Nice talk! On your greater demon discussion: Death guard have been taking Rotigus in recent times. And as a package Rotigus + Nurglings are a steal for only 270 points. In general Death Guard are better with allies than most. Having a debuff as a army rule can benefit units like War Dogs or in above case Rotigus while T-sons/World Eaters does not give rules bonuses to allies. However Rotigus on his own bring sooo much for the points cost that he often can just place himself on an objective and hold it for the rest of the game!

Great reviews, Team.
great review. As a tyranids player, i don't understand why do Lukas Wobak use hive tyrant instead winged hive tyrant?
Hive tyrants give the Exocrines Assault and Lethal; and are situationally harder to kill (outside of the Vanguard strats)
