Hello all,

So I am going to be doing a 2k tourney at my LGS coming up and am trying to nail down a well rounded list and am looking for some help. This will be the first time I have used my Death Guard in a somewhat competitive format. Below is what I came up with. A couple of notes, I do not want to use Morty in this list. Also I was maybe thinking of swapping a few things out to fit in one or a pair of Renegade Armiger Helverins but not sure if they are worth the point cost overall.

Let me know what you think!

Armigers much better than predators. If you are going to run preds might as well run three for killshot. Also I would run either a third drone with spitters or one with flesh mower with the arch contaminator prince. You will be disappointed in the heavy blight launcher. With the points you save on the Helverins make the tally man a foul blight spawn. With out a true dedicated melee squad you won’t take advantage of his aura and you dont need as many command points and his regen is sporadic at best
