Following on from a cracking (and close) game against Winters at Weekend at Burnies (see my batrep here), I took a Death Guard list to play him at the weekend. I was looking for a combination of fluffy but still effective. I tried this force out against Kraken a couple of weeks ago, and it has beautiful Nurgle symmetry: three "Flies" with the number seven embedded in each Fly. Apart from the threes and sevens, I wanted to include some newly modelled Death Guard Possessed, built from a mixture of the AoS Putrid Blightkings, the two old Greater Possessed (now downgraded to lose their Greater status) and a few other new acquisitions (like the Possessed, the Plague Surgeon and Plaguecaster have only been fielded in the test game against Kraken).
First Fly (seven characters):
- HQ - Maxwell's Daemon, Daemon Prince. Hellforged Sword, Miasma of Pestilence, Warp Insect Hive relic and Revoltingly Resilient as additional warlord trait (-1CP)
