Plaguecaster Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Couldn't take it against everything though like we can now since instant death and other stuff did ignore it. A 4+ Disgusting residence would be awesome could you imaging the hate and envy Deathguard players would get because of it :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335290-new-death-guard-in-8th-edition/page/5/#findComment-4831999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurgleprobe Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Wouldn't that be a very fitting Strategem for DG tho, for one unit this turn they may add +1 to their Resilient roll. :)Really looking forward to what kind of strategic options DG will get in that sense.

the jeske Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 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.

Ashe Darke Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I can see Morty allowing rerolling failed DRs of 1 within 7 inches. And I agree with Jeske that a -1 to hit modifier will come into play.

Prot Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 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.

bozo69pd Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 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. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335290-new-death-guard-in-8th-edition/page/5/#findComment-4832948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hopefully MoN will give DR to things that don't have it such as princes etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335290-new-death-guard-in-8th-edition/page/5/#findComment-4833132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashe Darke Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 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?

Marshal Loss Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If I were a betting man I'd say that DR will be an army-wide rule for DG either way - our version of Legion rules/Chapter tactics.

Charlo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Meh, it's alright since we are getting "legion tactics" now. I would wager that DG probably won't be in the Chaos book and instead be in their own. Potentially the same for 1KSons too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335290-new-death-guard-in-8th-edition/page/5/#findComment-4833535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 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.

Lord Asvaldir Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 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.

MoGuy Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 What do you think which Termi unit we'll get? Either Grave Wardens or the Deathshroud...

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.

Hellex_The_Thanatar Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 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.
