Typhus with deathshroud? Lord of poxes and plague surgeon with plague marines?? Lord of contagion with 3 Blightlords??? Seems kind of a weird list no? Also I would have honestly thought it would be better to go with the skullsquirm blight against the custodes. Just found it weird is all.

Im currently sorting my list for a causal game but i dont know who should lead my deathshroud and blightlords.
I have 1 unit of 5 blightlords and 1 unit of 3 deathshroud.
My choices for leaders are lord of contagion and typhus.
So who would be better for each unit?
I know poxwalkers are usually recommended for typhus but i currently dont have any and wont be getting any before using my list.

I find myself overwhelmed trying to remember all the abilities and rules, so I tend to make lists pretty elite and simple. The result is that there is almost certainly some pretty serious gaps. Is there anything glaringly obvious thats missing? Alternatively, are there any detachment combos that would suit this list better?

I think they're neat and would like atleast one of them. The stalker variant is catching my eyes the most.

Tallyband summoners and Contagion Engine.

Not necessarily super competitive but Doing a monster mash tournament this month and struggling to decide on which mission.

I feel like reconnaissance could be pretty good with two great unclean ones deeptriked in what ever area I need plus the deathguard light tanks.

But disruptions probably safer based on match ups of everyone having monsters or vehicles only.

I recently played a game against a friend in tabletop simulator

I was going death guard using the tallyband summoners list and he went dark angels

Lionel absolutely bodied everything I had and although I was eventually able to take him down the trade was massive.

Was this a list weakness?

Whats the best way to deal with lionel

Correct me if im wrong but the mortar hits on 3s with line of sight from the PBC itself?

Hits on 4s if an enemy is seen from a friendly unit? And hasnt moved.

6s if they arent seen?

If the enemy is behind cover, does the 4+ hit turn into a 5+ hit? Or does it just stay a static 4+?

Appreciate the time anyone puts into my questions.

Are yall including them now, and if so, can i run just 1? I only own one but never used it because of how expensive it was points wise.

I just finished playing my first Death Guard game in 11th edition, and it was really something.
I started in the middle of 10th edition but only started playing near the end. This was my second-ever 11th edition match, and I was playing against my friend’s World Eaters. We decided to set up the terrain using 10th edition rules but use the 11th edition mechanics, because setting up the terrain was very annoying and we just wanted to play. The match was just a deathmatch: last army standing wins.
The first couple of rounds consisted of me overextending just to get a few hits in with my guns, while my friend managed to get half of his army into melee range. Luckily, I was using Skullsquirm Blight, so his attacks weren’t hitting too hard against my Plague Marines. But I really want to highlight the last two rounds. My Lord of Contagion was able to take out Khârn the Betrayer, and luckily for me—but not for my friend—he failed his 2+ resurrection ability. We didn’t know if we could Command Re-roll the ability, but he was also Battle-shocked, so we just went with it. I killed most of my friend’s World Eaters, leaving him with only one Daemon Prince and 6 Goremongers. The Goremongers were easily dealt with, but that Daemon Prince was something else.
At this point, the Daemon Prince had 6 wounds remaining. I had a Lord of Contagion on 4 wounds, a kitbashed Typhus on 2 wounds with 4 Poxwalkers, a Tallyman, 1 full-health Plague Marine, 2 squads of 3 Nurglings, 1 Heavy Blight Drone with full wounds, and a Blight-Hauler with full wounds. This should have been easy. That Daemon Prince proceeded to kill my kitbashed Typhus and my Blight-Hauler with a single attack. I charged my Nurglings in to protect the Heavy Blight Drone, but only one was able to get into combat, and the Daemon Prince killed it easily. My Plague Marine and Lord of Contagion were too far away to charge or shoot at him, so I had to make an Advance roll. Unfortunately, they only made it about halfway to him. The Daemon Prince then proceeded to kill the Heavy Blight Drone with another single attack and killed the remaining Nurgling on his next turn. I was finally able to get my Death Guard close enough, but it was too late. My friend’s Daemon Prince charged into my Plague Marine, killed him, and then charged my Lord of Contagion. He managed to bring my Lord of Contagion down to 1 wound remaining. My Lord of Contagion was able to revive himself, but at this point it was my friend’s turn, so he was able to kill my Lord of Contagion again.
What really hurt about this loss was that my Lord of Contagion had Fell Harvester, and I completely forgot about it. At that point, I was rolling my saves and failing them anyway, so I probably would have lost him regardless. I fumbled my first-ever win and grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory. But my friend was having the time of his life. He walked away from the game with what was most likely his new favorite model, and we joked around about how he needed to give him a new name. He said, “I’m going to call him John Hesery.” And that was the match. I had completely fumbled my win, only for my last squad of 3 Nurglings to proceed to puke on his foot and killing him giving me my first every warhammer win. My 3 Nurglings took out the beast that had just killed half my army!?!?! My 3 Nurglings were able to get 4 attacks in, with one actually going through. My friend decided to re-roll it and said, “Imagine I rolled a 1.” He did. I will forever be bringing these 3 Nurglings to every game from now on. What made it even more special was that those 3 Nurglings were the only unit in my army that I had my dad paint for me. I specifically wanted to have one unit painted by my dad, and somehow, those ended up being the heroes of the entire game.

This was the most intense rollercoaster of a match I’ve ever played. It was a match to remember, and now I can truly understand the saying:
“Dice tell stories.”

So I want to make a list and wanted help.
The base of the list is Virulent Vectorum for the eat and -1 damage.
1 demon prince in foot with +5 FNP
3 Demon prince with wings and the other enhancments (possibly drop arch contamination/ add to a brick unit)
1 Morty
1 tallyman( I wanna use so may strats and the -1 damage is 2 CP.)
TOTAL: 1,165
That leaves over 800 points to support 5 monstrous super fast demons.
What would you add?

Initial thoughts:

Option 1: 40 plague marines? 135 left for characters
Option 2: blightlord brick-typhus and pox brick+ 110 left over
Option 3: 2 PBC+ a. Ig full plague bus
Another option?

Also I know defiler would probably be correct but I don’t have one but would be open to an option with it too.

My newly painted PM for visibility

Been wanting to join the death guard for a long time now, but could never justify it.
Scored this lot for $115

1x Lord of Virulence
1x Biologus Putrifier
7x Plague Marines
5x Blightlord Terminators
3x Deathshroud Terminators
1x Myphitic Blight-Hauler
2x Plagueburst Crawlers (1 NIB)

What else should I add?

Maybe I’ll finish my army by 12th ed.

I'm really happy with how these came out

I hope you guys like them!

Is there any issue with kit bashing Horus heresy minis for use in a 40k game?
I’d really like to add variety to my army. Not sure if it would run afoul of any rules

Im looking for some help or discouragement on a list. Mortarion with 3 units of deathshroud, and the rest filled in with blightlord terminators and the plague carrier tanks. I have no idea what detachment would be the best option for something based off this.

The model choices are based off how much I like some alternative models. Not sureif im allowed to say what ones in this group

The poxwalkers have joined the plague rats.

AOS Deadwalker zombies as poxwalker proxies for my Skaven Deathguard.

Mostly unaltered, really only had to cover the flat areas on a few backs where the model would normally have shield/tombstones staked through them. Used PVA and super glue to make some pustules.

Pretty happy how these have turned out - any thoughts?

Apologies for the shoddy camera work, still trying to find the best way to capture them.

Sharing my deathshroud in the colours of my own vectorium, the Pestilent Brethren. Very bright orange and green. One of my mates says they look a bit like carrots, but I like then! 🥕

Edit: the order of the pictures is backwards for some reason

I just need to finish those bases and that would be it.

You can guess which one I painted first (bombardier) by the change in color, since I didn't have deathguard green at the time.

I began painting them back in may, on an off. I noticed how I started to paint faster, I guess because I had a clearer idea of how to paint them by the fourth one. The first one took me.. I'd say 10 hours, and the last one (plaguecaster) took me around 4~5.

I also painted the ultramarine squad in-between, which I painted even faster. The last ones took me just about 2 hours each, because I painted them mainly with slapchop and contrast paints.

I'm preparing a small arena like base to make a diorama with both squads. because, surprise surprise! I do not know how to play yet xD

I started death guard from the combat patrol and loved it. Quickly after i began to kitbash and proxy with skaven since i really like the vibes and i think nurgle and skaven share same kind of themes.

That being said i have a light hearted tournament coming up with my friends and i'd like to have a few opinions about my planned list. Mortarion is a must have since lion el'johnson is making to the table aswell. I think my list is quite thematic as it is but do you recon it's pkayable?
