Product Information

Changes to the ally rules prevent taking more than a Patrol of Chaos Daemons… but you weren’t taking them anyways. Chaos Cultists • Poxwalkers • Pestigor • Plague Zombies • Plague Ogryn • Thrall Wizard • Tzaangor • Tzaangor Enlightened • Tzaangor Shaman • Dark Disciple I’m also doubling up on Psykers here and that’s both to give myself some additional mortal wounds output/unit support and create some insurance for myself if I want to go for Warp Ritual or Interrogate. There’s a world where I drop the Inexorable here for the Wretched and potentially swap a Plaguecaster for a Daemon Prince. Chaos Rhino • Chaos Predator • Infernal Relic Predator • Chaos Vindicator • Chaos Land Raider • Chaos Land Raider Proteus • Infernal Relic Land Raider Achilles • Land Raider Hades Diabolus • Relic Sicaran Battle Tank • Maulerfiend • Forgefiend • Defiler • Brass Scorpion • Blood Slaughterer • Blight Drone • Foetid Bloat-drone • Kytan • Plague Hulk • Venomcrawler • Myphitic Blight-hauler

Votann are also going to be a huge pain in the ass thanks to having Void Armour, which turns off plague weapons and gives them Armour of Contempt on top of it. They’ve also got decent ways to mitigate a low movement speed with their bikes and shooting which can easily remove your daemon engines. Plague Marine w/ boltgun [84pts]: 4x Blight grenades, 4x Boltgun, 4x Krak grenades, 4x Plague knife The result is that Death Guard feel like a strong mid-tier faction now with some interesting options, but not a faction that is likely to dominate. Deathshroud Champion [1 PL, -1CP, 65pts]: Acidic Malady [1 PL, 15pts], Chimes of contagion, Plague Skull of Glothila, 2x Plaguespurt gauntlet, Stratagem: Champion of Disease [-1CP] Clearly, the Tallyman has been busy writing down new tactics for the Death Guard to use, as War of the Spider features lots of Stratagems. If you like your Plague Marines to get up close and personal, pay a Command Point to make them into Trench-fighters.

Thousand Sons are still a real problem for Death Guard, who have no way to mitigate mortal wounds. Plus the AP-2 shooting from that army is going to hit quite a bit harder, and they’re not really counting on any 2-damage output to force through. The upside is they’re no longer scoring a free 15 off you for Wrath of Magnus, but the downside is they’re probably teleporting into your DZ to score Behind Enemy Lines. The Astra Militarum are going to be likewise tough, with lots of ability to screen out your untis and prevent you from smashing through to their tanks as they hit you from a distance. PBCs can help take out mortars and protect your Poxwalkers, but nothing can stop you from getting shredded by Mortal Wounds from Kasrkin. Blood Reaper • Blood Slaughterer • Blood Throne of Khorne • Brass Scorpion • Cauldron of Blood • Death Dealer • Doom Blaster • Kytan • Lord of Battles • Lord of Skulls • Skull Cannon of Khorne • Tower of Skulls

Blight Drone • Contagion • Foetid Bloat-drone • Myphitic Blight-hauler • Plague Hulk • Plague Tower • Plagueburst Crawler Coming into April, the Death Guard were hurting. Once a steady upper mid-tier performer, the February points update hit them unreasonably hard, and that coupled with a rash of overpowered codex releases left them hovering below a 50% win rate. The new dataslate improves Death Guard dramatically with two changes:Don’s list is an evolution of the vehicle-heavy lists he brought to tables in 2021, though he’s lightened up on the Daemon Engines in favor of Forge World units.
