PC T1

[PaperBaG]

I've been toying around with the Plague champ recently, due to his t2 seemingly being really powerful but i've been struggling in t1 on what to go with. Also taking note of his units being highly req heavy so on maps other than gorge or others with 3 natural req points what do you purchase in t1 wargear and unit wise v certain races to make the transition into t2 smooth?

As an experianced Plague Champion player, PC wargear is all about counter attack. You don't really need to buy something if there is no need for it. I remember matches that ended with only Mucus Discharge and lvl 7. EG : You directly go Plague Sword but he has Devestators later on. FAILED! Same rules are true for all heroes I think.

About his T1 wargear, it is all anti-melee. Also, PC is the best anti-melee hero in the game. If you already know which wargear works good in which situations, you will never have problems. There are some tactics for example;

- Go Havoc and force him to get ASM. Then get Sword-Fetid armor and tear them apart.
- 2 CSM with Nurgle Worship back. Later on combined with Plague Marines or Dreadnought. Mucus Discharge for emergancy heal.
- If he goes all melee early on like 3 or 2 Slugga / 3 or 2 Hormo, Bile Spewer + Fetid combined with Havocs or Noise Marines.

As a result, do not get anything unless you need it.

A lot has to do with I know what wargear to buy to counter what but in general is it best to go 2 csm v certain races or 2 tics? get a tier 1.5 squad like nopise marines or havoc v what or just upgrade t1 squads and PC wargear till t2

You shouldn't have a direct build for every match. example : I go 2 CSM vs SM or GK but I go CSM into second Heretic vs IG, Eldar or maybe vs Tyranids. Imperial Guard can deal with CSM good but can not handle 2 Grenade Launchers. SM can easly for e off 2 tics but can not handle double öart of tzeentch CSM in T2. Your build depends on your opponent. Thankfully PC is a good hero for both of these builds.

In my book you can never go wrong with 2 Heretic squads. If melee isn't viable then grenades are awesome.

Yea my ? has more to deal with the t 1.5 units like v what races or on what maps is it best to go noise marines over havocs and vice versa or is their a build u can use that you don't build either and u just go t2 with csm and tics?
