I want to build some mixed list of Daemon/DG: 1500 pts and 2000 pts and maybe one 1000 pts (for 4-players games)
Im back to 40k after almost 20 years (no kidding), the rules with the factions are somewhat confusing (two type of keywords for example), especially Death Guard, CSM and Daemons...I only played 5-6 games. Learning what is good and what is not so good, but Im still wondering if my lists are legal. I'm using battlescribe cause its quicker to do the lists, but some said there is errors, and stuff. I know now I cant put nurglings in a DG detachment, i need to do a ritual....somewhat annoying since DG characters are so slow and need to move with my army. I love to put 5 to 9 nurglings in front of my ennemy at 9 inches.
I have few questions:
1- Can I put a foetid Bloat-Drone, plagueburst crawler or Myph. blight-hauler in a Daemon detachment: they got the Daemon keyword, but on the second list of keywords. Battlescribe cant let me do it..but they didnt update their program.
2- I dont really want to do It, but can I put a Death Guard Daemon Prince as an HQ in a Daemon detachment? Or do you absolutely need a Daemon prince of Nurgle? Technically a DG Daemon Pricne is also a Dameon of Nurgle...
3- Do you know when battlescribe will update their program with the new Daemon Codex? usually taking days, weeks or months?
4- If I create a Daemon outrider detachment with a Daemon prince of Nurgle, bloat-drone, plague drones, myphitic blight-hauler, do my engines will benefit fror having a death gaurd kywords (for example when a stratagem say: death guard, DG unit or DG model)? I understand they will not get the bonus of DG army, but they dont anyway (rapid fire at 18, Heavy/assault without penalty)...but I guess they get the Daemon bonuses of 6+= add. wounds. Very powerful for my daemon engines. (For example, I can let Epidemius near my Plagueburst crawler)
4.5 -In the same way, If I let my daemon vehicle in the death guard detachment, do they benefit the stratagem for Daemon?
5- If I Use Epidemius, do daemon in a DG detachment (engines, Prince) count for Epidemius Tally of pestilence? I guess yes?
So
Here's my models (I may add some in the future):
1 predator
1 plagueburst crawler
1 (soon 3, cause I like the bonus of +1 and they are very hard to kill) myphitic blight haulers
1 Foetid Blight drone with plaguespitters
10 plague marines (2 champions, 1 plasma, 1 blight, 6 marines)
5 Blightlord terminators (1 flail, 3multi-melta, 1 blight, 1 axe and 3 swords) - Im plan them to be anti-vehicles/Characters (against Eldar for example)
32 poxwalkers
9 nurglings
1 rhino
10 plaguebearers (soon)
12 cultists (soon)
surgeon DG
Tallyman DG
Hellbrute melta power fist
Blightbringer
Typhus
lord of contagion
Putrifier
3 plague drones
1 chaos spawn
1 Epidemius (soon)
1 spoilbos scrivener
1 (soon) sloppity bilepiper
yes I plan to buy Mortarion, but where I play once a week, they usually dont use LOW in friendly game, or only if the other put a Tourney list. I like lists that are good but fluffy as well and fun to play.
Any answers and help are welcome!
