This is a pretty solid list and you painted it real well that 10 stack of Blightlords with the leader i know will be a pain, but I know they are expensive. Maybe for future painting consider a unit of Deathshroud Terminators led by a lord of Contagion in the lists i make i never leave home without 2 units of Deathshroud Terminators

Personally I don't see the point of 10 man bricks of poxwalkers instead of the 20 man ones.

I do like the plaguebust crawlers though. Not many run them but I love them.

Major thing I'd say would be the defiler as you big point costing piece. I haven't ever ran a defiler cause the old model was awful (looks wise), and I don't really have room in my list for it. I haven't got a clue if its worth the points you spend on it.

Otherwise these are amazing paintjobs, well done.

[u/Individual_Ad6926 → u/funnyname12369]

Units of 20 poxwalkers are significantly harder to hide and position effectively. The Typhus blob can work well as a skirmish/scoring/disruption unit, but ideally you want your other units to just screen and score VP. You have a lot more flexibility with units of 10.

Otherwise, I think this list looks like a lot of fun. I took something similar recently, but with Mortarion instead of the Daemon Engines, and it worked well.

[u/LotsofFnords → u/Individual_Ad6926]

My first version had Mortarion instead of the PBCs. Still not sure which version is the better one

[u/Content-Structure-31 → u/LotsofFnords]

I honestly like Morty- you can Throw out him and the defiler and poxwalkers- defiler gets shot- put the damage on the poxwalkers- use Morty to get a full round of crazy shooting with defiler

[u/LotsofFnords → u/Individual_Ad6926]

How did you do and against what? Disruption or Priority Assets? Any tips?

[u/LotsofFnords → u/funnyname12369]

10 pix block are very nice for disruption, you need lots of action monkies. 10s do it just as good as 20s

Defiler is a very point efficient model, and your opponent needs to play differently into it, due to 12" ignore terrain movement.

Thanks, I love painting Death Guard, have 9000p painted atm, and i keep buying poxwalkers, they are just neat :)
