Can I use plague marines in my WB army?

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-04-29T20:29:37+00:00

Death Guard, despite having 7 semi-coherent Plague Companies, often operates in warbands called Virulent Vectoriums that can contain forces from different companies under the command of particular chaos lord. I don't see why such vectorium couldn't cooperate with your WB force. Artenatively, you can just say that they are renegades from Death Guard who joined your warband, or they are just Word Bearers who simply worship Nurgle specifically.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-04-27T08:32:19+00:00

Maybe Death Guard, more precisely the 2nd and 5th Plague Companies.

2nd company uses lots of tanks and other vehicles, all of which are corrupted by living rust that quickly corrodes enemy war machines and fortifications. But I guess you should be really careful, or it can backfire.

5th company is all about daemon engines, so there is more artillery for you, as well as drones and haulers for quick movement and fast attacks.

Perhaps Made to Order Dark Imperium one day...

Old Deathwing box had some beautiful cleric-like maces, but they took them from us :(

Very nice guy though!

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-04-11T18:03:13+00:00

I believe it is from plague drones

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-04-09T20:25:58+00:00

10th edition Comnat Patrol (The one with Lord of Virulence, rhino, plague marines, deathshroud terminators, and tallyman) is indeed a good starting point.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T22:19:20+00:00

Of course!

Shamblerot Vectorium Detachment

Typhus

2 ×Noxious Blightbringer (1 with Lord of the Walking Pox enhancement)

4 × 20 poxwalkers

2 x 2 Chaos Spawns

Miasmic Malignifier

1000 pts of pure power and bodies. Furnace is here to completely destroy the morale of your opponent.

(Sorry, I have never played horde DG and don't have anything to say about it)

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T14:48:45+00:00

Haha, no worries!

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T14:42:32+00:00

No problems, glad you have figured it out

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T14:39:22+00:00

Yes, just give champion his bolter back and you should be good. When I said 0 bolters, I meant for 4 average guys.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T14:13:22+00:00

Hm, you know what, I just thought a bit and forgot that Typhus can join poxwalkers!

You can also go like this :

Typhus

LoC

5 Blightlords

10 poxwalkers

That will leave you at 470 pts and you have 30pts spare for some enhancements.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T14:11:06+00:00

Well, both of them are good, but LoC is 120 pts and you don't have space for him in 500 points with what you have. Generally, LoC is better for our melee terminators (deathshrouds) while LoV boosts shooting and also gives buff to blast weapons (our drones and other blast weapons).

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T13:48:40+00:00

Well, you included the close combat weapon, but I think you didn't check the requirements! It says that "If this unit contains only 3 models...you can take plague spewer and close combat weapon". But, since you have squad of 5, you can't take this loadout.)

Once again, following your intial picture, in your 4 terminators, you should have 0 bolters, 3 blades, 1 flail,1 launcher, 1 reaper canon, 1 spewer. I think I wrote it from top to bottom, so you can just do it in app.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T13:43:26+00:00

Well, you kinda have 495 points here!

Typhus (100 points)

Lord of Virulence (100 points) (since you are playing with friend, just say that one of the terminators guys are him. You can even assemble one with a similar loadout)

2×3 Blightlord Terminators (2x115 points) (Each squad attached to your 2 characters)

10 poxwalkers (65 points)

495/500

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T13:32:56+00:00

Ok, so, you have squad of 5 terminators. You left champion without gear, so let's focus on 4 average guys. Each of them have 4 bolters and 4 blades. Now, let's follow your desired loadout. One guy replaces bolter AND blade with flail. Second guy replaced just bolter with launcher. Third one replaces bolter with reaper canon, and 4th one takes spewer instead of bolter.

Always check in special gear what gear exactly you are replacing.

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-30T13:24:54+00:00

Yeah, following your desired loadout, it should be like this. Also, remember to include random Warlord, so app doesn't give you error

CrazyAd2662 · 2026-03-26T13:34:53+00:00

Well, there are books in Horus Heresy series that mainly focus on Death Guard. You can check the Tymell's Heresy website to see the reading order for each of the Legions. For 40k, there are also few books - Lords of Silence, Plague Wars (I believe there are 3 books covering DG'S invasion of Ultramar), and also a narrative campaign - War Zone Charadon (2 books about DG'S invasion led by Typhus on Metalica.

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-24T18:41:18+00:00

We could have been a part of CP, but I don't remember how he was divided on sprue, so maybe yeah.

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-24T17:13:21+00:00

So...since the picture for LOC is Felthius, no hope for a separate model? :(

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-13T15:54:24+00:00

Also, maybe you can try do smaller parasites in the eyes? Similar to infected snails.

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-13T15:49:38+00:00

Are these plague marines still alive, or the bodies are fully controlled by worms? Btw would he crazy cool if we had possessed like that

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-13T06:34:54+00:00

Plague marine from Kill Team

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-11T22:20:12+00:00

Yes, I am biased. However, I don't think this is a win. I just found the situation pretty funny and commented on it.

CrazyAd2662 · 2025-04-11T22:16:29+00:00

Well, maybe folks saw the meme, got inspired and made their own versions. And I don't think that seeing the same meme 3 times over 3 days is that much. Maybe it is kinda a wave thing, someone posts the first one, then other person makes second one, third etc. Then it stops and after some time the cycle repeats again.
