Goatboy right here with a rundown of GW’s three greatest misses from the brand new 40K tenth Version Loss of life Guard Codex.
Total the codex is fairly sturdy and has a ton of choices nevertheless it nonetheless is lacking a couple of issues I might like to have. The military had numerous choices now misplaced to the mists of time, together with a few of that old-school “chaos” goodness.
There are three separate items I want the Loss of life Guard saved. They’re a number of the primary Chaos Area Marine choices which I really feel the Loss of life Guard are lacking. I don’t assume they’re tremendous good items, however did provide some choices that a number of the detachments are lacking. The XIVth may additionally use some extra enjoyable little “low-cost” choices to fill out the military as I count on the faction to get ever dearer as tenth Version retains transferring ahead.
Carry Again Nurgle Cultists
The primary simple factor lacking is the great ole cultist. It is a unit that I really feel virtually all of the Chaos Marine primarily based armies ought to have in the event that they don’t have one thing equal. They’re a easy low-cost little troop unit that may fulfill some Battleline choices, offers detachments sticky, and allows you to have a unit that will be fairly cool to construct and convert. It’s also extraordinarily low-cost and covers a must fill these final 50 or so factors a military may need once you end constructing it. I do know the Loss of life Guard have Poxwalkers however they actually aren’t a Cultist unit.
Loss of life Guard Terminator Sorcerer Please
The following factor I really feel lacking is a default sort of Terminator Sorcerer or Plaguecaster possibility. There shouldn’t simply be Typhus as your psychic Terminator as the military is understood to have extra. It additionally permits you to create some distinctive issues to your Blightlords to distinguish from the Loss of life Shroud that will probably be filling the desk tops quickly. Let this man simply be part of the Blightlords as it will pressure gamers to consider one thing completely different for the terminator desires groups for the desk high.
Loss of life Guard Chaos Lord, Come Again!
The very last thing is only a Fundamental Chaos lord like possibility. Heck I don’t know why this isn’t within the World Eaters codex both, however Loss of life Guard used to have one. The brand new Lord of Poxes is cool however having a unit that might do some enjoyable CP choices or at the very least some cool shut fight nonsense could be cool. What if he simply carried this loopy corrupted Chainsword and will do some enjoyable CP low cost and explosive fight choices. I believe the essential Chaos Lord is a good low-cost character unit to assist diversify your Plague Marine choices and simply offer you one thing enjoyable to transform up with all of your left over Plague Marine bits and items of nonsense.
All of those wouldn’t break the military any greater than what they have already got and allow you to create some “area” to assist fill out these left over factors. I additionally like the concept of giving some extra “conversion” choices for a military that’s fairly effectively stuffed with distinctive trying fashions and items that don’t actually scream so that you can hack aside to create one thing new. I do know the military doesn’t want any extra Daemon Engine or closely “Nurgled” items so only a few easy choices could be nice to have.
