Greetings from the Eye:
Although I am a longtime Chaos player, and I have played Death Guard in previous editions, I have never played a single game using the 8th ed Death Guard Codex. I bought it when it came out but I was busy with grad school (for the second time . . . and while I was working full time . . . I am a glutton for punishment) and I never had time to play. Now that I have finished my grad school program I want to play some Death Guard. I tried making a 2000-point list today and . . . it did not go well. I have a campaign starting this Saturday in which I need to field a 1000 point and a 2000 point list, and the campaign is expected to last for about ten weeks. Each week I will need to play two games, one with my 1000 point list and the other with my 2000 point list. We're using the Streets of Death campaign map rules from Urban Conquest, but NOT the Cities of Death optional rules. I'm actually very excited about this campaign, but I can't seem to crack the code on the 8th ed Death Guard Codex. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts and suggestions the kind and malevolent entities that dwell on the B&C may have to share with me. To get the ball rolling, when I tried to make my 2000 point list it ended up at well over 2700 points, and I still felt like I was leaving out all the heavy hitters. Even at 2700 points I couldn't find points for any big tanks, no Chaos Land Raiders, no Plagueburst Crawlers, nothing heavier than a Rhino. Here is a quick and dirty summary of the list I built. I'm not going to give exact point numbers because the fact is I am way over points, so trimming some fat here and there is probably not going to be sufficient, I think I need to go back to the foundation and start over. Anyway, here is what I had in my 2700 point list (that was supposed to be 2000 points!), and again I request assistance making my list better:
Dual Battalion
Battalion 1:
HQ1: Typhus
HQ2: Lord of Contagion
T1: Plague Marines x 7 (1 Blight Lauancher, 1 Meltagun)
T2: Plague Marines x 7 (1 Plasmagun)
T3: Poxwalkers x 20
FA1: Foetid Bloat Drone with Plaguespitters
FA2: Foetid Bloat Drone with Plaguespitters
FA3: Foetid Bloat Drone with Plaguespitters
Battalion 2:
HQ1: Daemon Prince of Nurgle (with wings)
HQ2: Malignant Plaguecaster
T1: Plague Marines x 7 (1 Plasmagun)
T2: Plague Marines x7 (1 Plasmagun)
T3: Plague Marines x7 (1 Plasmagun)
T4: Chaos Cultists x 40
T5: Chaos Cultists x 40
FA1: Myphitic Blight-Haulers x3
DD1: Chaos Rhino
DD2: Chaos Rhino
DD3: Chaos Rhino
I would like to add Plagueburst Crawlers, Blightlord Terminators, and maybe even a Chaos Land Raider (or a Spartan . . . or a Fellblade--I love that model), but I simply can't figure out what I am doing wrong with this list and I don't see a way to fit in any of those things. Again, if you have suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
