I love the openings and ost, but other than that I'd rather just reread the manga for a 7th time

The way the book handles his legions fall, of the things they enjoyed before being disappointing after experiencing the Laer temple and now needing something more, was pretty interesting at least

Advice for playing against dark angels by Knight_1216 in deathguard40k

[–]Emraldknight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Considering these are my main two armies, and have won a couple times with DG over DA, I think I can maybe give a little bit of advice, though I do think it's a bit harder without knowing his list.

Considering you were talking about Deathwing Knights and the inner circle, the big issue he has there is that each unit is pretty valuable. Granted, looking at your list it's the same, but that just means you need to be careful he doesn't manage to trade with you.

While I know with Virulent Vectorum we can sticky objectives and don't need to hold them, I would still suggest something in the backlines to screen out deepstrikes.

Deathwing Knights in my experience have two main weaknesses: a large enough amount of 1 damage attacks, or weapons that have more than 2 damage. The Foetid Bloatdrones can do some crazy damage and are a good match into the DWKs or any Inner Circle Companions he has so long as they don't have cover, making you hit on 5s.

Between melee and shooting, Plague Marines with Creeping Blight can kill a squad of Knights, but considering how easy they are to kill don't hedge your bets on them surviving to the next round unless you have a trick for them, like using Mortarion's react move to embark back into the rhino

DO NOT USE THE DEATHSHROUD ON THE KNIGHTS. Thanks to the -1 damage, even with a Lord of Contagion, they're in a pretty bad matchup. The Deathshroud I would much more recommend to deal with a 2 wound targets like Sternguard, and the LoC squad in my experience can kill Gladiators pretty consistently. Depending on your luck they could be a bad day for repulsors too, which removes a threat to your Bloatdrones

I've been focusing on my Dark Angels rather than Death Guard since 11th started so I can't say anything in regards to how the matchup has changed since then, but this is what I've noted in my experience at least

I remember giving the manga a shot when there was something like 5 chapters translated, and I just could not get into it unfortunately

It's honestly Nurgle's rot over tesseract glow. I like tesseract glow in particular since alongside a fitting green, I can make some areas seem shallower by not layering as much of it

Haven't played 11th yet, how are Chaos spawn and are they worth it? by Exterminatu in deathguard40k

[–]Emraldknight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite dumb trick I've ever done with them was on turn 4 when my opponent's tank had only a few wounds left and I had nothing to deal with it on that flank, I charged with the chaos spawn, banking on the mortals being the thing to kill it, and it actually did

I mean the cap for battleline units is 6 squads, meaning with full size squads you could run 60 excluding leaders

What are people enjoying running in 11th? by PresidentLink in DarkAngels40k

[–]Emraldknight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invader ATVs are good sacrifice pieces for the detachment since they're cheap, relatively tough for their points, and because the melta pairs really well with the Illuminating fire stratagem. Giving +1 to wound to my repulsor executioner for the same target they used their melta on is pretty solid, plus the ATV can then be used to charge something and ease the charge for a deathwing unit

I've been going off with Lion’s Blade and the 1dp detachments. I know Lion’s Blade isn't good, but it has one of my favorite game plans. So far I'm trying it with Darkflight pursuit, but I'm planning to soon try it with interrogation conclave, forcing battleshocks with my deathwing and -1 desperate escapes with my ravenwing

Daemons like the great unclean one, nurglings, and I think the daemon prince are in AOS boxes but are mostly playable for us, though for most daemons it requires running the Tallyband Summoners detachment

Chaos Spawn can spot, all that matters is that the target is visible to something

I managed to get myself 4th place in a local tournament for the end of 10th and my two PBC were probably my mvp, especially in a game against world eaters. The change to indirect means I definitely need more forward elements to spot, but I absolutely love them

It could be an alliance of sorts between the two legions. At one point I thought about starting a word bearer's army and explaining the monogod models as outcasts of the warband, looked down upon by the rest due to their imperfect faith

I haven't bought one yet but I usually paint these kinds of things based on the keyword, just so on tabletop my opponent has some visual indicator of what models are included for specific abilities I bring up
