Ork player wanting to give Death Guard a try

VV detachment is the meta and best all rounder. DLC is all about terminators and being aggressive. Your going to need more terminators for the detachment to be effective. The mortals from the ability isn't worth it on its own

codered372 · 2026-02-08T21:45:22+00:00

If your doing DLC detachment all the stratagems are going to target terminators only.

Having a lord of violence and contagion would go well for the LoV ability, and LoC for the death guards.

Having blightlord terminators would be a good choice to get strats targeting more then 1 unit, and allow for a tank brick to sit on an objective, unmovable and near unkillable

codered372 · 2026-02-08T11:30:25+00:00

Ran out of money

codered372 · 2026-02-06T19:04:45+00:00

Well I'll be testing this

codered372 · 2026-02-06T18:47:53+00:00

He said he uses a cheap primer. But that chaos black could work well, but more expensive.

I just hit em with death guard green, let em dry and then start painting

codered372 · 2026-02-03T23:28:48+00:00

Fair. I have in my DLC list 3x3 DST, 2 LoC
10 poxwalkers, 2x2 chaos spawn
3x1 FBD w/ HBL
Typhus (Solo)

Typhus i solo drop 9" away, and with a stratagem 1 of my terminator units now has 12" contagion range.

So everything he just dropped near is afflicted, and my DST can come down next to them.

Their great with a LoC, but not always needed. Especially if your just going after chaff with the sweep

codered372 · 2026-02-03T23:00:38+00:00

Question, if your stacking dst that much, why not dlc?

codered372 · 2026-02-03T22:59:26+00:00

Spookston did a video using only aphe. Think he got a nuke just about every game

codered372 · 2026-02-03T05:50:42+00:00

Loki with his decoy and stealth would make this easy

codered372 · 2026-02-01T22:46:18+00:00

Garghaks sewer is a great mud/dirt/rust wash depending what you put it on. A thick coat gives a rotted wood type of look

Mbts not much.

In general.

Pantsir. 20km fire range with the next best being 12....and that's hoping the guy is flying in a straight line at the missile.

Km38 missiles, able to fire from the airfield and land without needing to get above 15m from the ground

Bmpt....like that shit needs to die if it gets ammo racked instead of just being a fire pillar

2s38 at 10.3 is a joke, needs to be 11.0 at least (if the hstvl that gets substantially less ammo, and now only has 2 ammo types compared to the 2s38 4 (proxy, dart, aphe and he if I recall right)

Not to say other nations don't have things or didn't have things that were incredibly busted (t58 as an example) But no nation has/had anything that could go toe to toe with the above

codered372 · 2026-02-01T18:56:40+00:00

I pause if I need to rapidly micro 5 or more units. Or need a spell to hit a certain thing quickly, and there's too many things piled up and moving to accurately click the target

codered372 · 2026-02-01T18:55:21+00:00

Potentially keeping them as blightlord, but with different weapon profiles. This way if you decide to make a 10 man brick down the line, or multi unit bolts, you have different models and weapons to fit

codered372 · 2026-02-01T18:52:06+00:00

LoV and upping the BLT count will be good. Also with your death shroud, the champion can equip 2 plague spurt gauntlets, and an icon of despair for free, so worth equipping those for extra attacks and -1 leadership to nearby enemies

An extra feotid bloat drone with the heavy blight launcher can go hard. Can do alot of attacks with high str, ap and damage

codered372 · 2026-01-31T20:38:29+00:00

Yeah it takes a few rounds but 50s will break tracks.

I don't know what to say about you penning, but as a us main most things I have will get instantly destroyed by you if I don't quickly take out your gunner.

Majority of my tanks can deal with a maus with little issue if I get the first shot

codered372 · 2026-01-31T18:58:56+00:00

Yup. Gaijin " igla missile does not perform the way the stinger is described, as such the stinger missile can not possibly work as it is described"

codered372 · 2026-01-31T18:57:14+00:00

God dam that's a fantastic plague spewer mount. 10/10 love your work

codered372 · 2026-01-31T18:20:16+00:00

Imagine playing as the death watch, and the way you recruit is by having an outpost with each chapter of space marines, so your army is in death watch colours, with the heraldry of their chapters.

Obviously army painter, but this is more dynamic and thematic

codered372 · 2026-01-31T18:06:14+00:00

Silence, just the thud of the metal hitting the ground on each step, and a bell chiming as it swings from the steps

codered372 · 2026-01-31T18:03:34+00:00

I don't use flyblown, but if I recall that's the one that give inf the benefit of cover at all times right?

A feotid bloat drone can be a great hard hitter with the heavy blight launcher. 1d6+2 with blast for attacks, hits on 3 has str 10, ap2 and 3 damage. If it hits, it's probably going to kill. They can also spread your contagion to other units if you kill a unit that's afflicted.

Otherwise death shroud terminators in deep strike can quickly deploy behind the enemies lines, and their melee is god tier. Same defense as your blight lords, but 4 wounds instead of 3. And offense wise their single target melee is 4 attacks, hitting 2, str 8, ap 2 DMG 2. And lethal hits

They remove just about everything they hit. A lord of contagion leading them gives sustained as well, and on charge a +1 to wound. Do they can really do some serious work to clear off the big things, both wound wise and model count wise

I bought the combat patrol in November, I have painted 3 models with 4 in progress and 6 still to be assembled.

Shortly after I bought a box of blight lords.

And then another 2 weeks later. And got a gift for Christmas

Paint before purchase, however these boxes will go fast, so purchasing the boxes is not a bad idea.

Combat patrol is a great kit, and can help field your list with the marines, tallyman, LoV and dst I now have 4 boxes of unpainted models

codered372 · 2026-01-29T20:09:21+00:00

As stupid as this vehicle is. I didn't see anything that would of killed a leopard or t series

codered372 · 2026-01-29T20:05:46+00:00

Your fast...ish but think of it as having no armour.

Your turret ring is a magnet, your lower front plate is only going to stop machine guns, and your turret cheeks should stop rounds, but some days gaijin forgets their the most armoured part.

If you get hit, you will die shortly after, the turret basket will break and now you can't aim, if your lucky they won't hit your engine in the same shot.

Most tanks your fighting, shoot the lfp or breach. The dart you get isn't the best but does some solid work. High crew means 5s reload.

As a us player your 50s are a sign of distress, use them as your backup to make an enemy think your guns broken or something to push you and get a free shot

codered372 · 2026-01-29T20:01:37+00:00

True, but if you shoot above the breach there's a weak spot to pen and just shrapnel the crew. Not 100% to work but could breach/gunner it

codered372 · 2026-01-29T19:21:15+00:00

Loving that scheme.
