Hey folks I'm kinda new to 30k so I have looked at the different legions but
can't deside between Ultramarines and Death Guard.
So I could use some help.

I'd look at which models you prefer, and which colour scheme you would be happy painting over and over again. That's how I choose every army.

I'd recommend starting with picking a Primarch. Do some research into their stories and the rest will follow.

Between Ultramarines and Death Guard? Fluff wise I'd pick Death Guard in a heartbeat, but I loathe the UMs so there's a strong bias there. Painting wise, all the white of the DG is going to be more of a challenge.

Hi, and welcome to Dakka !

As a chaos follower I'd say death guard, you get Deathshrouds terminators and some very cool looking spikey helmets !

Welcome to Dakka!

I personally would go with Ultramarines, but thats all down to personal choice

**David Clarke**

Between Ultramarines and Deathguard I would definitely pick Ultramarines. What is it about those 2 Legions in particular that attracts you to them?
