I'm not sure if you guys are thinking about new content ideas. However, I know a few channels have a "fix my list" type series. I really enjoy them, and they do seem pretty popular. I feel like I always learn something from them, and a Death Guard specific one would be unreal!
My list I took to recent team’s tournament probably needs fixing. I love the DG but coming 40th out of 40 was rough I did misplay a couple times but everything just seemed to get countered
I picked up the deathguard pattol kit and everything to play and build them yesterday, and just found you on a youtube search im so hyped to watch/listen/play
18:57 - 19:43 your excitement is palpable, and contagious! i picked up Dark Imperium back in the day, kinda got overwhelmed by how much went into building and learning it; just cracked it open again and was dismayed to learn I’m now 2 editions behind. I was seriously considering washing my hands of the whole thing, but figured “well lemme at least look into it a bit first”. Lo and beold, first vid I land on has a knowledgable player break down the DG army in such an easygoing, digestible, contagious-excitement way-all while being super chill and positive and rule-of-cool forward. You’ve not only cleared the bad taste for me but more than rekindled my interest! I’m on track to have a combat patrol’s worth of models ready by end of month, with a gnarly Typhus kitbash curing in the shadows as we speak! Anyway, this timestamp is what really sold me. Thanks for taking the time to make these vids. May the winds of Chaos be ever at your back! 🤘
This comment made me smile, I'm really glad you found the video and it helped you move past those worries and start collecting and building this awesome army! This is what I made the channel for and I'm really glad to know its doing as id hoped and inspiring people to get into this hobby and more specifically this awesome faction! Welcome to the plod squad plague marine!
Went a bought my first ever combat patrol to build my stinky boys up some more I'm so excited to get them put together and painted and see what they do this gets me so excited!!!!
Found this channel today because I'm feeling the call of Nurgle again. I picked up the Council of the Death Lord when it originally came out and... well the temptation to use Mortarion in a 1k army is just too tempting in 2024. I think adding a Rhino, Typhus and a Foul Blightspawn might be exquisite.
This army has me in a stranglehold 😂 I’m starting to kitbash more and more and now I’m looking into a traitor guard with nurgle flavor after making my cultists.
As someone who just bought their first Warhammer set (Combat Patrol Death Guard) and is beginning to assemble, I think I’ve found this video, and channel, at the perfect time. Super excited to rep the Plaguey Bois.
this must be fate! ive bin contemplating on joining this hobby this past few months ... absolutely love the death guard and how they look , it was either them or adepta sororitas but this vid solidified my choice. Cant wait till they come , Great video !
Your content, compared with your personality is golden. I ve just started this 40k thing and just want the Death Guard (coming from AoS). I’m building, converting, spending too much money and Having a blast with it.
Just getting back into the hobby after many years away. Was always a fan of Nurgle so clearly Death Guard was the way to go. Just wanted to thank you for putting the time into these episodes they have been of great help to a new player like myself. Also enjoy listening to your guys podcast on Spotify during my drive to work. Keep up the amazing stuff and good luck spreading that disease 🦠 across the boards.
The problem that arises from the Combat Patrol is not merely giving you an overabundance of Poxwalkers, though that's part of the "real" problem: it's a bad box if you want to buy it in multiples. Typhus, a named character, can't be fielded more than once in a list. And he's rather distinctive, which will make kitbashing him into a different character tricky. An ideal Combat Patrol, for the customer at least, is one that can be taken multiple times. Because armies are expensive, especially at the highway robbery prices GW charges. Discount boxes are essential for players looking to build their force. The fact that Death Guard get a box with a named character and a bunch of Poxwalkers isn't helpful. Buying it once is good. Buying it multiple times is a waste of money. The box would be better if it had another generic character, and maybe a Daemon Engine as stated in the video. Since GW seems intent on replacing Combat Patrols this edition with new variants, it might be a positive change for Death Guard. Even if, as seems to be the pattern, the new box ends up giving you fewer points and/or models.
I just started 40k last month. Loving Orky boyz but damn do I adore the aesthetic of the DG. Those plague mortars and the Marines just have so much style and appeal to me. DG is def gonna be my second army. I also want to learn to paint on the Orks since if I goof, its Orky. Then get some real detail work in with DG. That and I'll already be working in green and rust paints >.>
I got a really great foundation in the Know No Fear box -- basically Dark Imperium without the two extra characters, and a 5 man plague squad, and only 10 poxwalkers. It might be a bit easier to find than Dark Imperium halves, and pair a bit better with the Combat Patrol to give you 2 units of 20 walkers rather than 50. Still, this is really helpful!
I switched from Death Guard to regular CSM (Word Bearers) and seeing this, plus finally looking at the index for them for 10th makes me really want to look at Death Guard again. CSM for some reason never felt great to me playing (maybe a big reason why I dislike 10th) but reading the DG datasheets they actually look pretty solid.
I started a year and a half ago. Picked up dark imperium, Council of Death guard, and plague fester battle Force. Which was great because I got death guard on sale but I've only built about half and painted pox walkers. Felt so burnt out and under achieving making things worse. I took a 4 month no Warhammer break to bring me back into it. I need to come up with a set paint paint plan and just stick to it. My pox walkers don't look that good but hopefully I can improve a little...
Thank you for this guide. I just about to finish my first 500 Pts. For me Death Guard is best looking army, giving a lot of fun for building and painting. Lets see how they will perform on the table for me ;)
As somebody getting into Death Guard as my first army right now this is adding even more to my hype to get started. Hopefully you'll go into good tactics for us later down the line since that's one thing I'd love to get to know better
Great preview of the Death Guard! Can't wait for your next episode. I'm one of those people that skipped the combat patrol because of the sheer number of poxwalkers. I also see that GW seems to be releasing new combat patrol for each new codex release. No doubt, likely giving us less value for the future combat patrol but also likely fixing the # poxwalkers issue. Fingers crossed.
Hello ! First of all, great content ! I am glad I found your channel before jumping into DG. A question for you: what would be your ideal 500 pts list that you could then expand little by little ? Thanks for your answer !
Death Guard don't deal damage? I think this is what one of my opponents thought when they heroically intervened a Brutalis into a 6 man Death Shroud Terminator unit that had a LoC on an objective that I had control of. The look on their face when I had massive lethal and Sustained hits due to strats/Buffs.
How do you feel about people who want to play deathguard but don't like the fleshy mutations? I would love to make a more hex or curse themed deathguard army but don't know if people would react poorly.
Honestly that sounds awesome, as far as id be aware nobody would have an issue with that i have seen many conversions of armies, Rat mech, Lizardmen CSM all sorts of crazy stuff and this was at tournaments too and nobody ever had an issue. Its your hobby mate remember the golden rule, if its cool to you then your all good! And anybody that does have issue (which i promise basically nobody will) isn't somebody worth worrying about
@@deathguarddisgustinglyresilien thanks for the response. I am new to the tabletop and when I was reading up on it online it was hard to find good information on how different you can make your army.
Man , I love this army- and what an amazing ambassador you are for the Death Guard and all the plague brethren out there.
Thanks for the kind words and ongoing support mate means a bunch!
I've got a death guard army in my future. This channel is proving a great resource!
I'm glad your finding it useful!
I bought two sprues from the Dark Imperium box set and have 0 regrets. The LoC model has got to be one of the coolest models in the game.
I'm not sure if you guys are thinking about new content ideas. However, I know a few channels have a "fix my list" type series. I really enjoy them, and they do seem pretty popular. I feel like I always learn something from them, and a Death Guard specific one would be unreal!
That's a cool idea maybe we could do it as a stream at somepoint
My list I took to recent team’s tournament probably needs fixing. I love the DG but coming 40th out of 40 was rough
I did misplay a couple times but everything just seemed to get countered

Your a great ambassador for Death Guard and the sport/hobby of Warhammer in general. Keep it up man I enjoyed this video a ton!!
This army has me in a stranglehold 😂 I’m starting to kitbash more and more and now I’m looking into a traitor guard with nurgle flavor after making my cultists.
Just like a disease it spreads and worsens with time!
I started the hobby at the end of last year and this is a godsent since my first army will be death guard as well
New to Warhammer 40K, started with Orks and enjoying them. Strongly leaning towards Death Guard as a second army, guess I like green. Thanks for this!
This was a pleasant surprise. Made my Sunday, thanks Aiden.
As someone who just bought their first Warhammer set (Combat Patrol Death Guard) and is beginning to assemble, I think I’ve found this video, and channel, at the perfect time. Super excited to rep the Plaguey Bois.
Welcome to the plod squad!
I have to say, what rotten luck for me to choose to look into death guard just after this video series started!
this must be fate! ive bin contemplating on joining this hobby this past few months ... absolutely love the death guard and how they look , it was either them or adepta sororitas but this vid solidified my choice. Cant wait till they come , Great video !
YESSS JOIN THE PLAGUE LEGIONS!

Hell yeah welcome to 40k and the Death guard!
I played my first real 10th ed game with my DG, i appreciate the insight and passion!
How did it go :D and thank you
Great Video. Love promotion of the rule of cool. Your ultimate goal should be to be ranked at 7!

Yeah I hope the new combat patrol box is a lot more balanced in its contents
Started this army during COVID... Somehow it felt appropriate.

Bro get out of my walls I just got a death guard combat patrol the other day
I assemble your models whilst your sleeping
Assembling is so hard…
After having built flayed ones in the past.. yeaaah it can be grim xD
