Death guard force

I am not NOT going to do Dark eldar kroot. I just change my mind of what i want to do all the time. I is on my list of things i want to do. I went through a Sisters of battle stage (or Apapta Soroitas now) but i want a Death Guard force now. I need to get a real Chaos space marine force, not just an allied detachment for a Heldrake.

I want Chaos space marines to be my 'fun' army. Tau are my cheese force, sisters are my tournement army. So i need something to balence everything out, when i don't want to win all the time, and just relax. So, Death guard!

My Chaos marine force will not contain any Heldrakes. I am going to stay strictly within Death guard combat doctrine. That means no transports, bikes, jump infantry, tanks, or flyers. I am going to have lots of boots on the ground (cultists and plague marines) backed up by obilterators. This is a list i have been thinking of:

Chaos lord (The leader of my force, and the focal point)
Mark of nurgle (He's death guard...)
power axe (Bye terminators)
murder sword (FUN)
palaquin of nurgle (Will make him stand out model wise and makes him T5 W5 and with 6 attacks on the charge)
veterans of the long war (He's from the original legion, he fought on Terra!)
sigil of corruption (Whats better then T5 W5? T5 W5 with a 4++!)

x2:
x7 plague marines
x2 plasma guns
power axe
veteran of the long war

x6 plague marines <------Lord goes here (making the squad number 7)
x2 plasma guns
power axe
veterans of th... you get it

x3:
x14 cultists (bubble wrap for the marines

x3:
x2 obilterators (going to convert some centurions, i do not like finecast)
Mark of nurgle

1490

The obilterators unleash hell on the enemy while the cultists meat shield for the plague marines and they march up the board blasting away with plasma. The lord character hunts. Pretty simple and true to the DG combat doctrine i think.

I want to use the warriors of chaos lord as my lord, but with some converting to make him nurgley. Then im going to put him on a palaquin (nurglings with a rhino door on top). This is going to make him insanely tall and make him stand out. I have to be careful actually no i dont: T5 W5 3+ 4++.

I will take me a while to get everything i need but for now i am going to get the lord and the palaquin so stay tuned for that.

Until then.
