![]() ![]() ![]() What this questionable army idea lacks is staying power. Factor in it also causing D3 damage and your fat-mouthed daemon-engine is just as likely to match a meltagun for killing power as leave a smouldering, pus-ridden crater on the battlefield.Ĭonsider them instead as brute-force trauma with a blubbery sting in the tail. Heavy D6 shots means as many single shots as it does a handful. It should bunker down away from the foe raining horrible death into their heads. See, the Plagueburst Crawler is an odd beast. ![]() Give one two Entropy Cannons and Space Marine Predators weep at your potential damage output.Īnd the Plagueburst Crawler weeps for you. D6 heavy shots able to hit anything 12-48” away at Strength 8(?!), regardless of line of sight? Yes. When your eyes wander to its main armament, the Plagueburst Mortar, it’s clear to see why. It’s easy to look at a Plagueburst Crawler and condemn it to a life as artillery. I’ve included two of these in the list for particularly malicious reasons. Staying on the ground for now, turn your attention to the Plagueburst Crawler. Two three-strong groups of these cuties burning tearing around the field is enough to give anyone pause. Suicidal daemon-engine last stand, anybody? On the plus side, incoming melee attacks are at -1 to hit and, should a Myphitic Blight-Hauler die up close and personal with a foe, it’ll explode on a 4+ rather than a 6 to cause 1 automatic Mortal Wound on anything within 7”. With only 3 attacks, don’t expect their Gnashing Maws to dish out much murder even when you consider that they are strength 6 AP-1 a swing. ![]() They’re rather less awesome in close combat, however. Putting three in a unit together improves their chance to hit. With the added mobility their Tri-tracked ability confers, allowed them to fire without detriment to their 3+ Ballistic Skill, Myphitic Blight-Haulers are the anti-armour powerhouse of the Death Guard vehicles. They’re the meat of the army, a meat capable of splattering enemy tanks or heavy infantry from two feet away. Each hefts a Multi-Melta and a Missile-Launcher with both Krak and Frag options. What these blighters bring to the Death Guard Daemon-Engine army list are somewhat cheap sources of high-powered dakka. It eschews the notion of footslogging in favour of tracks, propellers, and rusted spinning wheels. In normal circumstances, they provide cover to any Death Guard infantry within a 7” radius. An oft-forgotten tiny tank, the Myphitic Blight-Hauler is a fast moving (for Death Guard) heavy weapons platform. Undeniably, but let’s take a look at this anyway.įirst, we’ll inspect the units here, beginning with everybody’s favourite little Daemon-Engine that could, the Myphitic Blight-Hauler. No Plague Marines? No Poxwalkers? Not even a Blightlord Terminator? Have I taken complete leave of my senses? Now you understand why this article holds the title of Dubious Army List.

But dubious lists lists focused on a singular element of an army’s mechanics or lore that borders on absurdity. Not the netlists we’ve come to love/hate seeing grace the wargaming tables of the world. When I’m not painting an unending stream of Orks, Deathwatch, or Flesh-Eater Courts, army lists brew in perpetuity in the cauldron of my damnable skull. Welcome, reader, to the deepest, darkest, least sensible regions of my mind. ![]()
