List looks fine, but as always we'd need more to give you any actual feedback. What was the terrain setup, what were your opponent lists? Were we playing the current mission pack? Who went first? How did you deploy?
A lot goes into the analysis of a 40k game, but it definitely just sounds like you were lining up on the deployment line and didnt get first. WE don't play like that anymore. You need to do your best to be untargetable until you bust out from hiding for the go round.
Gotcha. I deployed the chaos spawn and the eightbound on the line. I didn’t go first any of the games, so I scouted back into cover. It was a local tournament that didn’t require lists to be submitted, so I don’t have access to that. Current mission pack, can’t remember the primaries tbh. I definitely need to work staging for a go turn. Any loose recommendations?. Felt like with death guard, id get into engagement, fail to kill them. They fall back and another unit shoots me off the board.
Honestly, I hate to say it, but WE are pretty much figured out competitively. There are people still trying without it, but I believe 2 forgefiends are the only thing keeping us in a large number of matches. DG is absolutely one of those matches. For your list, the eightbound could be split up. The 2nd berserker/MoE unit is probably not worth it. Could be replaced with a Lord on Jugg for 1 of the eightbound units, and the 2nd fiend you would need. This is all just pushing you back to the pretty basic Berserker Warband being run. Sad, but this isnt an army with flexible options. You're excited for that Ultramarine codex, though, right? RIGHT?
Edit: If you want the breakdown, I haven't been playing since dataslate, but I think winning competitive lists are bringing:
That leaves you 255 points to flex. 235 if you put Helm of Brazen Ire on the DP. I'd probably just take another Chaos Spawn, another Helbrute, put Favoured on the Slaughterbound, Helm on DP and call it a day. Like I said... mostly figured out.
This is super helpful, thank you! Was just kinda running the MoE/berserks because I have them. I’ll work towards the forgefiends. Thanks again!
