Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Death Guard (section)

===Pros===
* Can fire Assault and Heavy weapons with none of the normal penalties when footslogging and Rapid Fire weapons can double tap from 3/4 (18") max range instead of the usual half range. This makes them the best shooting army for Chaos until [[Iron Warriors]], [[The Fallen]] and [[Dark Mechanicus]] get actual rules.
* Plague weapons make wound rolls reliable with easy access to re-rolling 1s, and can be buffed in several different ways.
* Excellent Toughness on average, and most of your army, including some of your vehicles, have Disgustingly Resilient (which can be buffed), giving you a 1/3 chance to ignore every unsaved wound, even a mortal one! 
* Lots of debuffing auras to discourage choppy armies from getting too close to you.
* Your basic troops are T5 - which in this edition is a serious boon, as all but the most lethal of weaponry will still only wound them on 3s. You need a Demolisher Cannon to hurt them on 2s!
* Gained Hateful Assault granting you +1 Attack when charging, being charged, or intervening, same as our loyalist brethren 
* Many of your units have ways of dealing mortal wounds, letting them bypass those annoying invulnerable saves.
* They have access to a Primarch.
* As the other army in the starter set and the Conquest magazine, alongside the Primaris Marines, it'll be easy to start up a collection. 
* They are one of the most up-to-date lines of Chaos models.
* Thanks to Grandfather, your auras have a greater size compared to nearly all other armies (7” compared to 6”), which is obviously very useful (and fluffy!)
