Hello boys and girls,
We have a 1k Tournament coming up at my LFGS soon and i'm thinking of moving away from my comfort zone of World Eaters or Emperors Children and running with some Death Guard (I got the models as they look awesome so why not!)
I have two lists but not sure which one to go with, or any changes to make. I don't have access to any PBC's, but do have access to DP's, cultists, more plague marines, terminators and anything else chaos wise.
So list one is:
++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Chaos - Death Guard)
+ Troops [32 PL, 453pts] +
Plague Marines [10 PL, 158pts]
. Plague Champion [30pts]: Plague knife, Plasma gun [13pts]
. 4x Plague Marine w/ boltgun [68pts]
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun
Plague Marines [10 PL, 140pts]
. Plague Champion [17pts]: Boltgun, Plague sword
. 4x Plague Marine w/ boltgun
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Blight launcher
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Blight launcher
Poxwalkers [6 PL, 66pts]: 11x Poxwalker [66pts]
Poxwalkers [6 PL, 90pts]: 15x Poxwalker [90pts]
+ Fast Attack [16 PL, 316pts] +
Foetid Bloat-drone [8 PL, 158pts]: 2x Plaguespitters, Plague probe
Foetid Bloat-drone [8 PL, 158pts]: 2x Plaguespitters, Plague probe
+ HQ [13 PL, 227pts] +
Lord of Contagion [7 PL, 117pts]: Helm or plate?
Malignant Plaguecaster [6 PL, 110pts]: Blades of Putrefaction, Miasma of Pestilence
++ Total: [61 PL, 997pts] ++
This is list is focused around a smaller group of zombies to hold mid board, with two squads of plague marines to deal with issues. Two blight drones to grab objectives and deal with threats they can. Mainly relying on my toughness to weather most things.
Second list is:
++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Chaos - Death Guard) [55 PL, 997pts] ++
+ Troops [32 PL, 554pts] +
Plague Marines [10 PL, 158pts]
. Plague Champion: Plague knife, Plasma gun
. 4x Plague Marine w/ boltgun
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Plasma gun
Plague Marines [10 PL, 156pts]
. Plague Champion [29pts]: Boltgun, Plague knife, Power fist
. 3x Plague Marine w/ boltgun [51pts]
. Plague Marine w/ melee weapons: Bubotic Axe
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Blight launcher
. Plague Marine w/ Special Weapon: Blight launcher
Poxwalkers [6 PL, 120pts]: 20x Poxwalker [120pts]
Poxwalkers [6 PL, 120pts]: 20x Poxwalker [120pts]
+ Fast Attack [8 PL, 158pts] +
Foetid Bloat-drone [8 PL, 158pts]: 2x Plaguespitters, Plague probe
+ HQ [15 PL, 285pts] +
Malignant Plaguecaster [6 PL, 110pts]: Blades of Putrefaction, Miasma of Pestilence, The Pandemic Staff
Typhus [9 PL, 175pts]: Gift of Contagion, Miasma of Pestilence
++ Total: [55 PL, 997pts] ++
Similar list to the above, but this one is obviously all about the zombies with typhus doing his thing, and the plaguecaster adding some more buffs as well. Plague marine squads are there to take out anything that's likely to be high wounds.
I'm really not used to semi static armies like Death Guard as usually i'm throwing bezerker squads at everything or drowning them in noise. My local meta is nids, 1ksons, more Death Guard, IG and Eldar. There maybe some smurfs as well.
Any help from you lovely lot will be appreciated.
