Subject: [2000] - Death Guard - Competitive with Morty
Looking for a little help with a list. I'm trying to make a tournament viable list with Mortarion. The basic idea is that the bloat drones and crawlers run interference and sandbag stuff with the daemon prince supporting them. Morty goes monster hunting with the poxbringer healing him where possible. Cultists are there for command points and sit in the back field and hold objectives. The blightspawns will run up behind the vehicles and use them as cover to flame any big targets.
I prefer nurglings to cultists for holding objectives personally. They are generally easier to hide, a lot more of a nuisance to remove, and you have more deployment options. Also I generally prefer PBCs to Bloat Drones (although both are fantastic). My list would probably look something like this:
Plagueburst Crawler : 2x Plaguespitter , Heavy slugger
Plagueburst Crawler : 2x Plaguespitter , Heavy slugger
Plagueburst Crawler: 2x Plaguespitter , Heavy slugger
++ Total: [108 PL, 1997pts] ++
You could also use the extra poxbringer to buff the plaguespitters on the PBCs or Drones for the +1 S and the extra damage on wound rolls of 6s (since it's a pure detachment and you keep the loci.) I would probably put Virulent blessing on the second poxbringer to cast on Morty for +1 to wound and double damage on 7+.
