For those of you who follow my project log you know I've been reworking my Death Guard army with loads of Forgeworld goodies and theming it as an early post heresy force, about 1,000 years after the Horus Heresy.

I have a 2,000 point list that takes some liberties with this theme in regards to units, such as using Obliterators. In addition to that list I wanted to come up with a more pure Death Guard list that holds to the classic tactics and units used by the Death Guard.

Shooty dread is unreliable for chaos. I'd swap it for something like another Vindicator and drop 1 plague marine to pay for it, or do something. Oblits, devs, anything that doesn't go crazy.

Yeah, I know the Dread can go nuts but I may swap it for another vindicator. I don't want Oblits in this list because I run 4 in my other DG list and it doesn't work for the theme I'm going for in this list.

I want to keep the PM squads in units of 7, so I could swap a PF for a PW and then I need 5 more points from somewhere to get the second vindicator in there.
