"This year I'm going to build and paint an entire Dark Eldar army" "Anyway, here's my death guard army"

[@robertchmielecki2580]

Wouldn't mind him to try out other things on the market, apart from GW. Maybe he's afraid of losing views, but I think many viewers would also like to see something different painted and played every now and again. There are so many cool things to paint - new Warmachine, A Song of Ice and Fire, Malifaux, Judgement, Conquest...

[@jc7997aj]

I'd like to see him do a big Kingdom death model or one of their racey pinup minis. Hey, we the audience largely paint 40k, he's a fan of 40k obviously. So he knows his audience for the most part want to see him paint what they themselves are painting. He has done several of what you listed anyway. I think if he plays it then he'll be OK making videos about the painting of them.

[@captainweekend5276]

@@robertchmielecki2580 He's done a fair bit of Malifaux, it's just an issue that for any hobby channel that do mostly GW/Warhammer is that their views immediately drop on anything that isn't warhammer since other games just don't have anywhere near the same audience.

[@robertchmielecki2580]

@@captainweekend5276Yeah, I guess that's true. I was just thinking that even people who only play GW games would like to see other things the market offers from time to time, but it's Jay who has tangible statistics of views and know what works and what doesn't

[@radoineta]

in general, its more: this years i only buy what i need for my army and finish to paint my army.... But all know it wont happen

[@pauldainton6718]

That metal banner is from an old Palanquin of Nurgle, These is my favourite units you've done

[@kevincutter5334]

I love to run the Talkyman and Putrifier in a ranged squad of marines and the Noxious Blightbringer andBiologus Putrifier in a melee and flamer focused squad... they are definitely the best 4 and you can attach up to 2 in a squad of 10

[@IFunkyCheese]

Alright he teased the box again boys but he’s asking for help with his depth guard. 1. The paint scheme is cool keep doing it even if you have to do look alike stuff. 2. Typhus is a need, foetid bloat drones with flesh mowers, plague burst crawlers that look like hot shoe crabs maybe some green stuff brass scorpion/ maulerfiends made to look more sea creature like. 3. Jay please just put together the box we beg you

[@ryetee123]

The one guy that keeps commenting on it going crazy rn

[@Barry-Sweaty]

Lol I totes thought about that doooder as soon as I saw the title. Hahahaha

[@maroonlion2150]

[@thenapalmbrothershq5585]

Was it me?

[@totalCoolerUsername]

Let's hope he texts his crushes nicer

[@Ogidamanisha]

My exact thought!!!

[@Tourniquet]

7 is the way to go for no other reason than it's Nurgle's number

[@SteelStorm33]

and seven isnt 10, so blast suffers :) without forcing squads in tens and fives the rule would be useless because everyone would take 9 instead of ten, which wouldnt be good either 10th is a mess

[@Alexsaurus332]

​@@SteelStorm33problem with 7 is that it hits the 2-model unit coherency restriction. So models muet be within 2" of 2 models rather than one.

[@boerhcauldur1873]

I run 2 7 man squads rn, throws most people off lol

[@deathguarddisgustinglyresilien]

So you want to learn about Death Guard... i think i can help with that ;) if you fancy it id be up for helping you out! ;D - Disgustingly Resilient Aiden

This is the right answer right here.

[@PoxmanVoxman]

THIS!

[@graycube]

All your death guard needs.

[@Njay432]

YES !

[@superficialme]

That would be sick!

[@BrakkoJanus]

Your Plague Marines are probably my favourites among the models you've painted! Along with the baby goat Beastmen, they are glorious too. But the shifting colors on thse ones, they look absolutely amazing.

[@bretts2356]

Jay: the Lord of Contagion is fantastic. You did my boy right. If I hadn't sent him to you, he'd still be on the sprue.

[@Moonlighter_TV]

Jay, you need to check out the Disgustingly Resilient Podcast. Aiden is one of, if not THE best death guard player in the UK and he along with Will and Death Guard Dave have all the info you would ever need to get a competitive list that suits your vision. I would personally love to see a collab where you get a short coaching session to help make a list that matches the models that you want to play and paint.

[@timeenoughatlast3368]

Love Aiden. Met him in person at a Tournament. He's a really cool guy. Also yeah he is the best DG player in the UK

[@magnusmillerwilson]

Jay, this color scheme definitely solidifies how excellent of a painter you are. Being able to go beyond the box art colors shows how confident and skilled you’ve become! It’s also inspiring to see for those of us who don’t have that experience or confidence yet. 😊

[@jc7997aj]

Wait .... we're supposed to copy the box art ?🤔 I knew I was doing something wrong.

[@MrSteelface96]

lmao what? xD

[@lukepoplawski3230]

He’s definitely a talented painter with his color theory, blending, etc. but I’ve never seen a color scheme he’s done that I personally like. But I’m a basic Betty at heart.

[@jc7997aj]

@@lukepoplawski3230 I've never used a color wheel. I've seen them, but never used one. I usually just think of which colors will look good on the model and paint it in my head first... then if that works great thats how I paint it if not on to some more schemes.

3 crawlers, 3 drones , 3x7 marines, some deathshroud and a Mortarion. Really happy you doing this btw.

[@11AleZZ]

2x10 or 1x10 and 2x5, with 7 you don't get the extra special weapons

[@blastvader]

@@11AleZZ yes, but at the same time you fail at being a DG player by not honouring Nurgle's sacred number.

[@EfaunAipiera]

These don't look like drukhari, my good sir.

[@coldgoose3807]

Nuh uh

[@s.k4713]

Nah there wracks don’t question it

[@markbrand436]

7 Plague Marines is a good amount of body for the points. If you have a squad of Nurglings, you can take that beautiful beast of Nurgle as is. He's a tanky boi. A good start for plague marine list usually starts with 3x7 Plague Marines in Rhinos and leaders like Biologus Putrifiers, couple of Bloat Drone or 2 to buzz around, Deathshroud Terminators and Plagueburst Crawlers. I've seen Big Morty, Typhus with and without Poxwalkers, Cultists, Lord of Contagions and Nurglings. As an avid Nurgle fan boy, I love the look of this army, I usually max out the 500pts of Daemons to keep my Deathguard company. Look forward to see more of these guys.

[@HerbaceousM8]

as of the points changes Typhus is a must take unit no matter what else you run

[@LoneTailProductions]

Man, your absolute joy in the memories of each model is truly a joy to watch. Thank you for this early morning smiles and also remembering painting my daemon prince in a hasty haze after 35 straight hours of painting a whole World Eaters Army. That was a treat to go back to 😂🤘🏼

[@DrakeossDragoon]

That little Nergling on the fly would be a great stand in for another Blight Drone, just give him his own epic base flying high in all his own glory. He's his own boss not just some decoration for a "Bigger and better" model lol

[@PoxmanVoxman]

Pleeease collab with The Disgustingly Resilient Podcast they could teach you so much! Their content has been a life saver for myself and many other DG players for 10th ed!

[@radoineta]

Hi, i play DG since 8th edition and maybe i can help you -> u need some plague burst crawler, some pox, plague marine, biologus, foulbligth spawn,mortarion, and deathshroud (they hit very hard ^^)! GL and have fun to paint them ;)

[@corukana]

The disgustingly resilient podcast on KZbin is a great resource you could listen to some of the faction fundamentals or the assembly series to get an idea on what you want to expand with.

[@douglaswagner3949]

Plague burst crawlers give you some indirect fire. Nice big chonky vehicle to show of your color scheme too.

[@Skriggly]

[@CPyJIb]

This is what i think about Death Guard units and what i had most fun and success with. Must haves: - Mortarion - Typhus + Deathshroud Terminators probably in reserve Good units: - Nurglings - Plagueburst Crawler, even at 180 pts - Plague Marines, i personally like Torrent/Heavy + Melee weapons squads, coz they punish with overwatch. - Rhino, Havoc launcher and Firing deck 2 are great - Lord of Contagion + Deathshroud Terminators probably in reserve - Torrent Leaders for Plague Marines (Malignant Plaguecaster, Foul Blightspawn) Situational: - Lord of Virulence only if you have 2+ Plagueburst Crawler and 1+ Rhino / 1+ Biologus Putrifier. Also a hard one, coz you want him on battlefiled with Deathshroud Terminators and they are slow. Maybe in reserve to rapid ingress on opponent's turn. - Biologus Putrifier - Noxious Blightbringer - Foetid Bloat-drone

[@Hazy719]

Come on 7 is nurgles sacred number your flesh Brain wanting 3 squads of ten is just it's naturally rebellious nature against entropy. It will pass..

Dude could you do a video painting one up in your colour scheme? Looks really cool!

[@banthahunter9994]

Hey, i've just started warhammer and have chosen the death guard. i've just painted my first 7 plague marines. What tips can you give me on what to do next? I love your videos, they always give me motivation to paint.

[@pomegranateelf7819]

My death guard army is very small at the moment, about combat patrol side, but I see a whole lot of battle reports featuring them over on "play on." most of the armies I see feature mortarian with terminators, typhus with pox walkers, or very heavy vehicle list with drones and plague burst crawlers. Hope this helps, keep up the good work Jay, love your content.

[@RO-Explorers]

6:37 , Jay I would recommend some deamons especially as I play death guard an d maggotkin of nurgle myself and keep them In squads of seven because they can have leader like the chosen of mortars join them. They also work better than in squads of ten also you can use mk 3 as plague marines

[@TheDarkChaplain]

I'm the same type of gamer, on tabletop and video games. Some maths are fun, but I hate this overly calculated power play bs. I want to field the models I like and enjoyed painting first and foremost, I don't care if Unit A isn't optimal when Unit B exists, because Unit A either wins on the rule-of-cool scale or fills the role I envision for my army's background. And if Unit C is ugly, I won't field it even if its rules are making it a must have. Often enough, especially with Age of Sigmar, which is very hero-focused, mathhammer would also have you bring multiples of the same hero over and over - and I refuse to do that. The only way I'll bring a duplicate is if it has a different model/loadout option or I thought it was fun converting it.

[@tylerrichman4416]

I’ve got some imperial hobby paints left over from production. But mindtaker minis has the better paint formulation that I made. Love the work Jay!

[@Dark_Lord_Abbadon01]

Honestly my deathguard army is a mess, the only sense it has is that I took the cooler minis, i recommend brighylords terminators and death should, so fun to paint, and let’s not talk about typhus, I love him

[@ac_clone1300]

I would say your next purchases should be one or two plagueburst crawlers because they synergize very well with mortarion, deathshroud terminators because they are easily the best melee unit in dg. And typhus because he is criminally undercosted for what he does in game and is an auto include in every dg list.

[@ac_clone1300]

Also if your wanting to run 10 man squads of plague marines you should invest in some characters like the biologus putrifier who give the 5+ critical hits which are lethal and can be sustained if you spend a cp. also the other best plague marine character is the foul blight spawn who gives plague marines fight first.

[@modelmanjohn]

That's what I tell wife. "I don't know how I managed to collect 250 tyranid models. It was an accident!"

You need: Nurgling Swarms to get those secondary objectives. A Tallyman to get CP. You can run him solo to hold your home objective. Poxwalkers to screen your deployment zone. Cultists to grab stuff in the midfield ASAP and mess with your oponents perception of DG being slow. Then grab any of the resilient units and just park them in objectives 😂 (Deathshroud terminators are particularly fun to park anywhere)

[@FelipeBudinich]

And of you want to mess with Sean, just use a lord in terminator armour with a retinue of deathshroud that can just walk through an imperial guard parking lot because of the chainfist ☝️

Plague Marine Character Tier List Top: Biologus Putrifier (Crit 5s), Foul Blightspawn (fight first) Mid: Tallyman (+1/hit, CP generator) Meh: Noxious Blightbringer (reroll adv/charge, -2LD), Icon Bearer (+1OC, 1 round of huge contagion) Sad: Plague Surgeon (6+++) My source is mostly what people are doing in tournaments successfully. I am technically counted in that group, I went 4-1 in a GT with DG a couple weeks ago using a Putrifier and Blightspawn for my marines.

I've got 14 Operatives for a Death guard Kill team (My 7th team) made from a full box of the heroes and a box of Plague Marines. The Plague caster is painted but isn't a kill team operative. They form "The Rusted host" and are currently under attack after having been discovered by Memoirs of Isstvan on their eternal quest to purge the traitorous members of of the legions that tried to purge them at Isstvan III. The rusted Host are my 3rd "Chaos" team after Compendium Chaos "The Illuminated & The Cult of the Ancient Muse" who are Loyalist Alpha legion using chaos cults to purge the Imperium of the Eclesiarchy who by their own deeds and the fact they follow Leticio Divinitatus authored by none other than Lorgar Aurellian are indeed Traitors. and "The Shrouded" who are Word bearers Legionaries. They are teams 3, 5, and 7 of 8 WIth 1 Being Compendium tau (Cadre D'Yanoi Ta'ro'cha Ko'vash Tau'va) 2 Being Deathwatch (Memoirs of Isstvan) 20 Loyalists who escaped the Isstvan III massacre and through warp shenanigans ended up in M41 on a quest to purge traitor brothers. 4 being Compendium Tyranids (Splinter Tendril Marianis) 6 being Pathfinders (Kauyon Yash Savon) and 8 being Wyrmblade (The Cult of the Twilight Starchildren) Teams 1, 4, 6 and 8 (The non marine teams) All find themselves on the Twilight world of Torax IV involved in various battles Teams 2, 3, 5, and 7 are all Fleet based teams who find themselves more often than not engaged on whatever planet they encounter one another on.

The current DG meta is Morty with 3 PBCs, 3 FBD, 3x3 or 2x3 DS with typhus or Termie sorceror, and 2x10 PMs both with Biologus and Blightspawn on Rhinos, and 2 Nurglings

[@oskar6661]

While I don't 40K anymore, when I had a previous Chaos Space Marine force which was 50% Nurgle, I had a series of Rhinos made-up using Leman Russ tracks. It's an easy conversion and makes them far "heavier" looking, and older/more archaic. Gives an almost WW1 vibe. Went well with the rusty Nurgle look.

[@84jesterx]

I haven't even finished my 1k death guard from that Battlebox you have there. I did get Morty to 80% painted, but I haven't assembled all of my plague Marines...damned adult responsibilities and hobby ADHD. But @ Jay, I started my WH40k hobby in mid 2020 due to a mid life crisis, I have never painted anything mini-model like in my entire life before, and yet I got Morty mostly painted. I'm sure you could do it. I want to see what craziness you could come up with.

[@paudiedaly22]

Child of Chaos- Tycho from PlayOnTabletop is a great example of a experienced and knowledgeable Nurgle player. He's currently on a bit of a winning streak, so he'd be a good example to learn from. Most of his DG lists have 2+ plagueburst crawlers, deathshroud and blightlord termies, Morty, Typhus, plague marines, nurglings, and some of the drones and other vehicles.

[@bluesheepminecraft]

Dude I was going through an architecture degree back then too! I dropped out later - but still super cool!

[@anazron805811]

The best Death Gaurd build before was 3-5 Rhinos with 10 Plague Marines lead by Foul Blightspawn for fights first. They nerfed Plague Marines a bit so they're more expensive, you can probably still go for something like that, but I think Deathshroud Terminators can be good if you rapid ingress them in.

[@FnRenner]

If you wanna run Death Guard to the fullest and funnest then you have collecting to do. Mortarion. Typhus and a huge unit of pox walkers or Deathshroud termies to run with him. A great unclean one because seeing your opponents eyes when they see both Mortarion AND an unclean one on the table is always worth it lol. More vehicles, 3 of each for list flexibility. EDIT: Forgot to say.... Minis look SICK! Great job, man!

[@caboose759]

So a buddy of mine plays Deathguard and he always hits me with what we call the "Fart Bomb." You need: 10x Plague Marines. Kittes out however you want A Chaos Lord and an Icon Bearer attached to said unit of Plague Marines. The chaos lord gives everyone rerolls of 1 to hit which is nice but his second ability applies mortal wounds to enemy units in contagion range of his unit. While the Icon Bearer can increase said range to be 12" for a single turn. So you essentially have a 24" circle of morral wounds that you can just pop off. You can also get the enhancement that increases rhe range by another 3" too, effectively having a 30" fart cloud once per game. It only does 1d3 to each enemy but of you snag enough people that suddenly becomes alot of free damage. The wording on the mortal wounds ability is a little iffy on the number of targets but it doesnt specifically say you pick a single unit to deal damage to so qe read it as EVERYONE, but acknowledge its up to interpretation.

[@MatteoGiammarioli]

A self proclaimed "Death guard aficionado's" apprehensive guide to plague marine/virion characters: Death guard chaos lord: Not horrible but a bit boring and a lot less interesting than other characters. Malignant plaguecaster: Is fun and a decent option, maybe a bit expensive but the model is super cool. Noxious blightbringer: A bit situational and unremarkable but usable. Foul blightspawn: Generally considered to be one of the best plague marine characters because of his fights first ability and pretty strong gun, a great option. Biologus purifier: Almost auto-include, super strong and more than anything crazy fun to play. Tallyman: Decent buffs but is mostly just included because he's the only thing in the index that can generate additional command points. Plague surgeon: Sucks. Overpriced and underpowered, not even all that fun either. Icon bearer: The worst, does almost nothing super boring and forgetful.

[@xzyled5684]

For the infantry characters the Biologus Putrifier(biology professor) Foul Blightspawn, and tallyman are the GO TO characters for marines, the Malignant plaguecaster is not the worst but still usually side lined in "meta" lists. Death shroud are auto include these days and sadly the blightlords are pretty baaad at the moment. Typhus is auto include at the moment as well, while Lord of contagion and Lord of virulence are solid options to join death shroud as well. Plague burst crawlers are still solid even with the new point increase. Mortarion is really good BUT he is more of a support character than damage sadly. His aura's are AMAZING but he hits like a wet noodle 😭Lastly bringing allied war dog brigands are solid anti-tank/infantry with the melta and chain cannon and allied nurgling's are almost a MUST HAVE for secondary scoring(behind enemy lines/deploy homers/engage on all fronts/investigate signals) because everything we have is so bloody slow other than bloat drones and Myphitic haulers. As other's have said checking out the Disgustingly Resilient Podcast with Aiden is the go to for everything death guard related for learning the in's and out's 🤘

[@gingerlyza]

Here’s the answer for you plague marines characters. Great=biologous putrefier, foul blightspawn, good=malignant plaguecaster, death guard chaos lord, ok=icon bearer, tallyman, noxious blightbringer, not great=plague surgeon.

[@timeenoughatlast3368]

As a Death Guard Player. You can make all the Virions work but some are better than others. Foul Blightspawns, Tally Men and Biologious Putrifiers are must haves if you're running Plague Marines in big units. Plague Marines are best when stacked with heavy plague weapons and Plague Spewers. Which combo well with the Blightspawn/Biologious. Generally DG used to revolve around Morty and Tanks but PM are so good rn and the strats/faction ability are so strong you can make any list and see some play in casual games. Tbh man just put something you find interesting together and DG will be good fun to play as or against

[@maxmartin2087]

Love the paint scheme, I personally am doing the 30k scheme. I’d definitely recommend going with 10 man squads of plague marines and then pick up a couple foul blightspawn and Biologius putrifier. Then run a bunch of deathshroud with characters

[@CoryAnthony-vy4fl]

Im a EC player. My favorite units are Noise Marines. I even converted my legionnaires into noise marines. I made custom made sonic blasters out of miliput. I just got back into it. Right now all i have is. Deamon prince, Contemptor dread with custom made sonic baster, lord of discordant, 5 raptors, 5 chosen, 8 terminators (i bought a box and a friend gave me 1 eightbound and a terminator bc he dosnt do chaos. I kitbashed the eightbound into the termi champion. Lol And i have 20 noise marines. Before ill say this army is done, im going to get another deamon prince, either a land raider or couple predators, and 2 forge or mauler fiends. But if your going with death guard you totally need to get some flesh mower drones, plague crawlers, hell brute and beasts of nurgle. Those are AMAZING when it comes to capturing things. Bc if you dont kill them right off, they regain all their wounds their next turn. And if your going to run a lot of pox walkers you can always run Typhus with some death shroud around him. He is only worth using if your going to run a lot of pox walkers though. A great unclean one would be awesome too. And i love plague crawler tanks. Bc from what i last remember coverage dosnt effect them. So if your enemy is in cover, to bad 😂.

[@HerbaceousM8]

typhus is sorta a must take, i think he is the most powerful for the points unit in the game right now. the other drones arent in the army since 10th. we lost a lot of units from 9 to 10 ed. there are 2 kinda lists. the one you are closest to is: Typhus, 3 Biologus Putrifiers, Foul Blightspawn, 3 rhinos, as many marines as you can fit (a 10 man and 4 5 man is EU meta)and then some Nurglings or 10 Cultists, 2 Foetid Bloat-Drone , Death Guard Predator Destructor, 3 Plagueburst Crawler

2:02 Chameleon I think they call it, that really *really* expensive paint for cars. Like 7,000 a Gallon O.O 2:20 You managed to capture that in your Models, Wow.

Seven plague marines is ok because you can get more unique weapon options in the squad over just five, but 10 lets you double up! Lord of Contagion sucks (great model though). For competitive purposes you need Plagueburst crawlers, some death shroud, foul blight spawn and biologus putrifier. The greater plague drones should just be run as bloat drones with a blight launcher, run the blooded as cultists and use their scout move. Rhinos are good transports for your otherwise quite slow plague marines. Defilers are ok but I’d wait until at least the chaos codex is out (the model is old as F and due a replacement). Nurglings are great as allies too, they can infiltrate or deepstrike. Your beast of nurgle as an ally is also pretty good as a deepstrike annoyance (full heal if it’s not killed in a turn).

I'm no Death Guard expert at all, but a buddy of mine gets some good use out of huge poxwalker spam, including Typhus i think (leader that raises them back when they die, and turns dead enemy infantry into poxwalkers. they also run 2 large squads of Blightlord Terminators who do a lot of the heavy lifting.

jay i love all of your armies and you even inspired me to start painting a black templar army

Put the nurgling riding the fly *AND NOTHING ELSE* on Mortarion's base. He IS Mortarion.

[@Bluewater1976]

The Plague Drone sprue comes from the Pusgoyle Blightlords box from AoS, which is pretty new. The old Drone models don’t have the bells underneath the bellies and use flight stands, nor do they have this specific fly flying Nurgling, who’s is the best boi.

Hi. A little less conversation, a little more action please. You have a beautiful face and good stories, Jay. But I'd rather be looking at your minis while listening to your talk instead of looking at your face 98% of the time and seeing the minis you are talking about for only a couple of seconds. Edit your videos showing more closeups of the minis than your face. Please. Or do it split screen. Win-win.

I want to do iron Warriors if I do chaos And I've already figured out instead of doing them silver Or Gray iron I'm going to do something close to a gun metal With copper for certain mechanical parts And metallic gold and black for the Black and yellow hazard stripes And at least one character is gonna get modified To look like a demon Prince Of the mechanic Chaos God, Because of all of the Chaos groups Outside of the dark Mechanicum The iron warriors would be the closest connection to the soul forge So a minor chaos god Making his own demon Prince Outside of the primarch Would make some sense Just gonna give the guy lightning claws And wrist mounted bolters Some mechanical wings a tail with some death claw style horns on his head And a few exhaust pipes on his back That are similar To the piping on the back of a xenomorph And I'm probably going to use a primaris Terminator as the base Because he's bigger than a primaris And they are bigger than regular Marines So sizing would work perfectly

[@luminalpath1586]

Best individual characters currently are the biologus putrifier (grenade guy), the foul blightspawn (flamer guy), and the talleyman (guy with pen lol) also get a plagueburst crawler tank or 2

[@tarjeg5041]

If you end up with a fourth squad of plague marines, that would make it 30, with the two blind bags. So you know what that means.?That’s right; buying another box of marines.

[@tzaddik08]

Typhus is auto-include Deathshroud are amazing As many have said, Biologus Putrifier is a must with plague marines of any kind Foul Blightspawn is great with melee plague marines Rhinos are great for melee plague marine bricks of 10 with the last two Mortarion is amazing against current meta because he gives an aura of ignore modifiers Plagueburst Crawlers are great and have synergy with lord of virulence Tallyman has utility, only guy who generates cp Most the other guys are take it or leave it
