The Craziest Death Guard in the World

[Cryptix]

I had the strangest idea just now, and have built a list based on it. According to the rules, any model that is reduced to Toughness 0 is removed as a casualty, yes? Well, I had the brilliant idea that if you combined the Barbaran Thurible, Rad Grenades, Mechanicum Rad Furnaces, and Enfeeble from a Librarian, you could actually remove MEQs from play with but a mean look. It will probably get me killed, but I had to try it. The only problem with this list is a lack of anti-vehicle to pop transports, so anything that won't be killing blobs is killing tanks.

I see one big problem with this idea, and that is that you only have a roughly one in three chance to get the enfeeble power from biomancy. Considering your whole idea hinges around having 4 sources of reducing toughness, seems like a fairly big chance to take. 

 

Plus the whole concept would be a one trick pony, as soon as you used it against someone they'd simply say you can't take relics anymore, which you only can do with your opponent's permission, or they'd just avoid the preator-who regardless really needs a transport so he can get his relic in range. 

 

I guess it could be a fun list once or twice, but relying on such a small gimek to make a list work doesn't really seem reliable to me.
