My Epic Death Guard Strategy - For 30k and 40k

In my continuing quest to have Epic armies for all my 28mm armies I am currently having a good hard look at what I want to achieve for my Epic Death Guard. I have quite a few old epic models in storage, and also have some newer ones that I have been lucky enough to come across, so thought it was a good time to work out what I wanted to achieve for this collection.

I tried to think about what makes a Death Guard army "Death Guardy". Once I would have simply said "Lots of blokes with bolters and nothing fast or long ranged" but that has been superseded by the more recent, more detailed (and far less lame) Forge World Heresy works.

Vehicle Damage Markers

Continuing my theme of wargaming aids made from things you shove in your ear I came up with some vehicle damage markers for epic games.

Typhon Heavy Siege Tanks

Typhon Super Heavy Tanks were utilised by the Death Guard during the Heresy. Armed with the Dreadhammer Siege Cannon the few remaining Typhon tanks continue to cause fear in the hearts of infantry to this day.

Blast Markers on a Budget

Having played a bit of epic again lately I've realised that I needed something to use as blast markers.

Not wanting to spend a single cent of my meagre budget on anything other than models, and occasionally paints, I looked around for quite a while until I came up with this innovative, if somewhat disgusting, option.

Medusa Siege Guns

The Medusa Siege Guns were heavily utilised by the Death Guard Legion during the Great Crusade and the events that followed. The powerful main gun, capacity to fire a variety of horrific shells, and the ability to keep pace with more mobile Death Guard elements meant that it has remained a key asset in the armoury of the followers of the Blighted Path.

Praetor Assault Launchers

I'm lucky enough to have a few Praetor Assault Launchers in my Epic Imperial Guard collection.
I recently painted them up in Death Blades colours, to add to my growing collection of 6mm greyness.

That was EPIC!

In what was an almost unprecedented event, I actually managed to play a game!

Actually three games!

I was lucky enough to go to the 2015 Heavy Bolter Epic Armageddon tournament. And it was great! I haven't played a proper game in years, so it was good to unleash the 6mm horde again.
