1k The Inexorable army, going for 2k?

[Blasphem]

Hello guys,

 

With the new codex and the return of my minis from the commision painter I'am back to my lovely Death Guard !

I aim for a wysiwyg army for semi-competitive play, I won't ever go for triple spam of units "cuz they are meta" and I like the number 7 but I still aim for efficiency.

I would like to have your advices about the current list, how to improve it as well as what should I add next. Just a note: Mortarion is my final goal but only once I get 2k+ pts army.

++ Total: [57 PL, 4CP, 994pts] ++

 

Battle plan :

 

The plan is quite simple, plague marines squads going for objectives each assisted by one character from the Foetid Virions.

- The Tallyman squad aims for backline objective and provide fire power with Tollkeeper.

- The Foul Blightspawn squad goes for contested objective aiming for short range fire and counter-charge with Revolting Stench-vats and Arch-Contaminator.

On the other side, Myphitic Blight-haulers are aiming for heavy threats and tanks while escorting Daemon Prince going in for melee and spread Ferric Blight and Contagion.

 

One little picture of my army (wouldnt post more since my actual lightning doesnt deserve them well).

What do you think about it guys?

What should I get to increase my army for Strike Force games (1.001-2.000 pts)?

I was thinking about turning my plague marines for a more melee oriented (and cheaper cost) build while adding a Biologus Putrifier, one squad of Blightlord Terminators build for fire support (assisted by the Tallyman) to sit on an objective, a few Poxwalkers for backfield area denial and screening, one PBC and one more Myphitic Blight-hauler for fire support and maybe a Fleshmower Bloat-drone for a bit more punch escorting the Daemon Prince.

 

That would be somethink like that :

++ Total: [109 PL, 9CP, 1,995pts] ++

 

Another way would be to split the army in two Patrols to have more troops/elite/fast attacks slots and be able to take a second Lord of the Death Guard (like another Daemon Prince or a Lord of Virulence but I dont know if it worth -2CP.

Any toughts?

Don't sacrifice anything for introducing the 2nd DP. They are not they used to be. DP is still OKay, but need investing CP for toys(surppating plate, wl traits) to be OKay.
