I also think they should stay at 15cm. They can serve as a blitz guard or a defensive powerhouse denying the enemy easy access to T&H objectives.

Within Death Guard, even with Chaos Spawn and the less punishing crit effect, you're basically never ever going to see them get taken as transports if they have 15cm move.

yeah but 20cm makes them too good, given my experiences with the OGBM list recently, it's pretty significant how much difference a 20cm move makes over 15cm

As transports they are nasty with a 20cm move, they can barge more effecively, and more easily get into BTB to soak up six return hits on their reinforced armour, basically all of the complaints people have about the gorgon in the krieg list apply to the plague tower, only more so as instead of relatively weak guardsmen, a plague tower can spit out nasty plague marines and daemons....

not *every* option in a list has to be perfectly optimised and equally competetive...

Plague Towers have been 20cm move since early 2014, so it would be 'back' to 15cm rather than 'staying' at 15cm.

Anyway, later this evening I'll start a new thread in the NetEA Chaos sub-forum as this is getting a bit off-topic for a batrep.

plague towers have been 20cm move for testing purposes since 2014 in 2 completely experimental lists, the latd redux AC is still trialing them at 20cm and isn't convinced they need the boost either....

the only established, approved list with plague towers that I'm aware of is the original stigmatus coven list which has them at 15cm, and given the horrific feedback from users of that list at the suggestion of any changes, I'd say they are perfectly fine

edit: yes let's take this to the main DG thread

Nice Batt Rep. Good to see the Death Guard in action and some interesting units.

No Daemons though, do they not fit you build or they not worthwhile in a DG list?

I often run Daemons in Death Guard, but for this battle I wanted to test other units.
