancy... Iron Arm will make a GUO into a nightmare for anyone not packing loads of poisoned attacks. Endurance and Warp Speed are also very useful. Enfeeble is handy, especially combined with Template/Blast weapons. Even the Witchfire powers have their uses. Ku'gath being only ML1 and not having access to Rewards hurts him. You can make a better GUO for the same points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornywingythingy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 And don't forget cos he counts as having defensive grenades, he can throw them as a blind attack for the lols! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I feel like GUO are really good for slowly advancing on a point now since they can score, and don't have that stupid requirement of not being able to assault for a turn like flying DP. I keep seeing batreps of DP not getting an assault off until like t3 or t4. Might as well take a GUO instead, and its probably more survivable?

SupremeGrandMaster_Daniel Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Generic GUOs are definitely better. I run mine maxed out and it is amazing to just sit back and laugh as my opponent tries to destroy it. However, because it is so slow I would always deep strike it, otherwise your opponent can just avoid it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 what about putting an objective or 2 in cover right in your deployment and having it sit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDevourer Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 GUO is too expensive to just camp an objective in your own deployment, especially considering its threat potential. Ofc if the opponent is playing an assault heavy army you may want to camp your deployment is some scenarios (but lets be honest how many assault armies do you run into in 6th and 7th edition :P ) If you want to camp an objective just throw something cheap with super trooper on it ie nurgling, horrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
