Death Guard Possessed

I know possessed don't get any benefit from DG legion tactics, but I wonder how it would play out to have a unit of 20 screened by poxwalkers rushing the board. I would plan to use the strategem so they cannot be shot at every turn.

 

Anyone have much possessed play lately? the bump to 2 wounds seems pretty decent and they are cheaper than plague marines.

I suppose not having plague weapons really limits the army synergy now that I think about it.

I'd rather spend the points somewhere else.  

 

Unless you just really like them?  Then go for it, but I think Plague Marines kitted for CC would do better in the long run.

Yeah, about the only thing Possessed have going for 'em is their two wounds but Plague Marines properly kitted out for melee strike me as far better for the cost. 

 

Vanilla CSM units in general really seem to suffer from GW going "well... I guess you could use 'em if you have to, but we'd rather you bought the new Moldius Possessionhive version instead."

That actually sounds like an awesome unit. 27 points but now with access to Poxwalker ability.
