Hi all,

As some of you know I have made a website for the Chaos Legions and developing a Codex for each one.

Just a few questions with certain changes I am considering and if you could comment on the following:

Plague Marines should be kept as I3 or have I4?

Plague Marines 18 or 20 points each.

Plague Terminators – Same stats as Plague Marines but with 2 wounds with higher points cost.

Plague Knife brought back counts as poisoned, can never wound worse than 4+.

Normal Death Guard can rally even under 50% original squad size.

Death Lords (think SM chapter masters) with PM traits, should be I4 or 5?

Thanks for your replies.

Ok let me try to help ya out my friend!

1. Keep em at I3
2.Keep em at the current costs
3.They would have to be ATLEAST 60-70pts each czause of 2 wounds and FNP!
4.ok
5.Death Guard should be made fearless for 18pts each in total

Thank you bye!@

considering them in the cerrent book, i will use there kit as base

Plague Marines should be kept as I3 or have I4?

keep it I3

Plague Marines 18 or 20 points each.

23 now? i dont see you knocking them with any penalties, so this would be the minimum

Plague Terminators – Same stats as Plague Marines but with 2 wounds with higher points cost.

one wound, MoN should grant FNP

Plague Knife brought back counts as poisoned, can never wound worse than 4+.

one or 2 points, id rather not have it, we are pricey already

Normal Death Guard can rally even under 50% original squad size.

looks good

my main thing is MoN should grant FNO to all bearers. lords, DP's etc.

3.They would have to be ATLEAST 60-70pts each czause of 2 wounds and FNP!

I was thinking more of 45-50pts :p

Problem is studderingdave, MoN will grant normal Death Guard a true toughness of 5, as they are new recruits.

I'm looking at the space wolves and find them to be so cheap I thought knocking the PM price down a bit would be ok.

Thank you so far.

How is that different from the current Dex?

Terminators with MoN should gain T5 and FNP.

Because the normal dex you have to pay for the icon and if he dies you dont get the bonus, it also isn't a true toughness.

With the marks there is no icon bearer.

Those terminators would be Plague ones, normal ones just get T5 and are cheaper.

I belive Death Guard terminators (Plague terminators) should have the same basic stats as regular plague marines,including FNP & fearless,after all, they are battle hardened plague marines who have aquired terminator armour,so it makes little sense that they would lose their atributes.
I belive one wound would be suficent,as more than that would probly knock the points cost to high.
As for initative,keep it I3,this represents the decayed state of PM's fairly well,keep points cost the same as well,and of course PMs stay fearless.
Concerning plague knives...I'll have to get back to you on that,I've had a few ideas knocking around pertaining to "plague wepons".

Thanks for the reply. When the Codex is released people can post on the forum I made on things which need tweaking (the 1-2 wound PT for sure).

While on the subject do you think for a Lord with PM traits should be I4 or 5?.

Anyone else have any imput they'd like to contribute?

Plague Marines should be kept as I3 or have I4?
I3 is fine.

Plague Marines 18 or 20 points each.
20 pts

Plague Terminators – Same stats as Plague Marines but with 2 wounds with higher points cost.
T5 would help, two wounds is a bit cheesy.

Plague Knife brought back counts as poisoned, can never wound worse than 4+.
Yes, please.

Normal Death Guard can rally even under 50% original squad size.
Fine.

Death Lords (think SM chapter masters) with PM traits, should be I4 or 5?
I4.
