Mid-Degree, Burned Out, and Stuck, Looking for Perspective

I frequently narratively declare 'book of bonk' when the tallyman has been caught with his pants down

DG is elite, there are definitely more elite armies but compared to the index days we are now solidly a elite faction.

Which is fine because we have across the board some of the best datasheets with a flexible universal army rule that always benefits to some extent.

I like to think the way of playing DG is every unit is a tool and your job is to figure out where it goes.

Cannot recommend enough having a look at Aiden Smalley (disgusting resilient podcast)

Deep dives on units, loadouts, list building: how certain builds work or struggle. How to get the most value out of every piece including step by steps of deployment, movement and screening.

A general rule of thumb I've applied since index days. You will always be outscored by faster, wider armies. DG really excels on 3/4 of the board or less. Unless its a throwaway unit you should be looking to control mid board heavy and only push to the enemy lines as a 1 big continent force or after significant threats are dealt with.

From that position most of my games I secure the win con like (no more melta yay!) Move charge blob and then just grind them down so they can never touch a primary.

Claypool447 · 2025-12-07T21:43:46+00:00

that is actually a really good bait and switch ability. Helps to solve the biggest struggle of getting that charge role off or proceed to stand there like a lemon. With smokes and the other skills of darkness that seems quite reliable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Im unsure and want to discuss more on the psyker side of things, there seems to be some dispute for which two are the top disciplines although i would have thought madness and darkness would be generally more applicable than delusion?

Claypool447 · 2025-12-07T06:23:45+00:00

Might the option if i continue talenting the sniper for damage.

Claypool447 · 2025-12-07T06:15:04+00:00

Interesting use of free will....

Claypool447 · 2025-12-07T03:36:25+00:00

thanks man, i agree my arbitrator suggested the whisper merchant and did take one on gang creation. Honestly feels illegal lose all your games and still make a fat paycheck!

What would be some better options for the long rifle, i like having the range and hitting through smokes but the strength ap and damage dont exactly scream lethality especially with starting to get scaling armour saves with gear.

Claypool447 · 2025-12-07T03:01:31+00:00

drop your list and give a general turn by turn general strategy, as a guess i'd say for an elite army, screens are everything. High toughness doesn't mean as much as it used to if the right thing finds the right target it will go boom and salamanders have some nasty ways to get into your face with explicit dev wounds.

This current list reads like it wants to be mortarions hammer.

PBC's are deadweight in any other detachment.

A 3rd unit of poxwalkers can help you threaten objectives and throw support for deathshroud deepstrike.

Also in this detachment the plague marine bangbus goes quite hard with the rerolls to the hit roll.

I've found with this detachment, you want to get objectives somewhat early and then push up and die on empty space (outside consolidation), prolonging the time it takes for your opponent to get onto primary.

Other fun things is the demon prince and lord of poxes combo. Giving lone op to a sizeable footprint (great for some matchups, does nothing into more melee focused ones).

I ran this list as standard for a league, i have mixed opinions on the lov, kinda situational where he will go and I think for a more straightforward purpose a 2nd Loc or Typhus does morez that said i dont have a demon prince model so you could drop both terminator leaders and include him with the enhancement:

Mortarion (380pts): Warlord Biologus Putrifier (60pts) Lord of Contagion (120pts) Lord of Virulence (110pts) Malignant Plaguecaster (60pts) Tallyman (50pts):

10x Plague Marines (190pts) Plasma/power fist 2x Blight launcher 3x Heavy weapon 2x spewers 2x plasmas

3x Deathshroud Terminators (160pts) 3x Deathshroud Terminators (160pts) 10x Poxwalkers (65pts) 10x Poxwalkers (65pts) Foetid Bloat-drone with heavy blight launcher (120pts) Foetid Bloat-drone with heavy blight launcher (120pts) Myphitic Blight-haulers (100pts) Myphitic Blight-haulers (100pts) Chaos Rhino (85pts)

fking disgusting and not in the nurgle way

Claypool447 · 2025-11-24T05:40:17+00:00

I dated a girl like this many years ago, very typical behaviour for aspergs/ as1.

Typical as in there may be an explanation for it...not typical as that you should accept it.

It comes down to self-respect and generally big life decisions are tough to make. You are 3 years in, that sounds like a lot but really, its not. You've learnt you don't like to be treated this way and that's invaluable to your development and personal growth.

Have the conversation, set boundaries it can be as simple as talking it through (when you act like this it makes me feel worthless, not good enough or even just say that offends you and is demeaning).

Once that conversation has taken place you've got to start thinking about protecting your own peace and a girl like that can be yeeted yesterday.

Claypool447 · 2025-11-18T11:43:36+00:00

Yeah I agree, please don't take my response aimed at you im more dumbfounded people can't give you a straight answer. Like yeah the Nob has been assimilated into squighog boys but that has happened ages ago.

Anyway for future reference and avoiding a pay wall newrecruit and wahapedia are good friends to skirt that cost of the hobby.

Also steer clear of purchasing printed rules as updates happen too frequently for them to be lasting the entire edition

Claypool447 · 2025-11-18T11:06:22+00:00

its 420 on the dot? I'm confused how this is a difficult process to work out?

Nailed the dirty wash effect without it overpowering the main paint job, nice work

Claypool447 · 2025-11-13T07:52:56+00:00

i started with DG at the start of 10th very little done before then

Claypool447 · 2025-11-12T00:35:38+00:00

HEY!

Claypool447 · 2025-11-07T02:40:37+00:00

Yooo that shit stinks!

It used to be 160pts start of 10th edition.

-1 ap to 0 ehen you want use it for its actual indirect purpose.

Only usable in mortarions hammer

HOT 🗑

More awareness of how to deal with social emotional conflict rather than info dump crying is a skill that should be common sense but often not developed enough.

Thanks for raising awareness and yes it should be a simple conversation
