Flails and especially Cleavers however I lack in my collection because I try to equip all but the backline objective camping squads with one of each.
So if you like running them up in rhinos with a biologus you can skimp even on the launcher and bolters and try to make another 2 orso with double knives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/804821/11354791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/804821/11354791.page GMT Assembling Death Guard Plague Marines

Assuming you still have bits from the other boxes I'd personally try to make 2 more flail marines, another cleaver marine, maybe another launcher and the rest stays as regular bolter dudes.

Thanks! I've been thinking about it most of the day and think you're right. I think I'm going for 1 dual knives (my other dual knives is a knife and icon), 1 cleaver, 1 flail, 1 blight launcher, and 3 bolters. I've also heard that large masses of bolt guns are powerful for DG. I'm looking to getting back into gaming again - I've spent the last 7 years sick from Crohn's disease and am finally feeling like I can get back out and gaming. I feel like I'm more of a plague marine since I had most of my colon removed and my guts hang out of my abdomen (ileostomy). With any luck, I'll have them put back in place later this year or next and I'll have a semi-colon ;]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/804821/11355002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/804821/11355002.page GMT
