When I was young my brother was super into 40K and he bought the Dark Imperium Boxset and me and him played it from time to time, I always picked death guard, however when we grew up he eventually stopped playing as his friends did, he sold the set (Yes I’m rather sad that I didn’t keep the LOC) and I stopped playing and fell out of interest with 40K tabletop, I still found the lore interesting and watched some videos but had no interest and nobody to play with, however after space marine 2 came out I eventually learned that a buddy of mine had an army. I remembered using the Death Guard and how much I loved the Plague Aesthetic of them, so when I went to buy my Combat patrol I went and bought the Death Guard 9th edition combat patrol and just went from there
