Are Death Guard Really That BAD?!



This week we chat about the incoming drop of 10th edition and some of the rules that are currently out. As a Death Guard player Geoff leads us through some of the “interesting” choices being made for the faction.

  1. I loved when the penny dropped for peachy over the 3 death guard and he tapped Jeff to tell him exactly what Jeff had just finished saying like he just came up with it, hilarious. I love you peachy never change ❤ great show guys and just proving again to everyone that you don't always need a guest to be entertaining. You 3 are Lighting in a bottle. Keep it up lads!

  2. So I am Irish, and a Republican, and as much as I really like Geoff and he seems like a great bloke I've always been a bit iffy when he has talked about his time in NI as there is a lot of bad blood and painful memories of that time in this country.

    But his comments on the Paras have quite turned me around, for context they did some bad shit in their time (and mostly haven't been held accountable) so hearing him say he did not associate with them has put me more at ease with him.

  3. 28:12 a 2000pt army cost 2000pts, obviously! Poor hammer has a great video about this – apparently there are 5 armies that can be fielded for under $500US, the under £500 club is much larger, closer to 10 with UK prices

  4. lol there was a similar thing with Woses in MESBG: the old metal mould makes Ghan Buri Ghan and 12 Woses but if you take the Paths of the Druadan Legion you have to take Ghan and a full warband of Woses with his warband size being 15…

  5. The 7 plague marines pers box to keep myself saine I have to keep thinking I get two extra per box for different weapons. Edit: Yup loved trading stuff for little things like that when I was in the US Army. Was very much a fun hobby to get something neat to show you have been there and help relations between forces.

  6. I fell for DG when 7th was a thing and we had no codex, just an add on to CSM. I fell for the lore, The internal battle between Morty and Typhon (his OG name) and then the blessings of Nurgle and how this changed the army.
    Its crazy how in Horus Heresy, DG have a 5+ FNP (4+ once a game with added bonuses) what's changed in 10k years? more so when so many other models have a FNP.
    the -1 T doesn't mean much in this Ed when a lot of models have additional toughness, mainly vehicles.
    We lost the rules that make DG…DG. A slow moving tide of the inevitable death, unrelenting. moving and shooting with no penalty while the enemy believe their most accurate of fire is simply ignored. As the enemy stand and watch the slow cloud of flies move in….
    What happened?!

  7. As someone who only plays Age of Sigmar, most of this episode sound like "blah blah blah lasguns". BUT, still enjoyed it! You'll need a guest on to nerd out about AoS with to balance it out!

  8. As someone who really liked the Death Guard codex in 9th I am not a happy girl, as someone who likes using the Heresy kits and moved her Blood Angels to be more Horus Heresy themed I am not a happy girl, so might as well just continue with my ultramarine project no way will that be ruined, but all in all this chat show kinda shows the better side of this hobby which is friends having a laugh and that's the important bit

  9. My absolute favorite 40k books (except from Eisenhorn of course) is the Fabius Bile trilogy starting with Primogenitor, they are fantastic, best books about chaos space marines such a shame that Josh Reynolds doesn’t write for Black Library anymore. Also Lords of Silence is great, really shows how vast and ignorant the Imperium is, we as players know about all the factions but for most citizens of the Imperium even chaos space marines are just scary stories and believed not to be real at all.

  10. More and more of Geoffs background coming out, so Im guessing Irish Guards then RIR?

    Faugh A Ballagh!

    The Deathguard 7 man squads are supposed to be a nod to Papa Nurgle, so I dont kniw where they got this multiples of 5 from, hope they sort that out as it breaks the narrative.
