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?

#

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

tidal kelp
#

but if you have any suggestions for what to bring instead im happy to hear them

rich sail
#

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

tidal kelp
#

way ahead of ya

#

nemesis recons

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

tidal kelp
#

so what should i swap

buoyant dove
#

Hmm tough question

buoyant dove
#

Have you built painted anything in this list?

tidal kelp
#

nope

#

well ive printed out the librarian

#

and thats all

tidal kelp
#

i did have some assault destoryers in here

#

but i thought they were a little too mean

#

@buoyant dove what would be the benifit of bringing a primary deathguard detachment

buoyant dove
#

It would let characters join units but if your running terror assault it will be no good as night lords must be primary

tidal kelp
#

so just use the reaping to get some more fire support then

fiery flint
#

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

tidal kelp
#

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

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
