I think it's handy not to think of the two warriors as bog standard guys, but specialists, one with the plague bell and the other with grenades as equipment. I exist in a state of wanting a new Death Guard team, whilst also dreading a new, broken and less fun Death Guard team... Great video, by the way. Very much enjoyed it.
@@an710n I think just removing the restrictions on squad selection goes a long way - a Champion, Heavy Gunner, Gunner, Fighter and Icon Bearer is decent. Add a specialist marine with a plague bell, or blight grenades (baked into their profile for 0 EP), perhaps improve how the plague bell works and that's a strong team. It would have ripped the compendium apart, but it would be fine, now. If they wanted to go crazy, they could throw a malignant plague caster in there...
This has been my first Killteam, three Plague Marines with the Pox Walkers. I have never won, but each time it has been fun, with the Pox Walkers always doing something ridiculous. I’m building a few more Kill Teams but I feel like I’ll still play Death Guard when I want to have fun. It’s fun not to care if I win or not. Maybe I just need to learn how to win with them, but even if they never win I will love them. I have my Plague Marine Champion with his Plasma Pistol, he typically dies at the start of Turning Point 2- today he traded spots with my Heavy Gunner and ended up 1-hitting a Space Marine Reaver. Death Guard is fun because they are all about rolling dice and odds. I love them.
As a new player to Kill Team I am starting with Deathguard as a more simple approach to the game in learning all the mechanics with a more straight-forward Killteam. Very helpful review here- keep up the great work; love the content!
MY POXWALKERS ARE THE BEST! I haven’t won yet with my Death Guard, but the Pox Walkers can be ridiculous, either they survive some incredible attacks or they will rip an Exarch in half. Everyone focuses on the Plague Marines, and they don’t expect two squishy little zombie men to make it to the last turning point. Death Guard isn’t the most competitive, but they sure are fun if you aren’t a tryhard and just like to have fun and ridiculous stories, it’s like going to Vegas because you like seeing numbers. I always say that, just like Khorne, Papa Nurgle doesn’t care from whence the blood flows, just so long as it soaks into the soil and infects the water table.
You should try Deathwatch for a overview - kinda meh on Open, but an absolute glass cannon on ITD. 2 plasma pistols, plasma GUN and ANOTHER "budget" plasma (Frag Cannon) or a Heavy Bolter. And most of them have a power weapon for melee.
You all have great reviews. Started playing Wyrmblade because of you, and now hope to bring them to a tournament in october. Already been playing Plague Marines but can affirm; they is lotsa funs. You have good taste.
My cousin paint me this team... Ive always loved the deathguards and Morty ,thanks for all those Information about how to play them i was struggling alot ... now he paint me the Gellerpox for my birthday and damn i love nurgle hahahahah
Sorry to drop a comment on a 5mth old video but... when you were explaining the tactical hug (great name!) something caught me off guard. First, the poxwalker provided +1 melee support... Why? and then, the Fight received Cover from the poxwalker. Why? I have a feeling the answer is already in the rules, but I fear I missed it.
@@nickrafuse984 yep yep. The whole "allies act similar to light cover" thing is kinda hidden among the rules. Most people miss the "other operative's base" part of the cover overview.
@@nickrafuse984 but it does require you to be within an inch which makes you in combat with the enemy unit. Which normally makes you untargetable anyway
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the team building portion... You can have 8 PW, and only 2 other DG marines on the team? Then the combinations very but are limited correct? Thank you for the awesome guide!
A Kill Team consists of 2 Fire Teams. One and only one CAN be a pox team, but you don't need to do that. Each Plague Marine Fire Team consists of a total of 3 units. Among those three there are restrictions. Only ONE of those 3 can be a specialist (Fighter, Gunner, HeavyG) or you can leave it as a warrior. On a full team you can have one icon bearer replace one warrior, and you will need one warrior to be replaced with a leader. So if you go a pox fire team, you can take a 3 marine fire team with one leader, one warrior/specialist, one warrior/icon. No reason not to take the icon there, really.
@@KimerexProjekt Just saying, as a guy who just dropped too much money to buy 10 new Genestealers and 3 Tyranid warriors just for Kill Team...I would be very thankful.
Fully general Death guard? Focus on range. Melee is important in this game for front line things, but timing when to go is rough. And going HAM with bolters makes your double shoot rounds very useful.
I don't know you can get this, but I want to ask about "Hot" effect on Supercharge Plasma Pistol vs. "Disgustingly Resilient." Can the MW3 be saved or no?
great overview boss man, i would like to ask clarification on roster i have been using the ff: 1 - Champion 1 - Gunner 1 - fighter 1 - Icon Bearer 2 - warriors is this an invalid killteam for my DG? thanks in advance

it would only need one simple add on to be able to turn them in a bespoke team add a 7th operative that's it more needed

Your KT content, especially the team reviews are the best on the platform. Great work please keep it up 👍
This was great it was easily the best description for new players like myself trying to learn the game.

They are a good starter. Fun advanced tactics with very straightforward gameplay to fall back on.
@@KimerexProjekt and by advanced tactics you mean, one’s ability to roll a 5+… 😏

ayy great work as always man, keep it up! u got some of the best overviews for killteam out there rn imo

If you make it to the tourney, good luck. Wyrmblade are fun
Great video! Such a fun team to play, finally getting around to painting mine
Very helpful.Thank you.
Fantastic video! Tough team to play against in the right hands.
Wish I had watched this prior to playing against them for the first time last night!
Love playing with my DG!
The team comp for the marines gives me a headache
My cousin paint me this team... Ive always loved the deathguards and Morty ,thanks for all those Information about how to play them i was struggling alot ... now he paint me the Gellerpox for my birthday and damn i love nurgle hahahahah
Thanks for this! Love my Green Grubs 😂
Really helpful. Dare I say, DG are a tougher nut to crack in KT than in 40k at the moment.
I've seen the sub reddit 😐
Truly wish they would have updated the compendium properly

you know... I found it lol
combat support in the Fight rules. and Cover in the line of sight rules. Both are very good to remember
@@nickrafuse984 yep yep. The whole "allies act similar to light cover" thing is kinda hidden among the rules. Most people miss the "other operative's base" part of the cover overview.
@@KimerexProjektindeed, it doesn’t appear limited to allies?
@@nickrafuse984 but it does require you to be within an inch which makes you in combat with the enemy unit. Which normally makes you untargetable anyway
@@KimerexProjektFair... I guess there's no "big guns never tire" to worry about here. OK, I'll put this on my list of things to remember. thanks!
Very useful video! My gf was stumped with this team cuz tau always shoot us off the board. Hopefully we will have better luck this time
I might wanna play these guys. Defense 4 sounds fun and I can finally stop getting one shot by everything cuz I’m bad!
I love playing the DG, yesternight i traumatized a friend of mine after i FNP'd 3 of his Kasrkin Snipe's.

Wow, it doesnt get simpler than this, for realz,thank you Brother ✊🏻💯♥️🇫🇮im totally subbing you, My dude ❤
So is the recomdnation 1 brick of walkers 1 batch of marines
For on field? People usually prefer all marines. Walkers work for more advanced strats that are a little more difficult to pull off.
Man, I wish you could do one of these for Hive Fleet. There are literally no good videos that go over how to play them.
I'd have to borrow my friend's team, which i would then need to finish painting. Lel. Although ...
@@KimerexProjekt Just saying, as a guy who just dropped too much money to buy 10 new Genestealers and 3 Tyranid warriors just for Kill Team...I would be very thankful.
What would be your recommendation for a newbie friendly, generalist team ?
Boltgun champion, and two gunners ?

I don't know you can get this, but I want to ask about "Hot" effect on Supercharge Plasma Pistol vs. "Disgustingly Resilient." Can the MW3 be saved or no?
@@monoremu3200 it can be mitigated by the resilient roll, but you'll need to roll for each wound.
great overview boss man, i would like to ask clarification on roster i have been using the ff:
1 - Champion
1 - Gunner
1 - fighter
1 - Icon Bearer
2 - warriors
is this an invalid killteam for my DG? thanks in advance
That should be valid for the 6 marine team
‘Pleg’ 😂😂😂
So the fighter can pick 2 melee? And can use them both in a melee fight?
As stated, if you go the axe and mace combo you have to pick which profile to use each time you fight.
@@KimerexProjekt ahn ok sorry but I am new to keel team and hearin that I was thinking of some kind of dual wielding and both using them in a fight
@@enricob15 No worries. There aren't a lot of multi-wield melee units, so people tend not to come across this kind of thing often.
@@KimerexProjekt thanks for clarification I'm loving your video, interesting, easy to understand and great editing
What is compendium?
A book that was released at the beginning of Kill Team 2.0 that had all factions in it for team building before the bespoke teams started coming out.
They could probably give the Hearthkyn a run for their money, no matter the map.
