Special Officer Doofy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think one of the 5 elite characters needs to be an HQ, and not cost command points to do it. I would like a cheaper HQ option like loyalist get with their Lieutenants. infyrana and Subtleknife 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathor42 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I want rules for the banner bearer that comes in it's own blister. He's expensive and he just counts a icon bearer for plague marine unit that already has a icon bearer in the box.

Wolf Lord Loki Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Necrotic bombardment cp2 - play when a Plague burst Crawler fires its mortar at a target. for every additional Plague Burst Mortar firing at the same target it causes an additional D3 mortal wounds in addition to the regular damage (the 'so lethal even plague bearers give it a funny look) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someguy11 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'd love to see the Tallyman become an HQ and get rules similar to chaplains/apostles. Also, a new dedicated Nurgle chaos lord with updated rules. We are not hurting for models really just a boring and outdated codex.

Raktra Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Tallyman 100% needs to be an HQ! Give the Blightbringer a shooting attack from his bell too, all the fluff and novels have it working as some kind of Nurgle-y sonic weapon, let it happen. infyrana and Special Officer Doofy 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the Blightbringer a shooting attack from his bell too, all the fluff and novels have it working as some kind of Nurgle-y sonic weapon, let it happen. He has kinda a chaplainy vibe about him. Make him the relation to the Dark Apostle? With a specific set of Contagion prayers? The tosicin of the Noxious Blightbringer is reminiscent of the bell the Great unclean one summons additional daemons with (and those on the feculent gnarlmaw) so possibly move him into a daemonologist role Special Officer Doofy and Raktra 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lord Loki Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Just had a thought. Why don't we just amalgimate the terminator Lord with the Lord of Contagion? Have an option to Replace the both combibolter and sword with plague/manreaper May replace Command aura (reroll 1s) with PSYKER and choose from Force Weapon menu and Contagion psychic discipline Jobs a good one with less duplication of chaos units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorroth Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Plague marines cheaper. Myphitics to BS3+ so that tri lobe gives BS 2+ Buff helbrutes BS Make disgustingly resilient army wide. We do not have access to havocs, so giving DR to predators would make them much better. I want to stop replying on FW dreads to have some anti tank.

Hathor42 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Sadly GW doesn't seem to like to change rules very much on existing models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaeinox Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) I saw the .pdf GW will post Monday for the next psychic awakening book's short story series. It's Tau and they mention being attacked by Death Guard. It's Tau perspective, but makes the Death Guard seem pretty implacable from the video that an interstellar drone shares with some Tau watching the recording. The story describes Death Guard bolters as making a wet sound when they fire. Edited January 8, 2020 by Archaeinox Hathor42 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgascoine011 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Played a game the other day against raven guard sucessors 3 BPC failed to kill a single eliminator. Infact, they could not do a single wound to an eliminator. Death Guard are just currently pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Officer Doofy Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Disappointingly it appears we will get no love with the next book in the Psychic Awakening series From the looks we won't be in the next three. That leaves necron, custodes/sisters of silence, death watch/inquisition, harlequins and death guard. 5 factions for the last 2 books. But since they added imp guard to greater good I rather not be in it, since that's already 3 factions. The only crappy thing about being in one of the last two is I would think when they restart the codex cycle this summer (which they will, space marines and sisters were the start of the new cycle) we should be one of the earlier codexes. I'm not going to pay $40 for PA book just for 5ish months later the new codex come out. Plus the PA book will just add strats, relics and warlord traits anyways, which will be nice but not fix our core issues. The codex will make the trait army wide and by then they will realize they made the space marine supplements too strong with the doctrines and super doctrines they will have to do something similar with most factions.

infyrana Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I really want them to put DG and DW together - I might actually have a reason to pickup the book then ! I'd like to see mono dex be competitive (marine based strengths would be awesome) - I don't know what they'd have to shift around for rules.

Metoo, and if they don't do anything and just go "chaos can soup to be competitive!" I'll probably quit playing for an edition or two again until it's addressed.

Wolf Lord Loki Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Deathwatch / necrons / harlequins seems like an obvious match up So I guess that means that the reason for the plague fleet not assaulting the Tau beyond the Startide Nexus was that it got intercepted by a force of Custodes/ sisters of silence and inquisition Its kinda a shame as Tau embody hope and Death Guard = despair so they would be mirrored ethos Edited January 30, 2020 by Wolf Lord Loki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Officer Doofy Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Deathwatch and inquisition will be together. Talons of the emperor will be the custodes and sisters of silence. I was really hoping death guard were going to be with the Tau but owell. I've been taking a break from playing on the table top anyways. Psychic awakening has been pretty half assed. None of the books come close to the space marine supplements in power. I don't understand why they thought balance wise it would be cool to give the largest faction a new dex and supps and then just do this crappy bandaid for everyone else. I would have rather they just started doing the new codexes already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANYTHING to get rid of this ridiculous space marine meta and reset it to normal. Then with new rules they could perhaps make DR army wide and give our boltguns AP or something. The iron Hands are MORE resilient than the death guard and more shootier than the iron warriors. I know GW has space marine bias but this is literally worse than the knight meta.

It's all to sell Primaris marines. GW doesn't care about balance, they sell plastic first and rules second. I'll probably wait for the codex. Too many marine players out there. Don't get your hopes up. I highly doubt we are getting rule changes in PA, just the same stuff as the other factions; relics, warlord traits and strats.

Plague _Lord Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Valrak just posted a video on YT, with content from something called "conquest". It has 2 Deathguard stratagems in it. Does anybody know if these are mission specific strats or something new for us? Strat 1 - 2cp, use before a blighlauncher shoots, if it hits then the targeted unit get's -1 to saves. Strat 2 - 1 cp, use at start of enemy move phase - select enemy unit within 6'' of a deathguard model, it get's -2'' to advance and charge rolls. if they are not locked to a certain mission/campaign then I would be very happy!

Wolf Lord Loki Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Which issue of Conquest is it? My nephew collects that magazine so I might be able to track down a copy EDIT: managed to take a screen shot of them from the YouTube video. They aren't bad.

Plaguecaster Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) That blight launcher one would be awesome Just wish could have a havoc style squad with multiple blight launchers, would be even nicer if that affected out plague marine bolters I really want more stuff that benefits taking lots of plague marines Edited February 22, 2020 by Plaguecaster infyrana 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the shooting turn regular marines would only get a 4+ armour save. Makes it easier to make that unit really dead. Get that blight launcher to paint your target then pour the fire in Its a good strategem!!
