why the land raider?
Landraider seems odd
drop the combi weapon on the sergeant, you can't fury with it, take artificer armour instead
similarly drop the serpenta on the delgatus, it's range is poor, 8
you'd already get the extra attack from the boltpistol
- upgrade his potential relentless shooting, give him a nemesis bolter, or something with some AT, considering you have non
maybe a combi-melta
What is this list allied to?
nightlords
thats "ok" as they're fellow warrios that way, but if you wanted it better, you'd want DG primary, and NL allies when they're sworn brothers (remember Primary is across the top)
my understanding is bringing deathgurd lets me bring some heavy support as ive only got two slots in my whole army as im bringing terror assult
and the land raider is because i have one for my istvaan3 painted up as deathguard and i thought it would be nice to have at least one tank in my infantry heavy army
but if you have any suggestions for what to bring instead im happy to hear them
you could probably swap the tacs out for nemesis bolter vets
you can have them as compulsorys and they help nightlords leadership shenigans a lot
I’d swap something out to put something in the landraider as they are pretty decent with death guard’s movement bonus. I usually run some wardens in one with a cat centurion. Works well enough
also ignore the rapiers, those weren't meant to be there lol
i mean im lacking any sort of range and or anti tank
so what should i swap
Hmm tough question
Have you built painted anything in this list?
@buoyant dove what would be the benifit of bringing a primary deathguard detachment
It would let characters join units but if your running terror assault it will be no good as night lords must be primary
so just use the reaping to get some more fire support then
you could, but you're not going to do particularly well for 3 or 4 turns with allies, as Night Fighting will limit their effectiveness, down to 24 visibile and -1 BS (and -1LD)
it would be better to take more weapons on platforms that NL benefit from
javelins proteus landspeeders or sabres, which can get preysight, and mitigate all negative effects of nightfightning, AND benefit from the same buffs as the rest of your army
these are just my comments from when I play NL as DG, i'd suggest sticking hard for NL due to NF, while you can't get HSS slots, you have other options in many other slots, some which are more economical for heavy weapons
yes but i want to do an infantry heavy army
because i cant get tanks
they take a LOT of resin
and i have no money to buy plastic
sure, then understand that your HSS will do very little (they will be deploying in your deployment zone), can't run, and will only be able to shoot targets within 24, which is return fire able from almost any target
DG HSS are brilliant even in night fighting as they can move and shoot and with an augary scanner at only 10 points will be shooting at there full range. -1 BS isn’t to bad the night fighting gives decent protection from returning fire
