Hello! I have been working on a new "death guard" list and wanted some opinions. Here it is.

BTW I am not marking VoLW or MoN as its obvious.

Chaos Warband

Chaos Lord, Bike, Fist, Sigil 150

Chaos Termintors (3) Combi meltas, 2 axe 1 mace 130

Chaos Bikes (5) 2 plasma, 1 combi plas 180

Havocs (5) 2 Las cannon, rhino 165

Chaos Tacticals (5) plas/combi, rhino 150
Chaos Tacticals (5) melta/combi, rhino 145

Auxiliary

Chaos spawn (5) 180

Renegade Knight Detachment

Knight, avenger cannon, sword 375
Knight, avenger cannon, sword 375

There it is. 14 Kill points (via ITC). Lots of obsec. Everything can move 12 inches a turn. Knights are mostly the damage. Lord rides with the spawn. Other stuff holds down the objectives.

I could drop a flyer and the spawn, put the lord with the bikes, and add the 2 heldrake formation. Thoughts?

I like this a lot. Can't say I'd change much. Squeezing in two knights while still having tough-as-nails ObSec bodies is brutal. Not even counting the Fearless. Rhino's might give up some free kill points/First Blood, but that's kind of old news and being able to scoot to mid-field quickly will help more than hurt, I think.

Thanks! I will try this tonight and let you know!

Awesome! Let us know how it pans out!

I really like this the only thing I would do is go all plasma on the tactical and melts on the bikes. I feel like the bikes have a better chance of getting in range to make use of the meltas than the tacts

That's a good point. Thanks!

So the game was a huge success! We played maelstrom. He was playing tau with retaliation cadre and the stealth suit/ghost keel formation (uggg names...).

He dropped in and caused some damage but a mix of decent invulnerable saves and good positioning took the day. List was decent except the poor lord and spawn were crushed as they raced the tau lol
