Boys in black - death co discussion

[greatcrusade08]

Hi guys

im quite liking the idea of running an all death company army. In fact its a good way to repurpose all those reivers ill never use.

I guess other than to take non DC units and paint them black with red crosses, it limits us to being very close range.

Assuming 2k, how would you build a DC army? and would you use lost brethren or not?

Would you limit yourself to only DC units or not?

I wouldn't use lost brethren as I feel like it's mostly meh.  You also don't need the battle line addition to still fill out 2k points with DC and DC adjacent units.

 

Here's my "Herding cats" list, only missing 10 DC to actually run it;

Probably would switch the Intercessors with Bladrguard at this point. Them with a Chaplain is nice.

 

Not a competitive list but it will smash face.
