Orpheus108 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Greetings all plague bros. I'm trying to decide whether or not to include a decimator in my list and which loadout I should take or works best. I'm loving now it has the helbrute keyword which helps a ton with DG. I run pallid hard DG and run it as they are meant to be, lots of heavies Edited February 6, 2018 by Orpheus108 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344154-decimator-worth-it-in-a-dg-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBULENCE Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Wait, since when did the Decimator have the helbrute keyword? I'm pretty sure only the FW dreads proper got that.

Orpheus108 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Sorry my bad, was thinking of the leviathan. But still want to know people's success with itin DG armies. As I thinking of either adding it to either my DG army or TS army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344154-decimator-worth-it-in-a-dg-army/#findComment-5004193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 CC Decimator is great value for its point cost. It has an Invul Save (though no DR) and it’s Flamers do 2 damage. The question is do you have other stuff to support it so that it doesn’t get focused on? If ranged, the Helbrute (because of Fire Frenzy), Predators, Haulers or Crawlers would be better.

DuskRaider Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think the Decimator could be a larger threat in big games where you can afford double Soul Burners, but with the points hike they received it's usually too expensive for normal games.

Prot Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was planning on using my own Decimater woth my Deathguard. I'm not sure about it either. Originally I ordered it with dual Soul burner Petards. However before I even received the product, GW upped the cost of the Soulburner substantially. Now I just don't know. But I tried one or two games with a close combat arm, and a soulburner to get those mortal wounds rolling. The problem I found is peole are so afraid of it, it gets a LOT of attention. I've never made it into CC with it. Maybe one turn of shooting, then dead. It's also right about 200 points, so I really don't know if it's worth it. Hence it remains unpainted, and unclaimed by my Death Guard, nor my Red Corsairs. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344154-decimator-worth-it-in-a-dg-army/#findComment-5007325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Remember though it’s a Daemon and can take the DG keyword so has 5++ and can be affected by Miasma, Fleshy Abundance, Locus, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344154-decimator-worth-it-in-a-dg-army/#findComment-5007490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDuke Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Has anyone tried the c-beam cannon? They look pretty brutal. As you can’t move and fire them you may as well take 2 @150, with a lord near by for rerolls that is some serious long range hurt they can put out. And that is what Death Guard are lacking.
