DEATH GUARD | Warhammer 40k Codex Review

Discord: https://discord.gg/A7aPwNNynT

*Cough, Death Guard time, Cough*

Next up in this Year of Chaos is our Trust the Process reaction and review for the Warhammer 40K 10th Edition Codex: Death Guard.

These smelliest of Astartes are the sons of Mortarion and Nurgle's plague-bringers. The Death Guard are an unmovable wall—perhaps the sturdiest of forces you could bring to the Warhammer tabletop. Their playstyle combines toughness with a slew of aura abilities designed to weaken their foes, and the codex offers many ways to defeat their enfeebled opposition.

Joshy, Jonny, and friend of the channel Zac sit down for a long while to talk about the faction’s models, their army rule, and their numerous detachments—such as the Virulent and Shamblerot Vectoriums—and try really hard to summarise the Crusade narrative rules. Furthermore, we each offer a competitive list that, if we were starting an army, we would collect and play.

Get your multivitamins ready, and press play.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and gaming enthusiasts from their local group, Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our passionate (and somewhat humorous) ramblings in and around the hobby (though we cannot seem to shut up about Warhammer).

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Josh loves sci-fantasy, and so is quite at home with Warhammer! He plays Necrons, Adepta Sororitas, and Aeldari. His playstyle is reserved and cagey, preferring to outmaneuver his opponents before delivering the killing blow. His painting approach is a blend of fast painting styles and technical effects. He's the resident lore expert and wishes he could apply his encyclopaedic brain to other areas of life.

Jonny is a big fan of magic in his games and putting together vicious combos. He's the de facto Champion of Chaos when it comes to Warhammer, playing Chaos Knights, Thousand Sons, and Chaos Space Marines. He loves synergistic army lists and is always putting together new ideas. His painting approach is classic 'Eavy Metal.
