Without getting Morty, I'd like to make one final purchase and finish up my DG army. I'd like to have some flexibility for list building to go full fluff or semi-comp, and I'd like to have fun more than win competitively. Finally, I'm not keen on a lot of poxwalkers or cultists since I already have 5k in Orks and get enough horde action over there.

Here is what I have so far.

1 Death Guard Lord of Contagion
1 Death Guard Noxious Blightbringer
1 Death Guard Malignant Plaguecaster
1 Typhus
1 Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour
1 Nurgle Daemon Prince - Talons/Axe
5 Blightlord Terminators - Champ with a Combi-Bolter and Balesword, one with a Flail of Corruption, and one with a Blight Launcher. Everyone else has Bubotic Axes and Combi-Bolters.
3 Deathshroud Terminators
20 Death Guard Plague Marines – 8 armed with Blight Launcher, 8 with boltguns, and the 4 Champs have Plasma.
1 Helbrute - Twin Las/Fist
2 Foetid Bloat-drone – Magnetized with all weapon options
2 Myphitic Blight-Haulers
1 Plagueburst Crawler
4 Rhino chassis mag'd to the gills. Can become three Predators or two Vindicators
20 Poxwalkers
20 Cultists

Foul Blightspawn is not bad, Tallyman is also ok if you have a cp heavy and/or melee component.

Why no Morty?

But anyway, looks like you have nearly all codex options besides the elite Characters and Spawn.

While Spawn are better suited in a Thousand Suns army, the kit itself is very fun, and with a few extra parts from kit bashing you can make more than just 2 Spawns from the box.

The Spawn can be used to unlock a cheap Outrider detachment, but if it's units that don't care about missing Death Guard traits, then Plague Drones are much better for the 1 pt difference. Also, with Nurgle or Heretic Astartes as keyword, you can add in a Heldrake for a soup detachment.

But then I would just suggest opening up into Nurgle Daemons. Nurglings and Plague bearers do things better than cultists and pox walkers.

Barring that, I would take a second PBC, Bloat Drone, or Daemon Prince.

Added the Rhino chassis

Was about to ask the same thing myself.

I just have no love for the model. I know he's a beast. Maybe if I converted him I'd find it more palatable. I admit the sculpt is fantastic, but it just doesn't ring my bell for some reason.
