Predator- auto cannon, heavy bolters- 100




thats 1845, i like the look of this list alot better, im steering away from Oblits purposely, they are amazing i just want to play without them. i thought about splashing in some zerkers, but again i just want to play a pure death guard army.

the vindicators are my biggest concern and figured two would be better than one, but idk if i would be better off running two defilers instead.

thoughts comments always welcome

My problems with this list is the lack of rhinos for your other two squads. My suggestion is drop the EA and HL on the one. Then maybe one champ to get the other points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109740.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109740.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109762.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109766.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109766.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play 40k universe lol

I had a critique but I take it back. Good list!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1109817.page GMT Re:1850 DeathGuard for competative play PM's to the fullest. Flamers and meltas? where are the plasma guns on at least 1 squad? PM's are the masters of plasma, and they eat MC's and Termis alive! Also, for a shooting army, a LR is probably not your best pick. You cannot shoot the squad out, which sucks. Chaos LR's are built for assault armys IMO, not really for this sort of list. Your DP's are good, but don't count on them living past T2 or 3 in a majority of your games. This leaves you with 3 troops in vehicles and a predator... honestly I think at this points value you just don't have enough stuff! If you face down a Khorne army or SW army you'll be hard pressed. Good list for casual gaming or objective type games!

My suggestions would be;
- Drop the LR's in favor of rhinos. Get a 4th squad of PM's with plasma guns.
- Tack in a Vindicator or Two. They are AWESOME!
- Make 2 squads dual melta, the third dual flamer. Gives you 2 tank hunting squads and 1 horde squad

Those are my main suggestions. I normally don't pin myself into one mark, but thats just me ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110403.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play PM units.
The transported unit can shoot two weapons from the top hatch, that means, two meltas while the unit is safe inside.

Chaos Landraiders are questionable.
They are tough to get down but their damage potential is low.
I'd be more inclined to stick assault-based units into LR's;
otherwise, their transport capabilities are wasted. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110623.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play PK ork, or Ghazy if you like pops LR's with ease without even needing to leave his vehicle.

Guard with meltas in Chimera would also ruin your day, the same with a Manticore. Or even worse perhaps, horde guard with embedded heavy weapons teams, you simply can't kill enough to make commissar boosted blobs leave the field. It gets even worse if those blobs have some melta vet in vendettas as support.

Dark Eldar can D. Lance spam you to death in short order given that PM's and Land Raiders don't like D. Lances and by shear number they will go down to them.

Tau + Boradsides = defeat.

Eldar + Bladestorm DA's and Fire Dragons in Falcons is GG.

SM Vulkan lists should really love facing your list given that your list really won't like HF + MM Land Speeders dropping in to say hello. Toss in some TH/SS termies and you end up with a real bad beatdown.

Nids, well your list should actually beat them most of the time, but Nid Zilla could still do decently as your DP's won't enjoy the Sniper and Gun fexes and those Tyrants with 12 devourer shots should make short work of any infantry spilling out of transports.

Chaos with obliterators and/or termicide should have a good time with their PM's in less expensive rhinos giving them more to make you leave the field with.

Daemons can drop and not fear being shot so you esentially give them free reign to do their thing.

In all it just lacks the punch needed to take down common builds for the main armies.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110710.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play
Rhino- extra armor, havoc launcher- 65

By the way, Rhinos should be taken without any upgrades.
They are not worth it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110731.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play DPs living past t2 or t3, i will count on them living at least that long....

i see what yall are saying and i agree after reading some feedback, its just not enough.

so ill work a list drop the two LRs add at least another squad of PMs, maybe some vindis.

on the rhinos, extra armor is soo nice to have now the havoc launcher was just there to add some firepower, but for a rhino rush army id say extra armor on them is pretty mandatory to help keep things moving. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1110786.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play Havoc Launghers are a waste when plagues are used to get close.

As to the original list:
DPs are ok.

Plague marines are meh, I’m not one for mixing weapons.
LR’s are meh, EA is enugh really.
The Dakka pred is relatively overpriced and very lonely.

so basically take DPs with lashx2 throw in abunch of plagues w/ melta and stock rhinos

and as many oblits as one can get, right gotcha originality at its best]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1112016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1112016.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play And from most of the posters' their experience has gravitated towards a template list.

2x nurgle princes, wings warptime
2x raiders, dpossession
3x 5plague marines, 2 special weapons, rhinos with smoke (thats free right?)
2x8-10 berzerkers, pfist sarge

The berzerkers go in the raiders and with the princes make your opponent start sweatting bullets. By turn 3-4 the survivors of the raiders, princes, and berzerkers are getting mopped up or killing whats left of your opposition, while the plague marines are sitting on objectives. That leaves 2 turns for your opponent to clear 15 plague marines off of objectives, and with the casualties youve (hopefully) inflicted, you should be able to win out through your survivability. That and youve got more troops, 5 vs 3 in your original list, and its not easy to kill 20 berzerkers, 2 nurgle princes, and 2 possessed raiders in the first place.

think about it, its not dual lash, its mech, its fast, and its very tough to remove from the table.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1112119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1112119.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play

You need more things that actually cause damage.

I would drop at least one PM squad, and probably two, and the predator as well. Then get another identical demon prince and either some oblitorators or some terminators. Something that is fantastic at killing stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1116186.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1116186.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play (((UPDATED LIST))) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1116231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/265274/1116231.page GMT 1850 DeathGuard for competative play (((UPDATED LIST)))
