http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I really love the Guo model and want to get one for my Purge/DG/Daemons soup of an army. From my understanding though greater daemons are not in a good place in 40k at the moment, and as much as i love the model I don't want to get a model that will just collect dust on a shelf. Can someone justify why Rotigus or the Guo would have a place on the battlefield?
Personally I have about 45% Death Guard, 45% CSM and 10% nurgle daemons, so using the bell to revive daemons would be pointless for me atleast ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10605090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10605090.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609735.page GMT GUO with Bell can resurrect them. I wouldn't do it in a tournament, but playing that combo and another big guy like a Knight or Mortarion (so they have to choose between them and the GUO) would be fun and pretty strong in a casual setting. It leaves little room for infantry (to go with the Myphitic Blight Haulers), but I like MBHs even without them - I shoot with them until they're in charge range, they do pretty good with their CHOMPS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609814.page GMT GUO (and rotigus) is the same problem all the greater daemons face. They are a large dangerous model that you'll never be able to hide from the enemy and they are just not tough to kill.

This means that most opponents will just blow them off the board during their first turn, the GUO is really squishy with a 5++/5+++ he'll go down to focused fire from anything.

Compounding the issue they are also alot slower than the other greater daemons meaning even if you go first the enemy will have plenty of time to deal with them.

It is a great model though so here's my beat bet to getting use out of one. High threat target saturation, bring him with Morty, a couple of damon princes, plague drones and crawlers. Most of that is more threatening than a GUO meaning they will struggle for options having to kill a load of hard targets.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10609930.page GMT DP, Rhino rush, bikes, spawns and so on that would put the preassure on my opponent. So perhapps Rotigus could advance and cast a few pshycic powers and hoppefully be able to assault something turn 2. Or at least wreck havox around the middle of the field.
But still, it's alot of points for a single model. Can't help woundering of those points are better spent on lets say a PBC and another DP or something.
Gues I'll just have to wait and see what CA-19 brings to the table.
Thanks for the response guys]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10612548.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/781631/10612548.page GMT
