So I purchased a know no fear box before they went out of stock and I was very lucky to be gifted an indomitus for christmas. at the moment the only person I play is my gf who has the deathguard half of know no fear plus a start collecting nurgle daemons and a few other deathguard models that came with my extra 5 intercessors on ebay for £10.

im looking for some feedback on using the models in the collection that I already have though im not averse to picking up stuff from multipacks which tend to be cheap on ebay. so far my list does ok against the nurgle horde I face, typically losing because of my horrendous bad luck but im wondering how it will fare in a more general sense when things open up again and I can start playing casual/semi-competative games at my local club.

I have only 2 caveats first is no outriders I cant stand the models and im not going to paint anything I dont like the look of and seccond I really want to keep the hellblasters in because they are lovely sculpts and ive always had a thing for plasma. with that said heres the list:

Patrol detachment.
HQ

Captain in Gravis [115]
Boltstorm gauntlet
Power sword
Warlord:
Adamantine Mantle
Rites of War

TROOPS

5 Intercessors [100]
Stalker Bolt Rifle

5 Intercessors [110]
Bolt Rifle
sgt w. Power Fist

ELITES

3 Bladeguard Veterans [110]
sgt w. Neo Volkite

5 Veteran Intercessors [130]
HBP and Chainsword
sgt w. HBP and Thunder Hammer

FAST ATTACK

3 Inceptors [135]
2x Assault Bolters

HEAVY SUPPORT

3 Eradicators [135]
Melta Rifle

5 Hellblasters [165]
Assault Plasma Incinerator

Total [1000]

Is this going to be particularly playble? i could run the hellblasters with the standard incinerator but they dont tend to blow themselves up often when staying close to the captain and with the new -dam on DG i dont allways fire them on overcharge anymore. its a little light on the AT which is why ive converted the assault sgt to have a TH.

Reccomendations and suguestions welcome i dont have lots of money but i could probably get a new unit if it would make a big difference.

Thanks in advance

Don't nitpick the list, play her and see how it goes. Also, since you and she want to (presumably) stay friends, maybe occasionally flip a coin to see who plays which army that night.

Yea we do still want to stay friends. It doesnt get all that competative up here we just play with the models we have and dont bother with points, I know its my bad luck that keeps losing for me because it doesnt matter which army im using I still roll the ones and lose. I dont mind the losing either the playing is the fun for me.
I was more hoping for feedback on when I start playing more diverse opponents so i can plan my painting schedule or upgrade path
