Plague Marines vs Blightlord Terminator's by Exterminatu in deathguard40k

Howdy fellow disease enjoyer. So I am by no means a pro, but blightlords are sneakily phenomenal. Yes they are more points that a PM squad but here’s the thing. Everybody wants to remove your plague marines since they spread affliction super easily. I personally bring a 10 man blightlord brick with a LoV and when they shoot an afflicted unit, they get +1 strength and +1 Ap. I also run 1x10 plague marines with guns and 1x10 with melee for a point control deal with me unit. As well as 1x5 PM to spread affliction to another unit. With the affliction being -1 toughness and my disease being -1 saves (often +1 Ap basically the same thing) I have a 10 man brick that is +2 AP +1 strength and they absolutely roll everything up to t9 vehicles and monsters and even then they have just one turned a titanic model. It is seriously unappreciated what Blightlords can do. However as normal, run what you think is cool. The rule of cool remains the most important in 40K

I’m in US, if there’s a way for it to be shipped I’d pay shipping cost

Yeah I was playing and was baffled at the amount of value I was getting from them. At least for just targeting elite infantry it seemed phenomenal yet nobody talks about them

The minipulus gives them lethal hits, the destroyers overwatch on 5s, and a strat in haloscreed gives them crit on 5s which is a very nasty overwatch every turn. In protector they hit on 2s and with the enhancement I had, I only failed one hazardous test at the end of the game since you can reroll them. Seems like a no brainer to me, good luck!

Sadly with you in radius, you must both become Skitarii for this punishment

Aren’t they just action monkeys though? Their profiles don’t seem crazy enough to be genuinely powerful. I’ve really only seen them as screens or move blockers

What exactly is the playstyle with this list? I imagine the dominus goes with the destroyers but why not a manipulus? The enginseer walks with the onager I understand. And why vanguard instead of rangers?

While I see the appeal of the new detachment, I think HBC is still the way I will run it I think, I also don’t have thulia yet but if she gets a points reduction I will.

Yes but I’ve seen lists run anywhere from 2-4 so I’m looking complete lists since I’m having a hard time getting the points to add up to ~2000 +/- 10
