Hi,

I just recieved my new 8th edition starter set and this is my 1000 pt Death guard list.
please comment and improve.

HQ

1 Lord of contagion, plaguereaper 184 pt
1 Malignant blightcaster bolt pistol, corrupted staff 114 pt

ELITES

1 Noxious Blightbringer plasma pistol 80 pt
1 Hellbrute, reaper autocannon, powerscourge 133 pt *

TROOPS

6 plague marines 1 plasma gun
1 plague champion, powerfist, plaguesword 192 pt

15 poxwalkers 90 pt **

FAST ATTACK

1 Foetid bloat drone 206 pt


TOTAL 999 pt


* not from started box
** still got 5 spare models

Perfect to try the new models!

By the way remember Typhus is much more better than the Lord of Contagion and, with the points remaining, you can take another plasma or the blight launcher for the marines

Yup, typhus is much better (and cheaper!). And if you convert the axe to a scythe, you can use the lord of contagion model for him too!

You don't have any anti-tank though. If possible, I would take a twin lascannon on the hellbrute.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, a fetid bloat drone is only 158 points.

Typhus is a cool model,

and when I remove 2 poxwalkers I can put in twin lascannons on the dreadnought.


thanks for the comments

mmmm remove Poxwalkers is not a good idea for me, in particular if you play also Typhus

Mobs are very important now, especially if you play against other mobs-army like Orks or Tyranids

This is my version of your list:

1 Lord of contagion (aka Typhus )
1 Malignant blightcaster

1 Hellbrute Multi-melta, power fist and heavy flamer

6 plague marines 1 plasma gun, blight launcher
1 plague champion, powerfist, plasma gun

20 poxwalkers

1 Foetid bloat drone

Rhino, havoc launcher
