Recommendations for new DG player


Zeke

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I’ve been playing CSM for the better part of 5 years, but after reading the new Dark Imperium novels, I’ve decided to get some DG units to fill out my Night Lords. I’ve already got a Lord of Contagion and 7 Plague Marines (PF, plasma gun, blight launcher), and want to add some more units.

 

I don’t play in any tournaments, so mostly will be looking for some fun/friendly games. Any suggestions on what to add next? I was thinking a Malignant Plaguecaster at the bare minimum.

 

Thanks!

Top tier units are Daemon Prince, Plague burst crawler and Foetid bloat Drone. Everything else doesn't perform for their point cost.

 

Theres a couple other threads, within the past few weeks that have the same questions as you, might be worth a read through for all the answers.

You'll have to decide for yourself how much you value fluff vs crunch. To answer your question in particular, you can get a bloat Drone for about $15 with spitters new from most bit sites that sell dark imperium fractured. Normally $50 new, get a couple while they last (I got three). At 1 Troop and 1 HQ you have alot of options open. What's your end goal pts wise for your deathguard?

Plague Caster is fun.

 

I run multiple squads of Death Guard, with buff Lord. Quite fun and hard to shift.

 

Drones are good. Sprayers version.

 

I have Plague Haulers, never killed anything with them. Cover is nice and they eat fire.

 

The elite with the super flamer has been a ball. He one shot an Ork fighter first game I used him.

 

The Terminators are sturdy too, hard to kill. Slow as heck though.
