Hi all. I want to start death guard army, but before doing purchases I want to be sure I`ll have chance to win Here`s what I want to take for 100 power level game. What do you think about it? We have csm, blood angels, orks, ultramarine and eldar players. I`m concerned about how this roster will handle greentide and guilliman + tanks and devastators army lists.
The plan is to deep strike term-sorcerer, blightlords and LoC, cast diabolic strengh and warptime with sorcerer. charge with them and take out any serious tanks/close combat units. While main blob of 2 pm, surgeon, tallyman and blightbringer advance and shoot.
Thanks in advance

I recalculated everything in points. 1838 in total. What to take on remaining 162 points?

Another Bloat Drone or PBC for sure.

Bloat Drone is FA
Nurglings will lose you DG detachment type (they don't have DG keyword

You can just get that Terminator Armor Sorcerer into the Battlion, so you have 6 CP.

But then you wouldn't get either Warptime or I. Advance.

Add a bloat drone with a lawnmower!

Well you want Mortarion for sure. Personally the terminators have vastly underperformed. I like taking my plague Marines in 5 man units. It is more points efficient and you get way more shooting. Nurglins are fine, cultists are cheaper and pox walkers are better at screening. If you wanna run the blightbringer than you can run 1 10man unit with bubotic axes and a couple of blight launchers. From there just have 2, 5man units with 2 launchers an 1 plasma per unit.

bloat drone is fast so 1 more plague burst w/ 2 entropy and gat is 162

You wouldn't get Warptime but a Terminator Sorcerer with Contagion powers has the Death Guard keyword so you would actually get Inexorable Advance.

Thanks for all replies

Didn`t think about it, then I`ll take poxwalkers

I took him because of warptime and possibility of casting death hex or diabolic strengh

Mortarion is to pricey for me So I`m trying to build a list without him. Why you think like that about blightlords? Maybe it`s just better to take more of them?
On plague marines I agree that 10 is too much but 5 is too small. 7 is ideal because you have some expendable guys who you can remove

UPD: I don`t know why I taken tallyman, I thought he lets you reroll all dice. I can also remove him

Came up with such idea because I`m not pleased with crawler damage.
