HeinzD Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hey you guys, thought id share another DG list for some feedback. 2500pts death guard List with the Creeping Death RoW. The plan is to lay some firepower on my opponent as i slowly secure the board with hard to shift units. Typhon goes with the gravewardens (which are troops in this list, can only select them as heavy support on battlescribe) , one of the apothecarys joins the deathshroud, the other joins the 20 man tactical squad. The siegebreaker will hang out with the Hss to give them sunder. Let me know if you got anything youd change! ++ Crusade Force Organisation Chart (LA - XIV: Death Guard) [2,500Pts] ++ + Expanded Army Lists + Expanded Army List Profiles:: Exemplary Units On, Legacy Units On + Allegiance: + XIV: Death Guard Allegiance: Traitor + Rite of War: + Rite of War: Creeping Death (DG) + HQ: + Calas Typhon [200Pts]: Warlord .

Billy Butcher Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Unless you can't (i.e. already have the squad) I'd change the Autocannons for Lascannons - I'd be wanting ranged AP2 firepower myself, I'd probably pay for the cost by dropping a few grave wardens.

Lascannons are a pretty good recommendation, thought about dropping the scorpius squadron though, i think i want to keep the autocannons though, they are being joined by the siegebreaker and gain sunder, makes them pretty damn good against vehicles, they are even able to score pen's against a spartan with flare shield (or similar), which lascannons cannot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377202-2500pts-death-guard-creeping-death/#findComment-5901497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Cool list which will look great on the table. HSS definitely way to go with Death Guard. I think we have shown in other threads that apothecaries cannot join terminator squads. Or am I mis-remembering the last edition? At the very least I think this will lose some buffs for the unit.

Thank you! Ouh damn, your right, just looked it up, the apothecary cant join any kind of terminator unit, have to make some changes then, i suppose. Any recommendations?

Just treat yourself to a few upgrades on the Tactical Squads? Won’t it be boring painting 20 near-identical miniatures? Bayonets, vexillas, power weapon for sergeant, even artificer armour - all worth it and would add visual interest. And would help differentiate the squads which helps tell a story - “Oh look the sergeant with artificer armour and power spear got killed in a challenge AGAIN whist his colleague armed with a pointy stick and colourful language went on a massive killing spree … isn’t it always the way?” HeinzD 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377202-2500pts-death-guard-creeping-death/#findComment-5903192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably might be worth to run the gravewardens with some more chainfists, i dont really have many answers to dreadnoughts LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/377202-2500pts-death-guard-creeping-death/#findComment-5903211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yeah you should expect to meet 2 contemptors coming your way. Worth running the mathhammer on auto cannons vs lascannons again? Or thinking about re-tooling the leviathan for anti-dread duties?

Hmmm, lascannons are pretty good, but i dont know, it would change the list as id want it, because where would i put the siegebreaker then? He got no other good place in that list. That would change another unit too, or i could leave the siegebreaker, but that would drop the RoW, pretty unsure about that.

LameBeard Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yeah go with what seems like the fit, keep siegebreaker and auto cannons. Now what about the other part of what @Billy Butcher said? Right now you’ve got more than a quarter of your army in those Grave Wardens with Typhon. Are you sure they can get to be where they need to be? Are they overkill? Can they be fed cheap units so they never make their points back? I’m thinking can we slim them down to find a few points for anti-dreadnought tricks. Even a castraferrum of your own?
