Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000: Battleforce - Death Guard: Plaguefester Warband

Product Information

The very first thing we need to deal with is the Lord of the Death Guard keyword. When constructing your army, each Death Guard detachment may include no more than 1 Lord of the Death Guard. Likewise, each detachment may include no more than 1 Daemon Prince. If you want many lords in your Death Guard HQ you’re going to need multiple samll detachments. On the other hand you’ll easily have room to include psychers in your list. Typhus If you’re after a nigh-unstoppable force that advances inexorably into battle, and against which even the fiercest assault will break, the Plaguefester Warband is the set for you. In addition to a solid force of infantry in the form of Plague Marines and Deathshroud Terminators, you’ll get the supporting firepower of a Plagueburst Crawler and a trio of deadly Myphitic Blight-haulers.

Battleforce a good starting point for Death Guard? Is the new Battleforce a good starting point for Death Guard?

Forge World is returning to Necromunda with some new and highly detailed resin kits, starting with Athera, Blade of the Matriarch . Escher gangs can petition her for help in slicing up enemy gangers with her master-crafted chainaxe. Athera is accompanied into battle by her grumpy Caryatid, Stix, who has the prescience to help them both avoid harm. Necromunda: Escher Shivver and Apprentice Clan Chymist Great online store for board games. They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. For the remainder of his abilities, he shares the L ord of the Death Guard aura with most of the other lords, boosting CORE units in melee. This ability will push him to close with your opponent! The Host of the Destroyer Hive has him handing our mortal wounds to nearby enemy units, again encouraging you to close the distance. Finally, his weapon loadout, master-crafter manreaper and blight grenades, make him an effective fighter against both hard and soft targets. Our next section takes us away from the power driven Lords of the Death Guard. Now we get to add some warp spawned madness to list with a pair of psychers to fill the rest of our Death Guard HQ slots. Malignant Plaguecaster The only currently available model, you’ll find the Malignant Plaguecaster in the Chosen of Mortarion set. Armed with a bolt pistol and corrupted staff, he’s much better in a fight than shooting. But you weren’t taking him for the shooting phase.The Raven Guard favour lightning strikes, and therefore make extensive use of the streamlined Phobos armour – perfect for grabbing the last turkey and making a swift getaway. Chapter Master Kayvaan Shrike leads this strike force from the front, supported by a Librarian in Phobos Armour . The definitive Lord of the Death Guard, Typhus comes with a variety of powers highlighting his power and lore. As the Herald of Nurgle, he may find his way into any Plague Company. However, only with the Harbingers will he carry a contagion. With his Vector of Disease adding 3 inches to their range you’ll want him to have that contagion. Likewise, the Master of the Dead Who Walk aura adds to the effectiveness of Poxwalkers and combines effectively with The Wrathful Dead company stratagem. Did I mention he’s psychic? He knows Smite and 3 powers from the Contagion Discipline. He may manifest 2 and deny 3 per turn. I suppose we should be thankful he doesn’t have Pestilential Fallout as well.

Death Guard with a new battleforce How to collect Death Guard with a new battleforce

Choosing a Death Guard Chaos Lord for your HQ means you’re running your plague company on a budget. He has a basic profile in power armor, broad selection of ranged and melee weapons, and Lord of the Death Guard aura to boost his followers in melee. A 4+ invulnerable from the Sigil of Corruption never is out of style either. This clutch of Knights is a perfectly sized army project – it’s just a handful of miniatures, after all… The Chainbreaker Lance contains four Armiger-class knights led by Canis Rex, a legendary steed piloted by the equally epic Sir Hekhtur. For those of a less Freeblade persuasion, Canis Rex can also be constructed as any Questoris-class Knight.

The Council of the Death Lord is a battleforce of the Death Guards, that is led by the Traitor Legion's Daemon Primarch Mortarion. [1] Description His plaguespewer fires at Heavy 2D6 with auto-hits out to 12 inches. Naturally, it is a plague weapon with a heavy flamer profile. His plague claw hits like a powerfist, but again plague weapon for the win. Finally, the Master of Destruction aura improves the AP of nearby ranged plague weapons by 1 on wound rolls of 6. It makes for a solid buff for all almost all of your heavy and special weapons in CORE units. Lord of Contagion
