So I’m playing with the thought of creating an ‘in your face’ DG army. Not for competitive reasons but let’s say a decent build. The idea is:
- Get the shooty units within double range asap with Rhino’s;
- drop DS and BL terminators where needed;
- Run melee PM accross the board with noxious blightbringer. While protecting their flanks with the Rhinos;

The list:

It actually looks like a fun list. I'd make two changes though, first is a small one, take a power fist champ from one of your shooty plague marine squads and put it on the CC one. I'd probably remove both the fists from the shooty squads, seems like a waste.

With the extra points from removing the second power fist I'd put some combi-meltas on those blightlord termies in stead as you don't really have any anti-armour

Thanks, seems like a smart thing to do. Haven’t done the math but wouldn’t the plasma be sufficient for anti armour?

Depends on the armour really but 4x plasma in rapid fire has the potential to do 8 wounds or 16 wounds if overcharged, but you've no reroll 1s so overcharging on those blightlords would be an expensive mistake without a lord nearby. I really think you should bring the meltas as you've no other anti-tank at all, the deathshroud terminators are the next strongest thing but if your local meta isn't full of guard tank detachments or land raiders you might be okay with plasma. Try both and see which you prefer

Thanks, I’m also thinking of swapping one of the casters with a Chaos Lord (for the rerolls of 1).
