These get 3+ BS. You need 3, but the other abilities it has seem worth it.

**darthryan**

Dont forget a deamon herald will buff the strength by +1 as well and he can heal them with his powers as they are nurgle deamons

**matphat**

I know a lot of people are salty about the art direction of the new DG, but between the marines, drones, and this new hauler, god am I in love with where they are taking the style.

**mmzero252**

There's really no reason you couldn't just use the old Death Guard models if you don't like the new ones. The chaos index shows both versions of plague marines in it after all.

Sure it would suck that you don't get as many NEW things to put on the table, but there's nothing stopping you from using existing models.

Honestly I think all sculpts and art fething rule. The blight-hauler and the Bloat Drone with Fleshmower are exactly what I wanted to see more of.

The Nurglings who imprint on the marines and wear helmets and hoods and stuff is all great.

I'm way into all of it. Some of the best models that GW has ever put out IMO

Don't expect many other armies to get this treatment, I'm pretty sure its just a one time thing.

**Virules**

Is there a list anywhere with the exact stratagems from CSM that carried over?

Yes and no. I made the argument on Facebook in favor of the little guys.

Hellbrutes don't provide a Cover Aura and requires a Death Guard only Detachment to benefit from ignoring heavy weapons. Oh, and has only 2 weapons right? Hellbrutes have a place but as Lascannon platforms or gribblys tarpit when in Hentai mode. Oh and doesn't get a 5+ invul I believe or Disgustingly Resilient

Yup. Thats why i've just gone all in, ditched the hellbrute and taken an contemptor. These Drones are going to be brilliant. if we have some carry over from the CSM stratagems and get "Daemon forged" re rolling all hits and wounds. Yes please.

Remember, a group of nurglings likely drive these happy little DGBugs

They are also Daemon so you can use the Nurgle Demon psychic powers to heal it.

So 45€ like Intercessors.

The FW ones at 49 pounds are much better! They are 50% cheaper in euros a piece, from 10 for the FW ones to 15 for the GW ones.
Well, I suppose I'll buy them from Element Games then, with discount and the exchange rate they come down too to 10€ for Terminator.

The looks absolutely cool! I had missed it.

If you check out the pictures of Mortarion on the GW store you'll see the Nurglings at his feet are also wearing Mortarion's hood!

This makes me irrationally happy.

I love bloat drones, but this ground version? I like it even more!

**CthuluIsSpy**

Bit of trivia - Myphitic is a GW style corruption of the word Mephitic, which means noxious or foul smelling, usually referring to a gas.

Is that crack on his chest armor from the heart scribing incident?

I still want to put a Nurgling on one of mine with a cowboy hat and slimy lasso

**Prometheum5**

I am so unbelievably into the Stank Tanks (credit to someone in the Death Guard group on FB). They are going to be so fun to paint, I am gonna need at least 6.

**ZoBo**

can this Myphitic Blight-Hauler thing be equipped with the "Fleshmower" like on the bloat drone?...because that would be kinda great...if only for looks

The haulers have no options. But don't let stop you from adding a fleshmower to yours just for looks.

I haven't seen what the fleshmower looks like. Where is it on the drone?

**Nightlord1987**

So, are lightning claws allowed on any of the DG terminators? What about combi plasma?

Also, why in the hell did tartauros Death Shroud Terminators suddenly turn into cataphractii? It's really throwing my whole collection out of whack.

Thanks! Looks like DG have a Deffrolla now. Better not be better than the Deffrolla. I'll keel someone.

I don't think anyone is gonna complain about that. Personally, I think Cathapractii is more fitting for the "Slowest and sturdiest legion" thematic of DG, than the Terminator Armour known for being much more flexible and ligther than the others.

I suddenly have rockabilly songs in my head looking at that

**Warhams-77**

The Deathshrouds are in the Deathwing Terminators price band?

Edit: Good to know, thanks

**Galas**

Yes they are, 35 pounds, 45€
