McElMcNinja Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I've picked up a second DP and am in the process of painting him now. I'm having troubles convincing myself to add the Spewer, I want to think it could be useful. I think running 2 DP together, both with spewers, and a couple spitter drones. Give 1 of the DP Arch Contaminator, that's 6d6 auto hits with rerolling all damage, that would soften up a lot before charging in. Maybe back them up with a unit of Blightlords or a bunch of Plaguebearers? On another note, does Typhus truly only hit on a 5+ or can it not be modified past a 5+?

Prot Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I often run my DP with 2 spitter drones. They make a helluva Trifecta. The DP is insulated against assaults and is capable of counter assaulting if a drone gets in trouble. Since the FAQ the idea of the DP having that extra hitting power is definitely enticing. (With wings of course). I don’t know if the points support it but I can say if I was play testing for a tournament, I think a good experiment would be 2 units set up like that. So 2 spitter drones and a Winged DP each. Post FAQ a lot of people will feel cozy with no deepstrike, but this is an idea I’ve had myself to put a lot of early pressure on someone. Advancing all these units T1 against a gunline could be devastating.

SkimaskMohawk Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Yes, "always hits on a 5+...regardless of any modifiers" does in fact mean that he always hits on a 5+ and it can't be changed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5061915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 2 flying claw DP's and 3 spitterdrones plus cultists and zombies with Typhus is the OP, especially after FAQ. I'll be testing DP's with spewers later this week. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5062313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Loki Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Okay so if we were to take the plague sewer what would the best choice of close combat weapons be? The way I read it it replaces a close combat weapon so you are left with just 1 sword, axe or talon I suppose sword or talon as the spewer would be best used on infantry so the number of attacks are probably more important than the strength Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5062410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I'm pretty sure that the way it is written means that you can take a plague spewer in addition to its base loadout of a sword and claw but if you take the spewer then you can not swap the sword Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5062423 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozo69pd Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Mine seemed to do OK in a smallish (1250 points game) where I actually sent the DP at targets where I wanted to use the sword anyways (Raiders and Venoms). I had given this WL the arch contaminator trait cuz the spewer is only str 5 which is kinda weak, and he had his 3 spitterdrone entourage to give them rerolls and provide ablative wounds. In general all purpose games though I think flying claw DP still best.

Wolf Lord Loki Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 It kinda funny that it's only now that a warlord Daemon Prince with arch contaminator can benefit from his own warlord trait Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5063641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Good point. That's a nice piece of kit missing from his arsenal. Still want to try the trifecta build... 2 Spitdrones + Spewer DP x 2.

But what about 3 spewer DP, 3 spitterdrones, and 3 units of zombies. 3x3, and it is nice that the battlions give +5 CP now too. Theres still points for another Nurgle daemon battalion with heralds and plaguebearers/nurglings. Nurgle is in an excellent place right now, and we have nurgling deployment to shore up the weaknesses of not having turn 1 DS.

philsminions Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Just saw this today. Funny, I was list building something like this over the weekend. Battalion Chaos Lord - Balesword, Combi-bolter, Arch Contaminator, Fugaris' Helm Necrosius - Miasma, Plague Wind, Putrescent V. Poxwalkers x13 Cultists x9 and Champ (autoguns) PMs x4 - blight launchers x2, bolters, knives, icon of despair PM Champ - Plas gun Myphitic Blight-hauler x1 PBCs x2 - spitters, hvy slugger, mortar Outrider 1 DP - Wings, sword, spewer, Putrescent Vit. Bloat Drones with spitters x2 Spawn x1 Outrider 2 DP - Wings, sword, spewer, Putrescent Vit. Bloat Drones with spitters x2 Spawn x1 Battlescribe shows it 2000 points on the nose and 111 PL. I haven't gone back through the book and FAQs to double check yet. My goal was to have two units of DPs and Drones (I initially wanted 3 full drone detachments, but found I had very little left). I chose the plain jane Lord for cheapness and rerolls; not sure if I would leave him as warlord and give him the relic, or hand it off to a DP? Might be nice to have the aura buff for the PMs, Hauler, and PBCs.....might be better utilized with DP and Drones. Pox's and Cultists are cheap fillers; same with Spawn. Right off the bat, I see an issue of taking and holding more than two objectives. May not win a ton of games, but it sounds fun to play.

McElMcNinja Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 The only suggestion I have is giving 1 of the DP Arch-contaminator (and the plate), unless the Lord does babysit crawlers.

DominikB Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’d swap a drone for a crawler as well to meet the rule of 3 criteria tbh and make it ITC legal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5082723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkmate77 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Agreed, you would just have to move the MBH down to the 2nd Outrider detachment to make it viable and then add the PBC to the Battalion.

McElMcNinja Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 So is the DP of Nurgle from the Death Guard Codex considered a different data sheet then the DP of Chaos from the Chaos Index?

Wolf Lord Loki Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 So if we can use the units from the Index, What about jump pack lords/ sorcerers and the like? I'm assuming people are suggesting the Daemon Prince specifically to get warp time? The other versions of sorcerers get access to it too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5084799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 We have access to index units as outlined in the death guard army list area of the chaos index. If it doesn't appear there, you cant assign the death guard keyword to it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346461-dp-with-plague-spewer/#findComment-5084955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
