Indeed you are correct about the plaguebearers. It is a rare game indeed when at least one or two units of plaguebearers are still not alive.
Looking back at the game, I think he twice forgot to make use of dark excommunication. He also forgot to use the pre-combat flame attack of the purifiers. I think both of those would have made an important contribution to the game.
Next game my son wants to try the dreadknight with the sword, and will indeed use it more as a counter-assault unit.
As for the DCAs, my plan is to continue to use them as the army's CC specialists, but again more in a counter-assault way. My son's plan for the rematch is more guns sitting in midfield, with the DCA+crusader combo sitting in a Chimera as well as one dreadknight babysitting the shooty units in the midfield and acting as counter-chargers.
I do have a question for you (or for anyone else). When measuring for warp quake, if the GKSS unit has disembarked, would you measure from just the GKSS models or would you also measure from their dedicated transport as well?
When embarked, you measure from any point on the hull. When disembarked, only from the models in the unit.
