Goatboy’s Warhamer 40K – Daemon Engine Death Guard
Goatboy here with a Morty and his Daemon Engine list I can truly build right now while I wait for GW to update the CSM ones.
Nottingham just wants me to suffer in anguish as I look at all my Maulerfiends and how they could be hitting on 3’s. One day my dream will come – but until then I have to suffer in silence as I play all my gross Death Guard versions. Of course, I have some painted so I can play this list pretty quickly – bar updating an old Daemon Prince I made out of a Bloat Drone, throwing on some Chainsaw arms from a Killer Kan, and getting it to match paint wise the rest of my army. If you haven’t figured it out – I like the Close combat ones a lot.
One day, one day *shakes fist*
With that – let’s get onto the list. I think going into the Myphtic Bloat Drones is the way to go as it gives me some much better shooting, a big batch of bodies to keep alive for a while, and I have 6 of them painted. All of those things mean – taking 2 units will be Key to my Plague Tiger Victory.

Using Morty and His Toys
This is a pretty simple list – you got all the vehicles that will move and shoot, throw out a decent amount of shots, and some close combat ability. I keep thinking the FW Drone might be worth it too – but getting them might be hard to justify. The Daemon Prince is set up to be a pain to remove as he moves around and throws a 4+ inv save on the Drones most of the time. I almost wish I could give him the reroll all hits and wounds but who knows if it will be worth it. Still – this is a nice Daemon Engine army. If you want to get rid of Morty you could look at then throwing in 2 Plague Burst Crawlers as you push on more of the fast daemons for Nurgle. It also means you shift the Daemon Prince a bit with some wings to get him to be the 3rd most expensive unit.
Praise Grandfather Nurgle!
