I have them in a PDF document that is a modified version of the whole army, but will send Rug a PM rather than post it. It's his list, and while I could contibute to it I don't want to steal his thunder.

Rug won't mind...

Sounds fine to me. I'd much rather this than change to normal Deathstrikes. Perhaps a nasty explosion for nearby troops too as a critical?

I hope we don't get too extensive changes. Making the Gorgon more expensive and with a worse critical, removing single Warhounds and dropping Krieg infantrymen's CC to 6+ would fix the balance problems nicely without reducing the character of the list (I strongly dislike Epic-UK's version of the Death Korps list).

I agree with everything said by GlynG and then +1 more

Oh? Could you expand further please, if only to give further insight into the issue and potential fixes.
Note, I have no particular preferences either way, save finding a solution that is acceptable to all.

The Epic-UK version cuts down a lot on the detail and character of the Death Korps from the 40k and net-ea list, which appeals to me as a fan of the Vraks books. The net-ea DK list is one of my favourite epic lists while the Epic-UK version is probably my least favourite Epic-UK list.

There are many units removed or abstracted but I mainly miss the lack of Trojans and Centaurs, Heavy Mortars and Quad Guns, Deathstrike Silo, Thunderer, Macharius variants and the Engineer formation.
I prefer the poorer, cheaper, Death Riders in the net-ea list as it gives more of a horde feel.
I prefer the net-ea Medusa stats and role, reflecting the Medusa Platform's ability to indirect fire to long range.
I prefer the net-ea DK fire support, with half heavy stubbers.

I'm not suggesting changing the Epic-UK list, but I wouldn't want to see the net-ea list follow suit.

I agree with this as well. I wouldn't perhaps say I strongly dislike it, but we should not strive for the epic-UK list it does seem dull compared to the net-EA version.

The one exception I see though is the silo. I could live without that one. It's a bit silly (IMO) and at least needs a big nerf like discussed earlier.

Pretty much this, there are so many bits and pieces in the netEA list that aren't in the epicuk one, it seems a bit plain by comparison. I'd hope a light touch should be able to sort this one out...

I would have thought the silo only makes sense if you're playing in trench style, not gorgon smash n grab

Quad Guns are present, just renamed as Light Artillery.

I miss the LR Thunderer though.

It is true that it would only make sense with at least some trenches. Hmm... maybe this could be an actual list requirement? State in the Deathstrike Silo entry in the army list that it "May only be taken if at least two Trenchworks formations are taken". I'd like this to be in addition to the reduced DC and save too.

The list should encourage trench / artillery style play though, it's the way DK are meant to fight virtually all the time - it's not uncommon for their artillery pieces to sit unmoving in one location firing for years or decades. Massed Gorgon assaults happen only very occasionally when a situation calls for it, but the current DK lists have wonky internal balance making this the much more competitive and regularly used option.

You do make a reasonable argument against it. People with a model for one could just use it as an objective marker instead.

I definitely think the DKOK list is massively overstuffed at present, having almost as many tank choices as the minervans, two flavours of elite stormtrooper-esque infantry, and even two different types of transport for different types of emplaced weapons, it just has way more toys than it needs IMO

it was also written from the ground up as a siegebreaking list with the focus heavily on attack rather than the boring-as-batshit siegemasters, if you want loads of trenches and static artillery, the baran list will give you all the mediocrity you desire it has nothing to do with 'wonky' internal balance, the list was specifically written to avoid static, defensive play

I like the suggestions earlier, increase the cost of the gorgons, maybe make them have a more dangerous crit, get rid of singleton warhounds, and do something about the deathstrike silo, too many changes in one go will mean we end up not knowing which factor was the most significant, we can always tweak further if more changes are neccessary after a period of playtesting

I believe you're wrong on that. I was around when the Krieg list was being developed and it was designed to flexible and able to be run mobile or static, or a mix. Just like SM or CSM armies can be run as planetfall armies, mechanised armies or a mix. The FW Vraks books make it very clear that the DK tactics are to make war in an extremely static trench warfare way, writing the list specifically to avoid that would have been inappropriate and against their background.

Are siege armies always boring to play? I wouldn't want to play one all the time, but it could be fun to play with or against one for something different occasionally. Similar with all planetfall armies or all titan armies. I've fielded DK armies without Gorgons and found them fine and you'll still have some mobile/fast elements in a list (Death Riders, Grenadiers, Engineers or Titans).
