Thanks!

After multiple games vs. the new Death Guard I am under the impression that 5 Deathshroud Terminators is the way to go with a list such as yours. I have placed a similar list which was very effective against my Dark Angels and Thousand Sons.

Run it

If the rhino's don't do it for you, later on the same point could be poxwalkers.

3 Rhinos seem like overkill. I would advise cutting down to just 1 Rhino and use the points saved for more infantry.

I like the 3 rhinos idea. Gives plenty of speed and extra durability for the PM’s to move them up to mid or enemy zones for objectives. Tallyman seems great because of the extra CP but unless he is with some of the PM’s running around not really worth it. I would also make a few changes to the PM’s. Mostly I don’t upgrade the champion weapons and will set up a squad with melee weapons another with blight launcher and third being regular. Gives chance for a larger number of PM’s as long as they can still fit in your rhinos. The rhinos are also great to screen and to help score points for Despoiled Ground. In my past 6-8 games I have scored 12-15 PT’s with taking it as a secondary.
