New Death Guard in 8th edition

when your going to get a StrateGem, it is going to be flies. And either it is going to be lowering the hit chance of a unit or giving a passive debuff to BS to nurgle units being targeted. If you want upgraded DR rolls, it is [if it actually happens] going to be limited to to a relic, so more or less working on one model.

I can see by the space marine codex that the units don't really become earth shattering good with a codex, it's the army rules. I think when the DG codex drops it's going to fill a lot of gaps.

Yeah, but I am certain as others have said it will be along the lines of relentless (no -1 to shooting when moving) and improved Disgusting Resilience (probably from a wargear and from Morty, similar to how Magnus does).

 

As always DG power is in its durability, and they won't ever be tabling the opponent. However if I could get blight grenades, DR, and +1 toughness from mark of nurgle on Havocs I would be thankful. They die tooooooo easily.

In some of Warhammer Live games they have had DR on things that shouldn't have it in a DG army. So either they were getting it wrong or inadvertently telling us that things in DG armies get DR.

 

Personally I hope they weren't getting it wrong.

 

Daemon marks so something right?

Yeah, I expect not to see DG or TS in this codex, though WE and EC probably still will be since their release waves aren't done yet, and their books probably further down the line.  If I were a TS player, I'd probably almost prefer they not be in the book, as that would be a sign that the TS codex was coming sooner, rather than later, in the rotation, though it would mean another month or two stuck with the same three psychic powers.

Maybe a plastic great unclean one? Can't think of what else it might be.

 

I except the cult units like rubricae and plague marines to stay in the standard chaos codex but that's it, none of the special terminators or other unique units.

What do you think which Termi unit we'll get? Either Grave Wardens or the Deathshroud... Or maybe both? :ohmy.:

 

They'll be a nice mix, but It looks like (from the one model at least) that they're a warped mix of Cataphractii & Indomitus.

 

Will have some nice unique shooting weapons as well as scythes or something.

So been trying out different lists and I got to say my staples have been consistently:

 

Typhus this man is a beast. He wins out against most any opponent. He's so durable and good. His weapon is amazing. I wish I had a way to get him to str8 but still be is incredible.

 

Pox walkers the fearless objective swarming bodies. I don't think I can add to what has been said about how awesome these are.

 

Leviathan, with butcher array and either claw with hellflamers. Nothing likes tangling with this guy. I literally dropped two charging carnifex, who lost a lot of wounds to over watch and then were polished off by the claw. Holy damn. He munched his way through bugs and proceeded to butcher the last wounds off of swarm lord. I will have a leviathan in every list. Just so amazing.
