Today we discuss in regards to the Stankiest Pipe of  Warhammer 40k proper now – the Miasmic Malignifier.   How can Grandfather Nurgle make this stink cannon one thing respectable?

Man, how dangerous are the fortifications for 40k proper now?  Between being too massive, costing an excessive amount of, or simply flat doing nothing they’re all in a foul place.  I attempted to put in writing one in regards to the outdated GSC one however fortunately that pile of mess is gone so this leaves the Stankiest Pipe of 40k proper now – the Miasmic Malignifier.  Gather round as we gentle one up and discuss how we might help this Hot Mess.

I keep in mind when this got here out for the brand new Death Guard Codex.  I had excessive hopes for this little stink pipe with some form of neat concept of a large billowing cloud of loss of life.  Instead, we bought this bizarre little tube that has a wound attribute and no actual place within the military.  It blows out the Contagion potential however with it being a locked location it’s simpler to mess around.  Plus – when you had been frightened about it you may kill it.  So even when you positioned it ahead you might give your opponent some motion in the event that they determined to go punch it within the face.  Or in its rusty stomach.

Miasmic Malignifier Basic Goals

The concept of this factor is to showcase how a Death Guard military would pollute a world with its miasma of loss of life.  Which this mannequin doesn’t actually do or really feel prefer it matches up with that.  It is why I believe some main shifts in how it’s designed would assist make it distinctive as a substitute of one thing randomly thrown on a desk or show board to make it Nurgly.

Let’s Make It Scary

I say throw out the wound traits and simply make it this foreboding factor of dread.  Let it nonetheless throw out its Contagion talents but in addition add some defensive buffs on prime.  Have it spit out some Light cowl for these Death Guard buds close by.  This is an easy addition that would create a novel expertise and provides your military some form of cool buff.  The billowing clouds of silent however lethal farts make it more durable to get hit by these pesky new Space Dwarf loss of life bullets we are going to all be complaining about.

Make it Stank!

Having it spit out cowl is a straightforward factor however why not do one thing about how the horror of the Death Guard is spreading through the panorama?  Let it deep strike in flip one with the primary bellowing chimney after which every further flip it deep strikes within the different elements.  Let it really feel like it’s spreading its illness throughout the battlefield.  As the sport strikes alongside you begin to have 2-3 extra pipes which are spouting out gross nonsense that your Death Guard are in a position to make use of as little sanctuaries of grossness to assault from.

Make it Even Stinkier?

A whole lot of these Fortifications simply want just a few perks to make them grow to be a legitimate a part of your military.  AOS does this by giving auras and talents that enhance up your military.  Having the flexibility to push the Contagion bubbles round, give defensive advantages to your Death Guard models, and simply be a menace are all methods this unit could possibly be helpful and a beneficiant a part of your stanky boiz expertise.

Juice this chunky stank pipe up and let really present up on the tabletop.

Let us know the way you’d repair the unit, down within the feedback!
