January 12, 20215 yr Owners of the most disgusting models in the galaxy, rejoice - your book is on the way 7 (Geddit) New Death Guard Rules Here's last week's article - mentions plague companies. Shocking no-one, they're getting some neat buffs and for anyone who said "GW will give more D2+ weapons to deal with 2 wound space marines, thus creating a new baseline for power in 40k" - looks like you were correct.
January 12, 20215 yr I did like the preview of their new plague aura and as the game goes on the aura gets stronger (represented by affecting models at a greater distance)
January 13, 20215 yr Author -1 Toughness is also very good. Especially with Death Guard getting really into the punching of stuff. Their models are still disgusting though.
January 24, 20215 yr The army reminds me a bit of the old Lost and Damned from 4th Edition. Hordes of unkillable zombies seem to be the order of the day. Otherwise, that debuff aura is terrifying.
January 24, 20215 yr Mortarion is looking tough and unkillable like any good primarch should be. I think he's causing people a few headaches trying to figure out how to deal with him.
January 26, 20215 yr Morty is an absolute beast. Honestly looks like he can stand up to so much punishment. Struggling to think what would be a solid counter to him.

March 13, 20215 yr One of the guys at the club has come up with a horrifying DG Deathstar. Well tooled up Daemon Prince - Wretched 3x3 Units of Deathshroud Termies Lord of Virulence Some Poxies. He's taken to barreling forward with the DP, keeping the Deathshrouds with in 3" so their Bodyguard rule means you can't target the DP, and out of LOS so you can't target them either. So to even look like shooting at the DP you have to take out 9 out of LOS Disgustingly Resilient Termies first. On a 44x30 table you only get 1 maybe 2 turns of shooting. I'm going to try a Bladeguard beatstick Any other ideas?
March 21, 20215 yr Author That sounds interesting. If the Daemon Prince has wings, I'm not sure how the Terminators would keep pace with the Daemon Prince. My experience is limited to normal boring Chaos, though - across both 8th and 9th editions I have managed one game against Nurgle in all its forms. I tell you what I do like for dealing with characters, though - Eliminators. Depending on what chapter you run, they'll pressure his Daemon Prince nicely.
