HQ
Daemon Prince: Wings, Mark of Nurgle, Warp Time = 175

Troops
7 Plague Marines: One upgraded to champion with power fist, 2 Meltas, Rhino transport = 256
7 Plague Marines: One upgraded to champion with power fist, 2 Meltas, Rhino transport = 256
7 Plague Marines: One upgraded to champion with power fist, 2 Flamers, Rhino transport = 246
7 Plague Marines: 2 Plasma = 191

Heavy Support
Chaos Defiler = 150
2 Obliterators = 150
1 Obliterator = 75

1499 Points

Stats
4 Scoring units
31 characters
4 vehicles
1 monstrous creature

The strategy is to have the 7 man plasma squad guard the closest objective to my table side with the Obliterator squads. Then the rhinos will screen daemon prince which will hopefully allow the daemon prince with wings to make it into combat unscathed with warp time. The defiler adds another vehicle to hopefully draw some fire away from the rhinos and lay down some pie plates.

Thanks to everyone in advance I appreciate the time it takes to look at someone else's list and work on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1419414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1419414.page GMT [Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy Hvies are ok, but I think the last Oblit is one too many.
Plagues are generally good, but I don't suggest mixing weapons within squads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1419435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1419435.page GMT Re:[Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy
Also I was thinking of Taking the solo oblit out and taking Warp Time away from the daemon prince. This frees up 100 points and I was thinking of adding a Chaos Predator with Heavy bolter side sponsons. This would add more horde control and also another armored target. so now the opponents heavy weapons have 6 Options to shoot at. Do they shoot at the Defiler throwing down pie plates? The armor 13 Pred with 8 AP4 shots of Strength 5+? The Daemon prince with 4 Wounds with wings that's T6? Or the 3 Rhinos with objective holding Plague marines with special weapons?

Then again if I go with this option I lose Warp Time which is really nice. I also lose the obliterator which is great to have the plasma cannon las-cannon 2+ save powerhouse.

All Help on this list would be greatly appreciated ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421520.page GMT [Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy
For the plasma squad you could buy them a rhino with a havoc rack and upgrade 2 of the other rhino's to have combi-melta's. If you switch warp time for aura of decay you could then buy the 3rd rhino a combi-melta.

Aura of decay doesn't get talked about too often, but it really helps with horde control, especially when you get swarmed by something that's fearless or stubborn.

Dang it, been playing nurgle daemons too much lately!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421745.page GMT [Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy
Warptime is worth it. I've gone through Pedro and a 10 man honor guard with the same build. The only problem I see with this list is that your only CC units are your DP and Defi, which are very good at what they do, but maybe think of taking a CSM squad *MAYBE*. Its up to you. I know how well PM hold up in most assaults, but it might be nice to have something other than your DP to get them out of tarpits. just my 2 cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421748.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1421748.page GMT Re:[Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy
Sanctjud: Yeah I really like the extra armor for target saturation it will draw fire away from my rhinos, defiler and prince. but I'm still a bit hesitant I'm really unsure which option is better

Billie_Joe: I completely agree I wish I had more assault units but I don't have many options with a pure fluffy Nurgle list. I'm hoping my power fists in each squad and the fact that everyone is T5 I can widdle away any assault squad. I mean Orks, Gaunts, Eldar are wounding on 6s. and I should be able to kill a good amount back since each of my guys has 2 attacks. Also regular marines only have one attack since they don't come with pistol CC weapon. So I'm pretty sure I can beat them in a combat also not to mention anything that charges me loses their extra attack due to my blight grenades.

Thanks for all the amazing advice so far its making me do a lot of thinking I really appreciate it. I feel the list could use some work and I'm still torn about whether or not to drop the oblit and Warp Time to take that pred.

What do you guys think of this list? Better then the one up top?

:Edit: Once again thanks for any help I really appreciate it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1424497.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284798/1424497.page GMT Re:[Pure Death guard][1,500] Competitive, yet fluffy
MoN, wings, warptime Daemon Prince- I won't play without this guy. I've had him wipe out 500 points in games easily. My last battle of 1000 points he killed an Archon, 4 incubi, 10 witches, and a ravenger. T6 is amazing and warptime is worth its cost every time.

Plague Marines- 7 man with powerfist and 2 specials in a rhino with combi-plasma gun. This squad is the ultimate do it all unit. The only real downside is that they die just as easily as normal marines to AP 3 weapons and cost 50% more. I usually run 2 of these in 1500 games as that seems to be enough.

Lesser daemons- I run 10 of these guys and they don't usually let me down. For 130 points they give a decent CC punch that can instantly assault after summoning. They aren't world beaters but give you another cheap troop choice. They are great if you need to throw a squad against a super CC unit to tarpit them and can easily take home objectives while the expensive plague marines go out into the world.

Preditor- I run a pred with an autocannon and 2x lascannon for 130 points. The pred is relatively cheap points-wise but provides a rare range weapon assortment to Death Guard armies.

Vindicator-hit or miss unit. There have been games where I've had them dominate, there have been games where I questioned taking them again. Daemonic possession makes them very hard to kill and they have great synergy with PM's general 24" range.

Possessed CSM- people hate them, but they do provide a very killy unit in CC, and Death Guard lack that. Sure, they are random but they are damn fun and can very easily dominate. At the least they are a very good counter assault unit and help out the DP.

Overall, staying together as a force is very crucial. You cannot overextend and divide your forces too much or else you will lack the offensive firepower to win. Fast armies can be a problem, however if you advance slowly and keep plugging away, you will catch them.
