Hello everyone. I played my first game of 40k in many years today with the below list. My opponent was Death Guard, it was a close battle for a while, but his Bloat Drone with flesh mower turned out to actually be what I was hoping my Patriarch would be, and eventually ended up killing basically my entire army. I already know some things I'd like to try/change, and of course I made more than a few mistakes surely, but I'd welcome any thoughts you all have as well regarding composition/loadout/strategy. How do you deal with tough fast melee monster like the Bloat Drone?
