Hey all.

Just wanted to ask on how death guard perform as a force?

Been looking through some of the lore and models, getting drawn to collecting them.

What are the kind of pros and cons of a deathguard force?

Thank you

The pros of Death Guard is that they are incredibly powerful with templates (flamers, heavy flamers, etc) which gain shred on account of chem munition. They are very survivable against poison and fleshbane (considering the popularity of sniper vets and phosphex, a very powerful thing to have). Their most iconic units is their Death Shroud terminators and Grave wardens. The Death Shroud are badass terminators with two wounds and giant scythes which give extra attacks for being in base to base with more than two models. They swing at S5, AP2, -1 Initiative, two-handed. The Grave Wardens are also awesome because they have grenade launchers, pumping out specialised ammo with poisoned small templates, and krak grenades. Very powerful army.

a super solid list that doesn't really have a downside beyond not being able to sweep super good, which isn't a problem since, you know, we had the most cataphractii armour in the fluff
