<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "1500 CSM - Death Guard"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 1500 CSM - Death Guard CSM good right now, they seem very point hungry and 6th Edition seems kinda shooty so I am not sure what I need to do. Anyways this is my current list.

HQ
Typhus 230
TROOPS
7 Plague Marines, 2 Plasma Gun (Rhino) Dirge Caster 198
7 Plague Marines, 2 Plasma Gun (Rhino) Dirge Caster 198
7 Plague Marines, 2 Melta Guns, Power Fist (Rhino) Dirge Caster 213
3 Chaos Rhino w/Dirge Casters 120
Elite
6 Chaos Terminators Mark of Nurgle, Heavy Flamer 226
HEAVY
Defiler 195
Predator, 2 Lascannons (Dozer) 120

1500

Typhus Deep Strikes with the Terminators. Pretty sure keeping 456 points off the board isn't the best idea, but it's the best idea I have. I will eventually work on a super zombie squad for Typhus, but for now its just him and a bunch of plague marines. I would love ot hear any thoughts on good CSM.Nurgle Strategies.

I would add Typhus and the zombies at the same time at 1750 or higher.

Oblits with MoN are awsome if you have some to use. Defilers don't do as much as they used to. I would trade it out for Oblits.

I know the Heldrake is liked and disliked but they ruin almost everything they come in contact with.

Here is my 1500 that does pretty good.

Lord PW/MoN/ BG/ GoB<----Warlord (Just get the PM's)
D. Prince MoN/BM/Wings/PA/GoB

PM's x7 Flamer/ Melta Champ w/ PF/PP in a Rhino w/EA
PM's x7 Flamer/ Melta Champ w/ PF/PP in a Rhino w/EA

Heldrake x2

Oblits x3 MoN

Oblits use long range to stop enemy transports or dangerous shooty stuff. Plasmacannons work wonders on those deep striking termies. Also change up weapons for horde armies.

Hide Rhinos until you can move them out to get objectives after at least one Drake is on the table. If both are on the table will work best. V.Strike and flame everything.

Use terrain for the DP to get him into position. With MoN he will get +2 to his cover save. Ruins and any terrain will help get him across the board. Make sure he is in terrain. The Black Mace is a Deamon Weapon. Smash against characters and regular attacks against squads at AP 2 for both. When you assault with him, make a challenge and you will most likely win. Then if the squad doesnt brake, you can kill most if not all in your opponents turn leaving him free in your turn. Rinse and repeat from unit to unit.

The down side of this list is only two scoring units unless you get the missions to make fast ot heavies scoring. But the amount of firepower to take out those two units will draw attention away from the more dangerous units.

Hope this helps and good luck.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5929922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5929922.page GMT 1500 CSM - Death Guard
The deep striking termies are more often than not going to be cut down before they have a chance to do much. Termicide would be a lot more effective and would leave a lot more points for some zombies .

Taking Typhus is useless unless you are going to take zombies as well. He is way too expensive to lose out on that.

The Lord has to have MoN to take PMs as troops. Just make him the Warlord because the DP will be out killing stuff. And your enemy will think that the DP is the Warlord.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5930587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5930587.page GMT 1500 CSM - Death Guard
I don't have the Demon Codex yet, are plaguebearers or Nurgle any good? Might try to go with allies?

I'll see what I can do for a Chaos Lord.

Good advice though. I'm definitely not happy with the lack of versatility this list has, so trying to work around it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5931390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5931390.page GMT 1500 CSM - Death Guard MoN lord had to be the warlord in order to make PM troops. Personally I'd roll on personal for the DP just in hope to get tenacity on him, makes games so much easier to win.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5932726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5932726.page GMT 1500 CSM - Death Guard dp because his leadership is higher]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5933876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545112/5933876.page GMT
