After a couple recent posts (heldrake vs DP and 1850 pts DG vectorium) I decided to put together a revised list based on your comments and my own assessment. The list is my attempt at a well rounded Death guard tournament list.
The list is based around a biker death star composed of one unit with two ML 3 sorcerers, a lord and 6 bikers. The main goal is to draw enough attention away from the Daemon Prince and buff him enough to get him into melee. He has one mastery level to get some form of shooting from nurgles rot or 4, 5, 6 on the discipline of Nurlge.
The two sorcerers are looking for the same powers as the DP on their first roll, but one of them will settle for Fleshy abundance or Blades of putrefaction(especially if the lord gets the arch contaminator WL trait). One psyker will get summoning and one roll on biomancy hoping for anything but endurance. The second sorcerer are also looking for 4, 5, 6 on nurgle, but he will probably do one roll on biomancy and one on telepathy. This all depends on the opponent. If he has alot of vehicles I will also roll on heretech, i might also roll on sinistrum if the have MEQ's with psykers.
As for the rest of the units its pretty straightforward. Havocs hold backfield objectives.
CSM hold objectives and tarpit enemy units.
Drakes do what drakes do, hopefully they come in turn two, its pretty game changing if they don't imo.
Termies drop in on objectives or attempts to pop a vehicle. (Question; The reserve roll on a 2+ from DFTS also affects other reserves than flyers?)
A few points I'd like feedback on:
- Are there too few models on the board? If so, what would you suggest for a change?
- What weaknesses does the list have?
- Would you suggest power weapon on the biker champ?
- Any other suggestions for change of wargear?
- Is the second sorcerer needed or should he be swapped out?
- Should I trade the biker star for spawn?
