Goatboy here with my heavy metal Death Guard list that might just be going to the GW New Orleans tournament!

I am currently planning on bringing a new Grey Knight army for the NOLA GW event in a few weeks.  It is almost built and I am doing some paint experiment and will decide from there if I need to finish it up.  Thus I need a backup army that either needs very little work or I have mostly done.  This is the first of my backup armies – a Death Guard mission army designed to try and play the game and not just go stomp people.  It biggie backs off of my Rhino discussion from earlier in the week.

Best of all – it is one dang Battalion just like GW likes.  Plus it only has Plague Marines in it – no needy Poxwalkers or Cultists.  It does run Terminators and some FW so I am not a complete fluff bunny.

Infectious Tactics

This is a pretty simple army – you move to the center, put your boxes in the way, and try to throw Bolters at people.  The Terminators help clean up a bit and you can throw Ferric Blight on a Rhino to rush it forward as needed.  The 3 Dreads gives you the long range firepower to do some damage as needed.  It is a pretty simple list and I can play most missions this way – whether it is throwing Banners on things, Engage some fronts, or just be a pain in the butt.  Plus there isn’t any big units so blasts can eat it.

For Mortarion!
