Excellent! I really like the overall feel, apart from a concern that lists will have to load up on Lesser Daemon Engine Formations due to Greater Daemon Engines being limited to one per Battle Titan. That will need some playtesting, though.
Thanks! And good point. Have been back and forth about this, and would prefer the list to be fairly rigid (cuts down on the possible variations = easier playtest). Maybe leaning towards having Lesser Daemon Engines being one for every Battle titan Formation and Greater Daemon Formation. Don't want the Greater Daemon Engines to become too dominant in the list.

I assume from some of the weapon stats and from the criticals that this is mostly based on the EpicUK lists?
The NetEA Warhound equivalents, Lords of Battle, Subjugators and Questors only take damage from criticals if the random move makes them walk into something. The EpicUK crits are probably more balanced, I just wanted to check this is intentional.
Yes, this is intentional.

Nurgle weapons also have some discrepancies from the current Death Guard list, so it might be worth changing either the stats or the names:
CTL Decay Cannon: 30cm 4xAP3+, Disrupt
DG Decay Cannon: 30cm 3xAP3+/AT5+, Disrupt
CTL Putrifier Cannon: 45cm 4xAP3+/AT5+, Disrupt
DG Putrifier Cannon: 60cm 4xAP3+/AT5+, Disrupt
The Corruption Cannon and Heavy Plague Mortar already have different names from the Liquefier Cannon and Plague Mortar so that's not an issue.
Good point. A name change on those is done. For now, I'm following the E-UK list pretty closely, but it may become an hybrid as time goes on. The woes of having different variations!

Rules Q: all formations have Daemonic Pact? That might be worth spelling out more clearly.
Yes, that's the intention. Will write it out.

Army Q: AA coverage is only from the Heretek Shrine and Temple? EDIT - and aircraft, obviously!
Yes, that's the only AA. Maybe it turns out that taking the Temple isn't worth it, and then I'll have to reconsider.

Army Q: when you pick a Battle Titan, do the Greater and Lesser Daemon Engine formations have to be from the same faction? For example a Nurgle Chaos Reaver Titan and an Undivided Chaos Warhound?
For a while I had that restriction, but removed it as I thought the penalty from the Faction rule was enough. Might put it back again in some form, but don't want the list to become *too* rigid. Have to buy a lot of armies and see what cheese I can find.

Unit Q: Defilers have a smaller main gun. I assume this is to make the Titans more popular for range? 10cm move on the Nurgle ones means they will never be taken, but I'm not sure what to do differently. Maybe lose Walker?
The Defilers look a lot like those in Lost and the Damned, and are intended for garrisons... But I agree, 10cm might be too harsh. Losing Walker could be an interesting alternative... Not having March is pretty bad as well.
Thanks for the feedback!
