Please GW, allow him to join terminators, pleease): 58:54
Picked up death guard at end of 9th and this series couldn’t have come at a more perfect time to get back into the hobby. Listened to the last few videos a few times each now as I pick up more stuff on each listen.
GW missed an opportunity to buff the LoC by allowing him an aura that procs a second contagion effect. Imagine a unit that stacks the -ws/bs and -save?
Or something like before, just +3 inch to his aura. Then we could stack with the enhancement for a +6 inch aura. Deep strike him round 2 to get a 12 inch aura or round 3 to get a 15 inch aura. That alone would make him great. But I agree that he does nothing right now :/
If the plague surgeon could take a page out of the tech marine rulebook and get lone operator if near a unit and be allowed to heal or resurrect in any unit. Would be great to chase terminators around.
May I ask you to confirm something please? You mention about the Tallyman not being able to do his CP farm while in a transport which is correct. But if you see page 11 in the Rules Commentary under ‘reserve units’ the last sentence reads as if the tallyman can CP farm while he’s off the board in reserves!? 😂
i think the surgeon should have ability to heal any model in our army as a techmarine because our vehicles actually are living creatures along with lone op if near daemon unit
I really love the Icon Bearer because since their ability applies to the ENTIRE UNIT they love hanging out with their Bell buddy so they can spread their -2LD further as well. Chaos Space Marines will reconsider their Dark Pacts (possibly)
Heyyyyy Aidan, this was a great video! Can you do us a favor? In videos like this, it'd be great to add Chapters to this video to make it easier for people to find the information they want about the specific characters. I'd love to reference this video with the specific timestamps for people when they have questions on the Facebook Group/Discord/Reddit about certain characters and whether or not they're worth taking, and it'd be easier to find those specific timestamps if you had chapters set up for each character. As for what I'd like to hear next; I'd love to hear more about your ideas and examples of how your tournament list is evolving post-dataslate.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback and the timestamps in your comment i have added chapters to the video hope this is better and ill try to remember this going forward! - Aiden
I need this series to learn more. Im new on here, learning w40k, and i just love Death Guard theme, even if itsnot in his best shape(as you say) i wanna learn to play this factions, just look badass. I really trying to push the Miasmic Malignifier to the table to morph the map to my favor, its really intresting 😂. Right now im playing only 1k armys cos need to learn all about the game but, wanna say, thanks for the time on make this videos, i really apresiated.
Thank you for these oxford tier death guard lectures. Who needs over powered rules when you can learn the ins and out from the best. Cheers mate. One thought maybe do an addendum video for balanced dataslates to kinda speak on how this changes your opinion on things in the future. Just a thought. Keep it up and have a wonderful day
Another excellent deep dive, sir! I always pick up another new nuance i wasn't taking advantage of every time i watch one. To touch on your point about un-attached characters. I gave party bus a try this weekend and realized i wasn't ready to manage so many activations efficiently -- but I'd love to go over some real world examples of how you'd attack a situation with any given unit, especially good characters. Set up a board, put some kind of normal game situation into motion and lets break down strategies of death guard against . Who are our best matchups? worst matchups? Hows a deployment look against them? When should you deepstrike vs not Love to pick your brain more
I consider myself a DG fiend reping them since I started Warhammer with them in 8th and I thought I've thought of everything. Until you mentioned the BS using his advance weapon for the rhino to action is fucking brilliant
With Random secondaries and having gone first; My unit of Plague marines with a Noxious Blightbringer and an Icon bearer I was able to charge with the unit and their Land Raider, with 1CP to reroll the charge was able to max out 'Behind Enemy Lines' turn one and my opponent was unable to take me off of his homefield objective for the entire game.
I agree that the loc is a little bad in terms of movement, since he’s not great at killing two things, but what he does touch is just dead with deathshroud, & it forces my opponent to pour into him.
Can you clarify some things about the biologist putrifier? Specifically, how is it able to give its assault keyword to the rhino through the firing port and the rhino can still do actions? Wouldn't firing with the purifiers grenades prevent it from being eligible to shoot and therefore to do actions?
I think (not sure tho) that firing deck means "chose 2 weapons of models embarked: the rhino counts as having those weapons in addition to his" instead of "the rhino can shoot with those weapons". Since the rhino is equipped with an assault weapon, he can advance and do an action instead of shooting with the big grenade.
So looking into this myself its coming down to TO rulings atm as its being played differently in different rulings, Some say as cladio has stated you are equipped with it and therefore can use the assault keyword but also others are ruling you aren't equipped with it until firing therefore now unable to be eligible to shoot etc. As always ask your TO if your unsure :)
@@theberachi on the rhino abilities it has firing deck 2. Firing deck is a core rule that allows you to pick upto X weapons equipped by models inside the transport and the transport can fire them as If it was its own weapon
Loving this series, am a new Dg player, never played Dg before, so am enjoying it so far, quick question on Mortarion, how does his aura work vs things like a Ctaan, with half damage?
@@deathguarddisgustinglyresilien really, I am playing my mate who has Necrons and he has a hard time accepting it, so in plain words how can I mansplain it to him, plz
@@paulbridge6063 both UKTC and WTC which are the largest tournament organisers in Europe and the UK have in their rulings clarified that any modifier to damage, ap etc to weapons equipped by a model cannot be modified. These can be found with a Google search. But the tldr is that the rule halves the damage of the weapon ergo changing its characteristic therefo it cannot be modified whether subtraction or division per mortys aura
Hey Aiden could you change the rating for the lord of contagion now that you’ve tried him and because he’s great for the cost. Also because he’s in my opinion the best model In the range(besides Morty)
I did the same thing even worse I thought he gave it to everything so I was rolling him giving Rhinos and MBH's FnP ... then I learned it was only infantry and he's been missing from my army ever since
Yeah so its even more niche you have to do it on a non stickied objective. I tried to throw the man a bone and still he disappoints us. Damn you plague surgeon!
Aiden, thanks for all the info !! Just wanna know if a PBC moved and i use Boilblight, do they still hit on 2s if they are within 6" of Morty ignore aura ?

Hey, I'm new to 40k 10th ed. If you use the sorcerers once per game strat to increase ap and damage, you said you roll 2d6s. Thats alot of rolls for hazardous? He will die with two rolls of 1 with 3 mortals per roll of 1? Is this correct and if hes in a unit, won't they take the rest of the mortals if you roll more??
Hey, apologies what i was saying is that when you use the once per game you want to use the hazardous profile as this will give you 2d6 shots. It is just 1 dice for hazardous regardless of the shot amount :)
You said that Mortarions ignore modifier aura ignores AP, although the ability states, that it exculdes modifiers to saving throws. Im pretty sure, that AP is a modifier to the throw and not the characteristic. Or am i wrong here?
Hi sorry you may of misunderstood me. Mortarion allows you to ignore abilities that reduce the AP of your attack towards the enemy. Such as Armor of Contempt stratagem for space marines. He doesn't allow you to ignore the AP of incoming enemy attacks. Hope this clarifies what i meant for you :)
@@deathguarddisgustinglyresilien What about the weapon? Should I do the normal combi bolter with the attachments or the new plague combi-bolter? How many Plague Marines should I have it attached to?

That would be an awesome ability
What if the next detachment doesn’t have extra contagions tho
@@william3958 hopefully by then it's our codex and finally a chance to rewrite the LoCs rules to something more impactful

Be careful with those kind of rules he might actually be playable and we cant be having that xD
I have found I really like the Chaos lord in termiantor armor for my 3rd terminator character. With the extra contagion range he feels really useful.
Im testing him alot recently he does surprisingly well

Great job. Any chance you would consider doin a brief vid on lists you're tryin out? Maybe a series of how its changing as you play more games...

Great episode, best DG content this side if Barbarus.
Its helps that barbarous sets the bar so extremely low

I agree that the loc is a little bad in terms of movement, since he’s not great at killing two things, but what he does touch is just dead with deathshroud, & it forces my opponent to pour into him.
He does slap really hard. Thats his redeeming feature unlike a certain surgeon...
ty ur work is amazing
Poor, poor, plague surgeon. The only virion that I have never used in a game!
Dont feel sorry for him. He doesnt deserve youe pity
Is Cass Lord plus icon bearer with a small group of plague marines in a rhino possibly a thing?
Its definitely worth testing extremely large auras of mortals contagions etc on a big unit footprint
Can you clarify some things about the biologist putrifier? Specifically, how is it able to give its assault keyword to the rhino through the firing port and the rhino can still do actions?

@@theberachi on the rhino abilities it has firing deck 2. Firing deck is a core rule that allows you to pick upto X weapons equipped by models inside the transport and the transport can fire them as If it was its own weapon
Can you use two icon Bearers? If one gets himself perished- you could still have a chance to pop the banner elsewhere?
You definitely can! Could even put 3 in a rhino and send one to his "true purpose" every turn (pop banner then die horribly)

Your wall example for the surgeon is even more pointless because of sticky objectives. Don't need to resurrect to hold the objective
