Chaplain Corvid Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hey everyone I have recently started to collect the death guard and wanted to know what everyone like to play most. It doesn't have to be the most competitive but what you like most. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359231-favourite-unit-to-play/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
McElMcNinja Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I enjoy running a pair of plague busses follwed by a DP w/arch and blades. I have a Blightspawn and 9 PM in one and then a Blightspawn, Putrifier, and 8 PM in the other.

Imren Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 DG is very strong in Zone Mortalis. DG terminators (grave wardens and deathshroud) are the strongest legion specific terminators in the whole game bar Sekhmet terminators i general and their strengths come to shine even more in ZM. Also chem munitions make the heavy flamers event stronger in ZM and very strong in regular games as well. So I think an average DG player strive to have a unit of each of the following on top of their regular troops choices (tacticals or assault squads): Grave wardens Deathshrouds Heavy support squad with heavy flamers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359231-favourite-unit-to-play/#findComment-5408486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Loki Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Imren is referring to the Horus Heresy units rather than the 40k ones We still get Deathshrouds but they have slightly different rules in the 40th milienium I like plague marines. It's not really death guard if there aren't plague marines Also my 3 little fart carts (mephitic blight hawlers) hewwwey, de'yewy and l'uwey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359231-favourite-unit-to-play/#findComment-5408548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imren Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hehe, yes, sorry, I obviously misunderstood, thinking you asked for 30k units rather that 40k units!

helterskelter Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Foul blightspawn and biologus Putrifier as a pairing, i love the Blightspawns spooge gun, i killed a repulsor with it, and then he gives his grenade to the putrifier for entertainment value mostly as I've not had a great roll with its 2d6 yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359231-favourite-unit-to-play/#findComment-5408896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Corvid Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Imren I want to one day get into 30k but at the moment no one in my area plays it and forgeworld minitures are so expensive.

TonyH122 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I also love taking Plague Marines, but despite having a CC squad, I haven't figured out how to get them to work. How are you running them? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359231-favourite-unit-to-play/#findComment-5416310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Officer Doofy Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I like my plague marines, I do 5 man squads with 2x Blight launchers, comes out to 100 points on the dot. They can advance and shoot without the -1 penalty to hit, usually start near a Noxious Blightbringer so they get a better advance roll and reroll the wound rolls of 1 for being plague weapons. I often have a Daemon Prince with arch contaminator with fugaris' helm nearby, so they can reroll all wounds.

How are you running them? Mine were in a rhino. I made sure that there were lots of targets first tho. Plague burst mortars in view, blight hawlers. Blightlords. Also made sure there was a second squad of plague marines ready for all comers! Rolled up hard and fast and started hitting things as soon as I could!

Raktra Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I have mine in a Rhino with a Tallyman, seven guys. Two flails, four axes, and a fist on the Champion. They get underestimated all the time, it’s great. I don’t do anything tricky with them, just brute force.

MegaVolt87 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 As a termi fan boi I am very jelly that DG get two nice termi units for 30k, Typhon is also a good looking character sculpt IMO.
