3000pts Death Guard

[sonsoftaurus]

Hi all. New to HH 2.0, played a small game or two of 1.0 but long-time 3rd+ed 40K player, so familiar with the basics, if not the new intricacies of HH 2.0 like reactions, the various weapons, etc.

 

Death Guard - Creeping Death RoW

 

The main idea is pretty straightforward, play into the walking advance while still being able to fire with Tacticals and Heavy Weapon squads, brick assaulting out of Spartan since will have them from the starter set.

Tacticals and heavy weapon squads and contemptor walk towards things while shooting, Spartan drives to middle/trouble spot and dumps out. Assault squad reacts where needed or hides behind Spartan in early turns. Despoilers watch back area or move up as needed.

 

I wanted to lean into the alchem weapons as part of the theme without that being all the unit did (like a flamer support squad). Some quad launchers with phosphex probably better than the Scorpius but I love the look and will give some indirect without being quite as oppressive I think.

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice.
