How best to kill T6 and T7 Death Guard?

[Helias_Tancred]

The new Death Guard codex rules have leaked. Looks like Plague Marines will be T6, and their Terminators will be T7. What's going to be the best way to kill these Nurgle-afflicted traitors?

 

Hellblasters initially come to mind, for starters.  Edit: Also anything Dark Angels specific come to mind as good killers of Death Guard?

 

Thanks all.

Aggressors up close could probably handle that pretty well. Things that give lance or +1 to wound like Chaplains will probably be a big help too.

Who are you fielding? Blood Angels are S6 on the charge which will help against regular PMs which Sang Guard, BGVs Van Vets etc are S7 on the charge. Plasma Inceptors will do good work, especially as they are 2D normally and can overcharge to 3D. Even regular Bolter Inceptors are not too shabby thanks to twin-linked. A Vindicator or three is always going to be a solid option.

Plasma and autocannons.

The jump from T6 to T7 isn't that important for the Terminators. The T6 is though for Plague Marines since the S5 Power Weapons you would've used before will be less effective. 

 

All the S4 and S8 you were using, though, will still be effective vs both due to wounding at the same exact rate.

Small quibble - they won't wound at the same rate.  They don't wound on 5's (S5 vs T4), but they also won't wound on 2's (S8 vs T4)

Plaguemarine were t5 since 1990s.
