I'm assembling my DG stuff, and I currently own everything on the list except Morty himself, and that will change relatively soon. I'm not putting points down because I don't have my codex and don't feel like being super precise. It comes to around 2k points.
Super Heavy Detachment Mortarian (obviously)
Vanguard Detachment Malignant Plaguecaster Lord of Contagion
Blightlord Terminators x5, combi bolters and basic swords/axes (I'm annoyed these guys can't take lightning claws or power/chain fists) Blightlord Terminators x5, combi bolters and basic swords/axes Deathshroud x5 Hellbrute with two fists and a flamer Hellbrute with two fists and a flamer Foetid Bloat Drone with the flamer gun thing
Basically Morty will be doing the heavy lifting, the Deathshroud is supposed to keep him alive as long as possible by either deploying next to him if I go second or deep striking next to him turn 1 if I go first. The terminators and LoC will deep strike in turn 1 to be as annoying as possible and dump out a bunch of bolter shots, the bloat drone will be rolling with Morty, and the Hellbrutes will run up with the Plaguecaster because why not?
I have no idea if this will be any good, but I think it will be fun. I'm looking forward to actually buying/assembling the Mortarian model and getting this mob on the table.

It looks like a ton of fun CJ, and would look really awesome on the tabletop as well!

Nice list, righting it will be a nightmare!
This is really cool because it's the opposite in many ways of what I'm building and I think it will work fantastically. This army has a lot going for it

Foul Blightspawn [4 PL, 77pts]
++ Outrider Detachment +1CP (Chaos - Death Guard) [26 PL, 515pts] ++
+ HQ [5 PL, 89pts] +

Myphitic Blight-haulers [7 PL, 142pts] . Myphitic Blight-hauler [7 PL, 142pts]: Bile spurt [5pts], Missile launcher [25pts], Multi-melta [27pts]
Myphitic Blight-haulers [7 PL, 142pts] . Myphitic Blight-hauler [7 PL, 142pts]: Bile spurt [5pts], Missile launcher [25pts], Multi-melta [27pts]
Myphitic Blight-haulers [7 PL, 142pts] . Myphitic Blight-hauler [7 PL, 142pts]: Bile spurt [5pts], Missile launcher [25pts], Multi-melta [27pts]
++ Total: [108 PL, 1993pts] ++
Basically the cultists are screen for the lob of pox walkers featuring Typhus, the demon prince and the blightspawn. For each cultist you manage to mow down I'll get another pox walker, and typhus buffs them to S4/T4 with the blightspawn guaranteeing they will go first in combat. Typhus and the Prince add some additional offense to the blob.
The marines will provide primarily anti infantry support and objective grabbing. With unrelenting advance they are extremely nasty at 18 inches and the flail and blight launcher give them some flexibility against armor and CC.
The blight haulers give both groups of marines and the pox blob the benefit of cover and add some long range anti armor punch/Charge punishment.
The 3 plague crawlers are fairly self explanatory as artillary and back objective campers.
All together this makes a foreword moving gun line with a gooey horde center that is literally disgustingly resilient.
Thoughts?

What does the blight spawn do again?

He, among other things, forces enemies to hit second on the charge. It's another force multiplayer for a very buffed group of Pox Walkers.

So much Terminator. Too bad the Helbrutes don't also get Disgustingly Resilient.
Are there any models in the Deathguard Codex that haven't been released yet? What were those Ultralisk looking beasties from the artwork?

I think everything has been released at this point. I picked up the tallyman and plague surgeon recently, and I'm thinking of working them into either a line army. I also picked up 50 round bases to convert my zombies into poxwalkers and another bloat drone. Nothing like having options for 3 different armies with minimal overlap (I have a problem).

We are waiting on the blight Hauler.....which is really starting to aggravate me because I need 3 of them.

Yeah I think the blight hauler is going to be released in between the Eldar and Tyranid Codex, so like...next week probably. They're so cool! Could you reasonably convert one from a plague drone? With some orky ingenuity?

That's adorable. What is it, like a mini-dreadnought?
No new hulking beasts of Nurgle? Sad.
