Plague Marine w/ boltgun [84pts]: 4x Blight grenades, 4x Boltgun, 4x Krak grenades, 4x Plague knife Games Workshop dropped its Q2 Balance Dataslate for 40k in mid-April, dramatically changing a number of key factions. Astra Miliatrum, Marines and Sisters were buffed, Harlequins, T’au, and Custodes were nerfed, and some key game rules were changed. Now with Tyranids looming on the horizon, we’re looking at several key factions and examining their place in this new emerging meta. Tri-lobe: +1 to hit if this unit contains three models, this is both for ranged and melee. It is expensive but taking a unit of three would up your damage output quite a bit and help out in the killpoint department as well. Suddenly these guys moving up with a lord of a prince are hitting on 3+ with reroll 1’s. Solid.

Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. Deathshroud Champion [1 PL, -1CP, 65pts]: Acidic Malady [1 PL, 15pts], Chimes of contagion, Plague Skull of Glothila, 2x Plaguespurt gauntlet, Stratagem: Champion of Disease [-1CP]

Other Updates

The ability to double up on units that were previously one per detachment means that Death Guard players can now take two Daemon Princes or two Chaos Lords in a Detachment. Again, not necessarily great as an option but interesting to note. At the front of the Daemon Engine's hull, a single eye lens stares at the enemy with feral hunger, while below it a fang-filled maw gnashes and drools. Should the enemy get too close, the Myphitic Blight-hauler falls upon them like a ravenous wolf, biting and devouring, or sprays diseased bile over them from the rotted nozzle that juts between its fangs. EL: 10x Blightlord Terminators, 6x Combi-Bolter, 2x Blight Launcher, 8x Bubotic Axe, 2x Flail of Corruption

Plague Marine w/ cleaver [38pts]: 2x Blight grenades, 2x Great plague cleaver, 2x Krak grenades, 2x Plague knife This is amazing when used on your Foul Blightspawns to make their plague sprayer deadly from even further away. Plague Companies The Astra Militarum are going to be likewise tough, with lots of ability to screen out your untis and prevent you from smashing through to their tanks as they hit you from a distance. PBCs can help take out mortars and protect your Poxwalkers, but nothing can stop you from getting shredded by Mortal Wounds from Kasrkin.Malignant Plaguecaster [5 PL, -1CP, 90pts]: 5. Curse of the Leper, 6. Gift of Plagues, Plague Skull of Glothila, Stratagem: Relic [-1CP] Alternatively, follow the 5th Plague Company, the Poxmongers, and join their mass Daemon Engine assaults. Strategic reserves do not cost CP, making Mortarion a slightly more attractive option since he no longer costs you a ton of CP to drop into reserves against armies which can shoot him off the table. Though again, you probably weren’t taking him before. During the first battle round, your army (and every unit from it) is engaged in Wanton Destruction.
