My mate’s DG list uses both Rot and Morty, and it’s utter chaos to deal with from start to finish 😂 I’ve yet to manage to kill both of them in the same game, those boys are DAMN tanky!
I personally think both have great value but Morty at 300 points is exceptional support platform. Since index, he's dropped in points. Movement between terrain and the wings being an issue is now gone. I think the biggest reason to take Mortarion these days is the meta. I'm running into a lot of armies with 1/2 damage reduction, -1 damage, -1 to hit on a lot of units, no bracket when damaged, and so on. Don't care with Morty around. 😅 Anyways, can't wait to see your next battle report.
Your right, there seem to be so many things in the meta that can handicap us. Mortarion's aura does wonders in those match ups! Should find out in the next couple of days who I am going up against in the league :)
Hey Rokki, your math is wrong on the effective wounds for Morty. 21.3 is the effective wounds if you just compare FNP for 16 wounds. But you need to consider that every passed FNP mean you get to make ANOTHER FNP against that wound. So Mortys effective wounds is actually 24 wounds. There was an old 9th ed goonhammer article about it, but youtube won't let me link it 🙂
I've run both, for their points they're pretty much a steal. Only issue is you need to DS or RI Rotigus so just be aware of getting screened out etc. Personally I'd prefer a rules tweek for Mortarion instead of points drop (same for BLTs). A fix for Mortarion is to let him get a second spread the sickness buff, so if you pick say -1WS/BS he also lets you give a unit within 6" one of -1OC or -1sv too. I'm fine with him not being crazy offensively but he should be a huge bebuff piece.
I think the key differences with the GUO is that most of its abilities (outside of -1 toughness) only affect daemons units. He's still a tanky unit but doesn't bring as much to the table as Rotigus for Death Guard.

Morty got REAL spicy again after this points drop. I am glad to see it too
I will try both this weekend

Ran a list last week using Rotty and Morty. My cousin and his ork army quit turn 4
Damn that morty is clean!!!!
Thank you 🙏
I've been running both in my current list and it's disgusting for my opponent to finally drop one for the other to just come in like
What's up doc
I would like to play mortarion and Great unclean one. Only other must in my list are the bload drones.
Bloat drones are really good atm!

That makes sense :) I hadn't thought about that!
Can we get a vid on GUO in DG? Seems like he can be a tank and making enemy infantry -1 T stacking on top of the DG buffs
I'll have to play around with him a bit and test it out :)
You know whats also really saucy that I've tried out?
Morty, rotigus, soul grinder
SG really likes +1dmg :]
I have to admit, I've never really looked into Soul Grinder before. I'll check it out :)

General consensus seems to be that everyone wants him buffed. Will be interesting to see what they do with Mortarion in the future!
how do you feel the Great unclean one stacks

Whelp, looks like im painting up the primarch
Haha, have fun! He's such a cool model!
👌🔥🤘❤️👍
ok cutie, so I'm a noob
If I want to take Rotigus. I need to take 1 unit of Nurglings OR Plague Bearers as a MINIMUM right? Thank you!
Yes! That's correct! For daemon allies, you must bring one daemon batteline unit for one other unit
Download link to the spreadsheets for the freaks out here? lol
Just added it to the video description :)
@Rokkis_Gaming_Lounge youre the man, rok!
