So with help from this forum i found a word bearers 1000pt list that i had some fun playing. Due to all the options though i am getting cold feet and am torn between Night Lords, Word Bearers and Death Guard.  If anyone could help with the pro's and con's it would be greatly appreciated .   Night lords can do a nasty 1000pt with there rite of war and drop podding volkite terror squads

First off, is this a 30k or 40k list?

 

If this is for 40k, then I would say that for gaming purposes, then here is what I would suggest: treat NL and WB as the same thing for the purposes of Marks of Chaos/affiliations and build your 1k list to include a mix of units from both warbands - unless you want to play strictly according to fluff.

 

The solution to DG is pretty much the same - you can build a list that contains only DG models, or you can build a list that contains a mix of DG units and non-DG units. If you go with the second option, remember that there are both CSM who can take the Mark of Nurgle, and Plague Marines. Both can be considered DG, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Which one(s) you take is completely up to you. Whether you use "actual" DG models from ForgeWorld and GW or simply paint the models you have in DG colors is something you will have to decide on.

 

If you are looking suggestions for 30k, it's a totally different ball game. Although I have never played 30k, what I can say is this: in 30k, each space marine legion is different from every other legion - visually and in terms of its heritage/rules (some more so than others probably). The bottom line here is that 30k NL would not be interchangeable with 30k WB the way they would be in M41.

 

And when all else fails, don't hesitate to proxy in some models until you know exactly what mix of models you want. Sure, you may know what loadouts you want, but do you know what poses, color schemes or sculpts? It would be a real pain to get a bunch of models painted only to decide later on that you didn't really like them that much and that maybe you should have gone with the other warband.

 

Hope this helps to get you started.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if it was a little hard to understand; i have a bad cold right now so my brain is scrambled eggs. I'll try to clarify. 

 

I have ordered some stuff for 30k, i do not want to start a legion though and half way through decide that it was the wrong legion for me. I had the forum help me come up with several ideas for lists for Word Bearers and i did enjoy it. I am having a hard time going all in with Word Bearers though. 

Im currently torn between 
1. Word Bearers

2. Night Lords

3. Death Guard. 

If anyone could give me insight to there play styles or how to start out with Night Lords and Death Guard for 1000pts it would be appreciated. 

Thanks!
