I'm still waiting to see what Deathshroud stats are and how many are in a unit.

I'm still waiting to see what Deathshroud stats are and how many are in a unit.

[Bloody Legionnaire]

I started a thing! My first steps into Nurglehood. 

 

 

 

Early WIP and the head used on both figures is a stand-in until I figure out what to replace both their heads with. 

Thanks for posting these up bud, answers the questions I had about using MkIII helmets with DG. That doesn't look bad proportionately at all

[Daemon2027]

The names are copyright-able. It's why Plague Zombies are called Poxwalkers and Chaos Space Marines are called Heretic Astartes now (and Imperial Guard are called Astra Militarium...Eldar are Aeldari...)

Yeah I get that, still doesn't make them any less dumb! Oh and I still love the models.

Could Mortarion's Lantern ability be a way to deal with AM's conscript wrapped Commissar?

[Gratan]

I've started my descent into Death Guard. I've gotten the Dark Imperium set and Plague Brethren for my birthday this week. I've already got First Strike, so I'll be working on those while I wait for the rest to ship. 

 

With all the illness, infections, and weird diseases I've gotten over the last 7 years, Death Guard seems like a natural fit for me lol

Bloat Drone Lawmower, Plague Scythes, Mortal Wound auras... Death Guard are shaping up to be THE anti-horde toolkit.

[Hathor42]

A small unit of marines lobbing grenades at conscript blobs using the stratagem will be fun 7d6 every 6 to wound causing a mortal wound with that elite hero. (I like taking units of 7 hehe)

Not to mention drop in a unit or 2 of Deathshroud terminators to use their silent bodyguard special rule to keep Morty protected..

They are cool, but so expensive I think I will rather take blight haulers to give morty a 2+, and use the stratagem on him to make him untargetable when he gets focused.

[Bloody Legionnaire]

They are expensive, but when you can get dirt cheap troops to fill out those slots things balance pretty well. I'm pretty sure the Drones are pretty cheap as well... I think  you could easily fit 2 units of Deathshroud in a list along with Morty. 

[Hathor42]

I like the idea of those little drones rolling along behind a wall of zombies lobbing missiles. Can you use the cloud of flies stratagem on them? Probably not but would be cool.

The vision in my head is a wave of Poxwalkers trailed by 3 haulers screening 3 units of plague marines, all marching inexorably toward the enemy lines. Behind the Plague Marines is 1 or 2 Crawlers adding support, while squads of Blight Drones to either flanks.

Sounds right, but do Morty and Typhus lead from the front or from the back?

 

I think I vaguely recall in the fluff they could be found right in the front lines (hence their terminator armor) which inspired their men.

No clue, I wasnt planning on using either. At least, not for a long time. 

 

Just everybody and their grandmother are going to be running both Morty and Typhus ad nauseam.... I wanted to be different. ;)

[Plaguecaster]

I love the Death Shroud though I probably won't be running Typhus or Mortarion so most likely they be used to keep my Plaguecaster or Necrosius alive, can the silent bodyguard rule be used against mortal wounds???

Well I have always run Typhus, since he was my first HQ purchase. Morty I do feel a little awesome with cheese having him hold my hand (stinky cheese). I just want to hurt all those conscripts so bad. So many conscripts, so little time.

[Panzer]

Lots of GW naming conventions are pretty stupid, especially lately with their desire to come up with original names to copyright everything. The DG actually christened their support vehicles 'plagueburst crawlers' and 'myphitic blight-haulers'? Alright, sure. Seems real easy to wrap a deteriorating tongue around those names.

 

Do we know what the 'foul blightspawn' are? (as opposed to the cuddly blightspawn or the beauteous blightspawn)?

 

 

If it is like it has always been, then the names are how the Imperium calls those things. T'au as well don't name their units all kind of fish names, they have a combination of letters and numbers for their vehicle and suits. "Hammerhead" or whatever is what the Imperium calls them.

Just wait until Emperor's Children get their stuff. Traditionally the thing they were always good at was killing things weaker than them (aka hordes). :P

[Panzer]

Seems like they are intercepting hits, not wounds or damage. So depending on the mortal wound causing ability, they should be able to intercept those.

I love his new model, but I wont be able to afford either for quite some time. I'm pretty limited to just the models from Dark Imperium, First Strike, and Plague Brethren for now. Unless I can sell my Dark Angels and Crimson Slaughter, I'll be playing small limited games. 

[bozo69pd]

yeah I just had to drive over to 3 different clients houses and rub their butts to afford my DG credit card bill.

As the perfect legion, everything is weaker than them. ;)
