Deathguard: The Beginning

I have recently started my Deathguard army that I have been pondering on since 3rd edition. When reading about them I really liked the story of lotsa rotty marines walking forward in unison spreading death and destruction up their foes. Well, now that 5th edition has rolled around and the legions are dead in the rulebook essentially, my plans have changed. While still adhering to most of the principles set forth by Grandfather Nurgle I will be adding some transports. Though in this army I will only have models with the Mark of Nurgle and all squads that have the possibility will be ran in numbers of 7 or multiples thereof. For starters I plan to build a 1500 pt army and eventually expand to over 3000 pts. So on with the 1500 pt list

HQ
Daemon Prince
MoN
Wings
Warptime

Troops
Plague Marine Squad #1 & #2 are same
7 Plague Marines
2 Plasmaguns
Personal Icon
Champion
Powerfist
Rhino
Combi-melta

Plague Marine Squad #3 & #4 are same
7 Plague Marines
2 Meltaguns
Personal Icon
Champion
Powerfist
Rhino
Combi-melta

Heavy Support
Obliterators
3 obliterators

That will be the initial buildup. The tactics for this army will mostly be running a plasma squad and melta squad in tandem on different areas of the board for versatility. The obliterators will deepstrike to the personal icon in the direst need at the time of arrival and the daemon prince is in there for bullet soak and fear factor. Though he can beat some heads if needed. Okay, so next time I will go into planned expansions and maybe some WIP pics of a couple models in the conversion process.
