I just started collecting deathguard, I already know all of the information in the above video but I'm here to support as well.
I already play Tau, but I personally collect Deathguard because models are cool so its nice to know what i need to spread the plague.
I took it as a sign from Nurgle I was meant for Death Guard. Just days after subscribing to both the channel and patreon I was fortunate to have my name pulled to recieve a combat patrol of my choice, and while there may have been objectively better options I chose the death guard one. After that a game shop I don't visit all too often just happened to have a council of the death lord battle force, so I picked that up as well. Since then I've added a PBC, 2 MBH, an extra box of marines and some deathshrouds, and I just had so much fun putting them together. The lads are all primed and admittedly I haven't touched them in about a month as I'm still learning to love painting, but overall I've got about 1750 worth of death guard already and I can't wait to expand it further. There's just something about DG that I can't help but love
Death Guard have had amazing Battle Force boxes the past couple years.
Thanks for the shoutout Auspex! Recruiting more Plague marines to the cause is always a worthwhile effort! Anyone who wants some more Nurgley content feel free to check us out! But only if you leave Auspex a like and a subscribe! - Disgustingly Resilient Aiden
Just joined you guys reasontly. Love your content aiden ur the reason infinaly dived into the hobby
@@chaserill902 Thats awesome to hear im really glad and welcome to the hobby mate :D
Having busy models is an understatement.
Currently batch painting 27 of the buggers and it really is slow progress
The detail creep has been insane in the last few years! GW minis are becoming very overdesigned and I for one hope they tone it down a bit.
Still easier than painting tsons.
@@Chris-jl6vp no way, done both and I don't have to pickout spots on t sons never mind all the tentacles and growths
@@thedave3880fair but T sons are peak chaos trim hell. Death guard are more just detail overload
I still stand by my opinion that the Deathshroud Terminator is the best termi in 40k, personally. Full of flavor, violently effective, and they look great dropping onto the table.
I sure could've used this video two months ago when my friends and I all pooled our money together to get one of our buddies and his gf nearly 1700 points' worth of DG kits. Shoulda seen the meltdown he had as they opened that box and got to Mortarion at the bottom.
That's lovely! What did you get?
@@khalebrobertson9907 More like what DIDN'T we get 😅 We were supposed to gift him a Lord of Virulence and some Blightlord Terminators, but we got enthusiastic while shopping at local hobby stores and ended up with:
-Mortarion
-A Lord of Virulence
-One DG Combat Patrol box
-One box each of Deathshroud and Blightlord Terminators
-A squad of Plague Marines
-A Plague Marine Champion (with the meme Nurgling)
-A Plague Marine Icon Bearer
-A mob of Poxwalkers
-A Myphitic Blighthauler
-A Plagueburst Crawler
-A box of Nurglings
I think off the top of my head the only kit we didn't get him was the Foetid Bloat Drone and most of the single HQ units lmfao
1 minute ago this video posted. There are already views, comments. Who is more on task: Auspex tactics with abhuman speed of videos, or Auspex tactics eager fans 😅
My goal is to comment before he posts the video.
What abhuman most matches @AuspexTactics most closely?
@@JoshBorlase techpriest
Definitely Auspex Tactics
Don’t his Patrons get to watch the videos in advance…
Get a box of Nurglings! They come with many extra that you can put on your other unit's bases.
For new players, you may not want to start a new army until the codex drops. Getting a few sets and painting them up is one thing, but changing from index rules to a codex can set back your spirit in playing that army
That's going to be a pretty long wait still...
Earliest chance for a DG codex will be likely in Orktober, as Blood Angels are rumored for Sept. Still, it feels like there's more of a chance that GW will do something simpler like say, Chaos + Imperial Knights.
Odds are pretty much a guarantee though that DG is a throw away release this edition, despite how we really could use 2-3 new units/vehicles to pad out our roster.
We still have Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Eldar, Votann, Guard & Emp's Children as 99% "known" big releases this edition. Plus Grey Knights, WE's, 1kSons & Dark Eldar are absolutely crying for attention. Here's hoping my gut feeling is wrong and we don't have to wait until at least 12th edition for a proper release!
My 2,000 pt list has 37 models haha! Want my Festering Emissaries to feel elite so full sized doomstack of Deathshroud and Blightlords. 2 squads of 7 plague marines, one plagueburst and bloat drone, lord of Contagion and Virulence, Mortarion himself and a Winged Daemon Prince… and a Helbrute named Festrius the Once Enduring
Not meta by any means but I enjoy them a lot haha
Deathguard was my first army
Just Got the Gallerpox box for this reason, spawn and stuff to make the future rhino to look like a actual death guard Unit.
Also plan to make some war dogs
Death Guard players may not particularly want more than a single minimum size Nurgling squad. But it IS possible to split the pieces up over more bases than is depicted or shown in the directions. You could have Nurglings crawling over terrain, barrels, screaming victims, etc. Getting you more model, and thus more squads, from each kit.
LETS GOOOOOOO
JUST BOUGHT SOME DEATHGUARD
The Death Guard have some reallly cool models
An issue with Death Guard is some amount of conversion/kit bashing is required if you want cohesive looking army to match the core range. Chaos Rhino's and Terminator characters, in multiples, Cultists, Hellbrute, Daemon Princes etc. Maybe thats why they put so many Poxwalkers in the Combat Patrols, kit bash fodder.
I got into the game back in August with Leviathan and collecting Tyranids. Last few months DG has been on my radar. Literally spent a week building the boxes I had gotten. A few days ago I got Mortarion and today I ordered my last 2 Crawlers I needed. Feels like someone is spying on me and making videos about the armies I'm putting together 😆
i'll add a few suggestions, I use both Predator tank variants in my DG list. They both gain a massive benefit from the -1 toughness that can be applied from a Helbrute, in adition to the -1save contagion. The Predator Destructor can potentially hit -3 AP against infantry with the Autocannon and Heavy Bolters. and -2AP with the Havoc Launcher and Combi-Bolter. The Predator Annihilator with Lascannons Loves the -1 toughness because it can mean the difference of wounding on a 3 instead of 4 when rolling against something with T12. They also move 10" and can be quick enough to snag an objective in the mid field if they have to.
Really fun army to use. Great models. Fully recommended starting the Death Guard. The current way daemon allies work aswell is great and easy to use.
I wanted to start my 40k journey with Death Guard, but 10th edition had the shiny Leviathan Box... Will watch this video as I contemplate my decisions in army choice :)
leviathan box is fire
Why not both? :D
Combat patrol+deathshroud+plague marines+rhino+pbc should get you near 1000 points so you could have 3 1k armies to play with and 3 different combat patrols as well.
You made the better choice, you needed to start in 8th ed to make DG worth collecting
Theres enough extra parts to build 3 more plague marines with the combat patrol, which in my mind makes it pretty nice being its basically the only way to get 10x plague marines in one box.
The boarding box has 3 extras, that's what I started with
I have Felthius and 3 terminators, I got 2 free Dark Angels terminators from GW that I plan on converting to get to 5. Then I have 3 plague marines from the heroes lootboxes that I will combine with 7 marine box to get 10. But honestly I am just waiting on a better combat patrol box to get started, I have AoS 4 to keep me busy until then.
brother how is it that when i start a new army you come out with a new guide for it, its happened for 3 armies, great timing keep it up! 😂🤙
I know the Alpha Legion might not be the most meta CSM faction (Deception detachment) but I was wondering if you could make such a guide for them as well? I believe it might be really fun to play
How to start a Death Guard? Wait for new Combat Patrol box lol
The problem is the 10th edition codex is at least 8 months away and that's only if they're the first one for 2025 which isn't likely.
I mean you this combat patrol isnt that bad, plague marines + typhos + biologus, is almost price of combat patrol + 30 poxwalkers is great if you have none of them, it just matter if next combat patrol will have 1 character and like 40 poxwalkers or not 😂
@@JimH. They *might* still sneak into the Fall release slot alongside BA's, but I do feel like that's probably wishful thinking... I'd put more money on something like Chaos + Imperial Knights or maybe, depending on how the forthcoming Agents codex plays out, we get Deathwatch + Grey Knights to round out the Inquisition forces?
Regardless of when the DG codex drops, it's 99% guaranteed to be at most just a throw away 1 model release, despite DG kind of needing a proper model wave release at this point.
Thanks you for straight forward videos much appreciated and always good to keep up to date
Picked up the Combat patrol for 105$ from local store kinda wished for less pox walkers and maybe a vehicle or terminators, but instead I bought terminators also on the side.
auspex, you should check your comment sections for spambots with NSFW avatars and channels that link to keylogging sites, and make sure to report them to youtube before deleting their spam comments
i’ve seen two on this video’s comment section alone
Felthius is a very strange model. The Lord of Contagion base is normally 50mm, however if a model is equipped with an orb of dessication, then the base size is reduced to 40mm. But there aren't any rules for that loadout with the LoC. He's the only option unless you somehow find the 8th edition sculpt, which is currently out of print.
I just run him as a DG themed Chaos Lord instead.
Just now starting Death Guard, started putting the combat patrol together earlier today actually, amazingly timed
You and Poorhammer are so in sync lately! 🤣
Nurgle Bless Our Constitution In The Kindest Of Ways, Chat
usually a blood angels player, but i started a DG army through 3d printing. I look forward to having a full army.
My local store had court of the deathlord i think it was a pretty good start for me 🥰
Me with 6000p of DG: 'Yes, lets see what i can do to collect DG better'
Me with 3500 points with 1 plauge marine and 10 poxwalkers painted that look like crap... Even people on discord agree.
Farts in approval
I'd recommend the Poorhammer episode on this topic, they have some good advice as well.
Can we get a how to start an admech army in 10th? Besides the obvious winning the lottery.
3D printing. Not just for the dramatically lower cost, but because the Machine God demands taking technology into your own hands.
You watch- the Death Guard Codex rolls along, and GW decides to switch up the combat patrol: taking out the Plague Marines and adding more Poxwalkers 😂
Dont even joke like this!
Nah, they'll remove the Plague Marines & replace them with Lord Felthius' Cohort, remove Typhus & replace with 2 Spawn, keep the Biologis.
Price will be $210(CAN)
1kSons players will count themselves lucky as no longer having the worst CP in 40k ;-)
@@drunkenastarte5243 you are a monster, we cant let GW see thid
Between the old combat patrol and the battlefront box, I actually got a decent portion of the line
The best ways to start a Death Guard army are unfortunately YEARS AGO. I wouldn’t start a Death Guard army today with the CP box - if it wasn’t for auto-include Typhus, it might be the worst CP box in WH40K.
I started my DG army by buying my friend’s half of the Dark Imperium box and expanded it with the DG Boarding Patrol, which was a great deal. I unfortunately missed out on the two DG battleforce boxes in recent years, but I did well by acquiring ~800-points used army from a friend-of-a-friend who cashed out shortly before 10e. I don’t know if he had insider info but DG wasn’t very competitive in early 10e, but I didn’t mind because I just wanted to get a DG army on the table, to add more variety to the casual games with my friends. TBH I’ve played against my DG army more than I’ve played it myself, but the matches are always interesting.
DG are really tough and stubborn to shift, but their poor mobility and meh shooting tend to put them behind on points and unable to catch up… unless they draw favourable secondaries. I tried boosting my DG army’s firepower with a couple of Wardog Brigands and Chaos Predators, which made them competitive. I also recently bought a 3rd squad of Deathshroud Terminators to use with Typhys instead of the traditional Poxwalkers mob.
My favourite thing about Death Guard are their awesome character models. The Noxious Blightbringer and Lord of Contagion are my faves - despite that they’re not that great. I often proxy my Contagion Lord as a DG Terminator Lord equipped with the Living Plague enhancement, because the latter’s ability is better. The Contagion Lord’s Abundance of Sickness ability would be better suited to a Lone Operative.
Death guard content, I am pleased, so is the father
If you're looking for a less busy but cool color scheme for your death guard, look up frozen plague color scheme
Would you be able to do a start a daemons of chaos one, where we don’t use the khorne only box?
As someone who has spent a few years collecting Death Guard i would like to say, f**k blight haulers, worst point sink i ever invested in 😅 (also, im totally not bitter over the fact that i have never even rolled a hit roll with the melta or missile launcher).
Do world eaters next please :) or an emperors children speculation video
I think in 10th that the designers have started to delineate the difference between Death Guard and the Iron Warriors, making the latter the tougher of the two in the rules. DG is now more about the debuff mechanic. There are now an absolute horde of DG on the table now these days.
Not really a good thing. Death Guard in lore have been the toughest Marines even pre heresy. I like being big on debuffing but I want a little more durability.
As a DG owner, I feel like this video could be surmised with "You could play Death Guard, but there's really no reason to... unless you just like the way they look."
If Felthius is the only Lord of Contagion being sold, doesn't it mean that the offical base size for LoC is 40mm and anything other than that is outdated, old models that need to be rebased?
I literally just bought my first Chaos Marine Chosen. Never played 40k before so would like to know how to build around them. Been researching all the basics and what not. Thinking of doing a Chaos Undivided army eventually. Would be interested in tips and tricks in starting out as a complete newbie.
Start with watching more Auspex videos! He just recently covered the new CSM codex that dropped. He also has a video just like this one for chaos space marines faction.
welcome to the dark side😈! I’d start with the new chaos SM codex and maybe an army deal.If you’re considering playing kill team as well, you might want to buy the csm kill team. those models are wicked and you can mix them with your regular csm. that’s how I am expanding from Death guard into regular chaos space marines
a friend of mine is starting a deathgaurd army but for 7th edition , does anyone have a guild on how to do that, with finding datasheets and codexs and the like.
Gw gets alot of hate, but you have to give them (the balance team) credit for fixing Death Guard considering the state they were in at the start of 10th.
Hope admech get a similar glow up in a few months
Sure but if they playtested (Rather than claiming EVERY new edition is "the most playtested thus far!" on the WHC site like always) they could've got this and the 7man plague marine wrscroll right the FIRST time, rather than mess it up, shake our confidence in their ability to write and then expect pats on the back when they fix their own issues
@krilc completely agree, I'm saying the people who fixed it did a good job
Some of the people/teams who wrote indexes did good, others not so much. However the people who signed off on 10th are the real ones to blame. They must have known the state of the game, but chose to not push back the release date. Its a publicly listed company in the end
Ebay may have some gd boxsets
Is someone able to please explain the Champion’s role/significance? I’m assembling my first Combat Patrol and the instructions give me the option to make either a Plague Champion or a regular Plague Marine with one of the models. Is a Champion required in each unit to play? Does the Champion have to have the power fist or equivalent or could any Plague Marine be selected as a Plague Champion?
They do it, because people either play 10 or 5 of them and not 7. So the idea is you could assemble them to have models for your other of PM if you would like to, but to have a functioning unit, you got to have a Champion and he’s got his own loadout that you got to check out before assembling, but if you didn’t, from my experience people are nice enough for you to tell them which model is a champion and play with it, proxy is always a thing. ;)
The big question is: How do you stop, AM I RIGHT? WOOOOOOOOOO!
Poorhammer makes a death guard start collecting than auspex! Must be my lucky day!
Well i think i just got "infected" when will the 10th edition rulbook release?😅
Nurgle Matthew Automatically Approved of this message
Im new to 40k. Can i have morti and typhus in an army ar the same time? I know lore wise they dislike each other but i dont know if that matters game wise
Also, how does this "allied" thing work?
They absolutely can! You gotta pick Morti as a warlord, though, and you cannot use enchantments on the epic heroes such as them.
@@thepostaldude2217you can pick and allegeable allied units to your list if you feel like it. I personally enjoy Nurgle demons a lot, so I would include the Great Unclean One just for fun. :)
The catch is that your army rule and your army buffs don’t work on your allied units as they have different keywords, so you don’t have a great synergy on them, but people always tend to include some Nurglings or if you want some heavy hitters - then your best bet is the Chaos Knights, but again, no army buffs for them and they are there for purposes of the missions or game.
Makes sense. I appreciate the information
Which one one of the discount links works in EU ?
Never have more than 2 full size units of anything that isn’t battleline. Unfortunately, this includes poxwalkers.
How to start a death guard army: Have enough money.
Dude where was this a few months ago i already 2ks worth!!
Honestly I feel like you underplay the importance of waiting for the codex to drop given it will likely come with a nice new combat patrol to choose from if the current one isn't to your liking or even a battleforce. I doubt they'll get new models, though, considering how great their current range is.
How long till that though...
@@joti160 I mean I'd guess less than a year.
Personally, I don't find that to be that long of a wait for such a massive investment as a new army.
Of course, getting a single kit just to see how you like the models is a good first step. I did the same with my tyranids. Got a box of zoanthropes middle of ninth before fullying buying my first army of tyranids at the start of tenth. Glad I waited for the leviathan goodness.
@@paranelmanterlyzastratatum885 At bare minimum it will be 8 months and could be as long as 2 years.
@@JimH. so about a year and a half on average, not bad.
@@paranelmanterlyzastratatum885i mean yes and no, if you want this to be your fist army 1,5y is quite a long time and current combat patrol is still good pickup, but if you want this as your next army 1,5y is reasonable time to wait
I bought Boarding Patrol and Mortarion. Not so much to build an army. More so as a display piece.
Me: “I have this death guard army from start of 8th but I don’t like how it’s painted”
Streaming grime: *exists*
Me: “oh my god I have a death guard army again!”
I'm a simple man. I see Death Guard, I like and comment.
Max poxwalkers, bring some plague bearers, enjoy zombie simulator
i have 12k pts of deathguard and still watch this video in fear i have missed something
felthius box is oop i think now
It also sucks because of the idiots writing 10th not letting you run less than 5 Terminators
Can we please just have our codex please GW...
Oh I’m a bit early! Hello!
me who is already 3k points into my stinky bois
"hmm yes interesting, tell me more"
I'm against the majority here. I love the combat patrol. Space marine (specially chaos ones) feel weird and boring by just spamming only marines. The poxwalker horde is great addition to the combat patrol. I'd complement this with lots of cultists (mixed with the traitor guard killteams/blackstone fortress), the 2 different terminator variants and another plague marine units (preferably the Japanese ones, to avoid same bodies repeated). Now you have yourself one of the coolest armies, based on Darktide+fancy marines.
From there, you just take whichever fancy vehicle (with only a plague a plagueburst crawler giving mandatory feels. The defiler looks cool for DG) or daemon (nurglings, plaguebearers, beasts of Nurgle...) you like. And characters. They have so many cool characters, and you can still get most of them for cheap thanks to the old Imperium issues even now.
Not the cheapest army, but far from the most expensive. My brother got it recently and did just like I said above. Looks stunning. I hope they give them a big new transport to use instead of the Rhino, where you can sit cultists as well, similar to the ones from HH.
They also must give them access to additional Chaos units, like Traitor Guardsmen+Traitor Enforcer, and perhaps Possessed and Fellgor Beastmen.
Bro, i worry about you. How do you churn out so much quality content? Do you have a team, editors, writers? If not you are crazy.
Start DG? honestly the answer is: Don't bother - I started them in 8th + being a veteran hobbiest and made good use of not just the fact they were floating around Ebay and converting, cheap marines, drones, etc but more importantly stuff like the easy to build 3-man plague marines existing, Felthuis Cohort, (and him and his 3 man termi squad being actually playable helped) the fact the starter box gave me access to the Lord of contagion with pox-axe. lots of heroes etc - Death guard were once collectable but GW totally left them to wither and rot (fitting given their lore) and the Plague marines kit being 7man is a spit in the face too. the ONLY good thing that remains is the Blighthauler just happening to be an easy build and so cheaper in price than other stuff - Dg in 9th and 10th are a hassle that isn't worth it until maybe we get a Codex to fix some issues
I just want to run my defilers again, thanks for mentioning them again. I don't like the plagueburst crawlers models, I think they look stupid. I'm a defiler guy. 🤷♂️
I joined the hobby due to Death Guard. It is such a let down that they appear to be one of the most unsupported races in the game.
Dont. Come play them in 30k where they actually have thier entire roster... unlike 40k where gw forgot CSMs actually have access to volkite and other dark age tech.

Start with 3d printing. Don't give GW a fucking dime
In my own personal opinion Death Guard are genuinely disgusting and I’ve no idea why anybody would collect them despite their good rules
Step 1 buy a 3d printer.
Can you mix chaos space Marines and horus stuff with your army of death guard?
Hold on, I thought you cannot field Lord Felthius in 10th edition. There's no datasheet or points. The Lord of Contagion datasheet doesn't have his weapon loadout, and his base size is 40mm instead of 50mm anyway. His loadout doesn't even make him a viable proxy for the Chaos Lord or Sorcerer in Terminator Armor...
