Hello, I am new to 40K and have started building and painting Death Guard. Also if I didn't format something correctly I apologize. Still new to the hobby and this site.

Here is the list I am working on. I want to have a 1500 list to play because that's what everyone in my area is playing. Right now I am looking to grow not replace. So my Plague Marines are set because I traded my Marines for more Death Guard stuff from Dark Imperium.

Here is what I was thinking so far. I need lots of help.

Daemon Prince of Nurgle 156
Foetid Bloat Drone: Plague Spitter x2
Foetid Bloat Drone: Flesh Mower x1 343
Plague Marines (From Dark Imperium) x14 318
Biologus Putrifier 74
Lord of Contagion: Man Reaper 137
Pox Walkers x40 240

1268

Put some wings on that DP and maybe try convert the LoC to a Typhus unless you have another one you traded for, since 40 t4 pox walkers are way scarier than 4 t3 ones and if you hit them with putrescent vitality and blades of putrefaction they are hitting marines on 4s and wounding on 2s. So if you're up against orks or guard your horde gets massive.

I find DP's do a lot of work for me put 2 talons on and they are pretty scary especially with wings so they have a threat range that isnt ignorable. So aybe add another if you can find some leftover points

I have a DG army as well and that looks like a good start brother!

The bloat drones are great to escort DP up the board.

I agree the if you have 40 pox walkers may as well get Typhus to boost them and also add some extra psychic power.

What about a plagueburst crawler for some anti tank staying around Typhus to reroll 1s? Maybe a hellbrute with las/missile combo? Another demon prince is always good too but yeah you should def grab wings for that one you have.

I'd agree with Ovechkin on the anti tank options. You don't really have anything at the moment, Helbrute is good since they ignore moving penalties for heavy weapons in DG. I'm looking to pick up a blight hauler and use it's shroud thingy for poxwalkers, I know they only go to a 6+ save but would make the difference for going against something like guard armies or anything with massed 0ap firepower.

I haven't played much with DG at all(still building my army) but I'd split the poxwalkers into two groups of 20 and have one just behind the other. Use the Cloud of Flies stratagem on the front one and The Dead Walk Again Stratagem on the ones behind, placement will be important but if you do it right it, especially with Typhus buffing them with both aura and magic, that will be a very annoying shooting phase for your opponent
