Hey everyone

I'm new to 30k and am looking to build a Death guard legion, I've made a list based on the calth box plus some other models I like and stuff I think is fluffy.

All suggestions and guidance are most welcome as I haven't played any 30K yet.

The Reaping:

HQ
Delegatus; artificer armour, power weapon

Troops
Tactical squad (15); vexilla, artificer armour on sergeant
Tactical squad (15); vexilla, artificer armour on sergeant

Elites
Contemptor dreadnought; kheres assault cannon, heavy flamer, chem-munitions
Deathshroud terminators (5); rad grenades, melta bombs

Heavy Support
Deredeo dreadnought, aiolos missile launcher
Heavy support squad (6); missile launchers
Whirlwind scorpius

1495

Any feedback would be great as I'm not sure what I may have missed or which bases are not covered. I did think of using Durak Rask and joining him to the heavy support squad to give them tank hunters and the extra damage vs units on objectives, but it would mean dropping my tac squads to 10man each and I'm not sure if it's worth the trade off.

thanks for reading, I look forward to your comments!

at this point level, I'd probably drop the deredeo in favor of more bodies. Add some CCWs on your tac squads, and give THEM the rad grenades as well. (45 attacks on the charge wounding against T: 3 (generally)) Beyond that, at low points, this seems to be fairly functional, just make sure that you're only buying 1 or 2 rad grenades in your grave wardens MAX as they don't stack within the unit.

Drop the dread
Take some Heavy Support squads with missle launchers.

More bodies with missle using the DG legion rules will help
