How do you kill these guys? Seriously! I was using Castellans detachment with mostly guard and some Space Marines and despite putting dozens of wounds on them THEY WOULD NOT DIE. Oh and they all had bikes and relentless so they got plenty of Ob Sec on the objectives. Plus having a Daemon Prince with a 2+ jink save and a FnP with rerolling ones is just awful.

For note I can field War Convo, ANYTHING guard, and a full 10+ razorback Battle Company.

I want death guard to die.

Bring poison weapons or strength 10?

How was your army set up?

The DP you need to take down in assault.
He shouldn't have had all bikes if he had a Vectorium to reroll those FnPs of 1 as he would have needed to take a Warband or Plague Colony which both require many non bike units.
Grav should still work well against DG as should plasma or any high strength low ap weapons - Yeh they will be 33% less effective (not counting the rerolls of 1 - cba to work that out right now) but still effective enough.

I wasnt all bikes, but 2 squads of them were pretty darn hard to kill (T6, 3+ jink). As for a DP, how do you take it down in assault when it does 5 str 8 AP 2 attacks (it was using that poison flamer staff)?

Plasma, S10. Volume of fire. Unless he rolls FnP like I have been this last couple of games. You should be good. I've actually been on a losign streak with my Death Guard.

Grav it works wonders VS marines and MC's. If you know you are fighting Chaos just spam skyhammers with 4 grav cannons to each Dev squad.
