Hello fellow Dakkanauts!

In a few weeks I have a small tournament coming up in my FLG.
The rules are simple and as follows.
1500 pts, no unit can be taken more than once, no LoW, no Forgeworld.
Units with more than 6 wounds can only include one model, models with more then 2 wounds can only include a max of 3 units. Troops can be taken as normal, dedicated transports can only include a second one if you have taken every possible troop choice.
You play one codex and one chapter/legion/Craftworld, …. You get the idea ☺.

So I’m going to play Death Guard and I’m asking you guys for help.
We’ll be playing the new Chapter Approved Eternal war missions. The winner of the tournament is the one with the most VP at the end.

What do you guys think will be a good allround list for Death Guard. I have been thinkering myself and I must say it’s hard because everything costs alot pointwise.
I need to be efficient and have enough boardcontrol.

Things to consider:
- Summoning: Plaguebearers can’t start on the board because they are not Death Guard but can be summoned.
- Troop wise: what would you bring? Poxwalkers, Cultists or maybe the resilient Plague Marines in a Rhino?
- a PBC and a Daemon Prince with Supp plate are the obvious choices and maybe a Foul Blightspawn in a rhino aswell?

I would seriously appreciate all the feedback you guys can give me!

Thanks in advance

Definitely prince, crawler, drone, blight spawn maybe with rhino and plague marines. Maybe Shooty helbrute?
