I know this will be controversial as I've gotten many weird looks and comments over the suggestion of creating any kind of viable straken-based close-combat Traitor Guard list.
I have been busily working on a 2k pt. Nurgle traitor guard (lost & the damned) list, using the new IG codex. Here I will post my current list for suggestions, comments, criticism, and tactics...
I will be opening another thread as my blog with the models progress, as this army is almost halfway built.
Some quick notes:
- The melta bombs are for dealing with dreads, walkers and heavy thrown at my large blocks to tie them up.
- The 'pace Vets (Puke Troopers) are for objective grabbing.
- The Commissar Lord (Lord Executioner) is to lead my unit of 40 Conscripts (Zombies), and keep them from running away.
- I am hearing bad things about Ogryns as Assault units, however Big Mutants are extremely characterful for Traitor Guard and the conversions are my favorites! (You will soon see)
- Infinitus is a Chaos Space Marine Lord being used as a Straken proxy.
