I'm playing against ultra marines tonight! I expect it to be mechanised with razor backs...
So what do you think of this list I'm planning on using??? 1500 Pts


HQ: Daemon Prince
Wings; Mark of Nurgle

Elite: 7 Terminators
1 Terminator Champion with Lightning Claws (pair) (x1)
Chain Fist (x1); Combi-melta (x2); Reaper Autocannon (x1)

Troops: 7 Plague Marines
Plasmagun (x2); Plague Champion with Power Fist
1 Rhino, Havoc Launcher

Troops: 7 Plague Marines
Plasmagun (x2); Plague Champion with melta bombs
1 Rhino, Havoc Launcher

Troops: 7 Plague Marines
Melta Gun (x1); Plague Champion with melta bombs
1 Rhino, extra twinlinked bolter

Heavy Support: Vindicator
Daemonic Possession

Heavy Support: Vindicator
Daemonic Possession

Total Roster Cost: 1498

I want to play a mechanised force and I like it's fluffyness? but would like to find the 40pts to give the Termies MON... drop possession from the vindicators... or maybe make one of the squads walk...

oh this will be the first outting for my vindicators...yay

List Comments & Critique much appreciated

Panic...

Solid list, but like you said I would drop a rhino in favor for the mark of nurgle for your termies. The only thing that I fear is the lack of long range anti-tank fire.

Cheers,
Hope it helps!

maybe switch a vindicator out for a auto-canno HB predator to help pop the razorbacks.

Drop the extra weapons on the Rhinos. If they are transporting then they won't be firing Havocs.

It's a very good Death Guard list. Fluffy and effective.

yeah,
I got thrashed!
I'll do a BatRep in a day or so...

PAnic...

Oh, I'm looking forward to see your report!

If you're going to take the Prince, you might as well get Nurgle's Rot. For 15pts, worst case the opponent is rolling dice on his marines with good saves, and best case you're repeatedly melting Ork hordes.

yeah,
I posted the batrep... Kill points should have worked in my favour, I had 10Kp to his 14kp...
As you can see i had a little bit of bad luck..
I think dawn of war hurt the vindicators, I'd have liked to put them on the table before turn1, moving on cost me a turn of shooting, after that they just kept missing till they were destroyed...the rest of my army was too spread out, and taken apart bit by bit...

I've demmanded a rematch, and i'll be using the same list(ish), with a few small changes.
I'll move the havoc launchers to the vindicators, and see if i can find the points for a preditor or LR...


So what do you think?

Drop the Rhino weapon upgrades, they are not worth it. Give the Termies the IoGC.

My Take on this list.. it looks good; I would suggest a few changes

Im with everyone else here, Drop the weapons on the rhinos. Also I would recommend Giving you camps PFs. Alot of squads will chew you up and bypass your armor and FNP. Like if those 7 PMs got into a tango with 10 Marines w/PF in squad you will get chewed up. Odds are the PF will chew up 2 PMs a turn. However if you had a PF, you would break them up before they kill you.

Vindicators are tight, and I like them.. but in most games they just dont perform.
