- Plaguebearer Emicus, 2018


Major hype for Nurgle CSM has brought be back to the Death Guard. As some know I can't play horde armies to save my life and when I was cranking out 90 Plaguebearer lists waiting for the new book I had to stop myself.

So I've just ordered 10 Blightlord Terminators and 2 Lawnmower drones! I also have an 'alternative Mortarion' model I'm going to use as a Daemon prince! Hype :biggrin.:

Going to be 1k points and expansion to 1500 will be fairly imminent adding a new GUO, nurglings and deathshroud...

Welcome to Death Guard!

 

I havent gotten any Blightlords other than the 3 that come with Lord Felthius, but the Bloat Drone kit has been one of my favorites. Whats great, is that if you get a couple of the Dark Imperium Drones, you can fit the kit faceplates to the DI drones with very little cutting. Basically, 3 drones for a lot less.

Blightlord Terminator box only comes with 3 swords and 3 axes.. when I could really do with 4 of either kind... Fifth man rocks the flail after all.
Blargh.

 

So I've hollowed out an axehandle from one of the swords and now I need to find an axe to plonk in there. Curses GW, curses!

​Edit: So aside from that missing axeblade I've got 5 terminators done :smile.:

Buy two boxes and you can use one with swords and one with axes. :teehee:

But I want 2 units with all axes.. :C second box is still in the mail too so I've started work on the second bloat drone

Then...uhm...get 3 Boxes so you can build two with Axes, one with Swords and have a lot of spare swords! :D

Why do you want so many with Axes?

 

I bought two boxes for variety, and options, but I realize in my list building I will often have a point to burn, or reduce so the option is a bit of nice flexibility. As a side note in game terms they don't seem to be that great either way.

I just like to simplify my units. As similar as possible requires less brainpower for me to remember and 'match up' units to correct opponents in game. I was leaning swords because they're pretty but axes are so cool!

 

Also I reckon +1 strength comes more in handy than a better AP. If something has a decent save it likely has an invuln. If setting is tough it's more important to wound it than slash it's save..

 

I dunno. Axes!

This is probably going to be the way now.. Aside from that one sword that's 'in conversion'

sweet. Can't wait to see what you do with them. :thumbsup:

 

Me too! Although I'm currently working on the second Fleshmower-Drone.. blasted mouldlines on the cables is driving me crazy. And I'm still waiting on the second box of Blightlord Terminators too; it might be time to crack open "not mortarion" Daemon Prince soon.

Awesome.

 

I modeled my blightlords with, flail, 2x swords and 2 x axes (one model carrying the blight launcher). I then brought the Lord felthious kit and modified the plague spitter guy (as best I could) so he has reaper autocannon and sword.

 

I love the deathshroud kit but can't justify a second box :-(.

 

I also agree with the above comments about the drones. I got two DI ones from eBay for £20 (to go with the one I had) and then brought the box. Worth the time trawling eBay.

I just made up my two boxes of Blightlords, and I magnetized the combi’s.

 

The mold lines are horrid on those cables. Call me crazy but I’ve used the ( very expensive) GW mold scraper tool to remove all ridge type mold lines, like on bloat drones or plasma guns, and it works fantastic without damaging the ridgrpes too much.

Built a bunch, current tally is 10 Blightlord Terminators, 2 Fleshmower Drones, 2 Spawn and 1 winged Demon Prince.

 

1k points and had my first game vs Crimson Fists!

 

The lakeys of the false Emperor got what they deserved. Oblivion.

 

And I decided rather than convert up an axe and suitable champion bling for the Blightlord units I'm using a deathshroud model instead. Makes him stand out easy so I know which is the sarge!

 

Might sort that out in the future...

I have been running 3 axes (and 1 sword, thank you GW) because of the +1 str. Having a str 5 attack means wounding most on a 3+ and with a little Putrescent Vitality love can make that 2+ and of course rerolling 1's due to plague weapon.

The -2 vs -3 AP seems trivial to me as most units have an invulnerable save that either AP activates, so why not choose the one that helps you wound easier.
