lol

though i hope that rubric marines are more durable than plague marines...and plague marines are second to them. people forget that they are able to wield bolters and chainswords. AT THE SAME TIME!

Wut? Death Guard Marines are famous for carrying bolter gun (not pistol) at one hand and some cc weapon in the other, not Rubric Marines. TT wise Nurgle guys had always higher toughness and Rubric Marines +1 invl save. I don't know about the 6th ed. though and I don't know how to reflect these things in EC in future either.

Bro we wield storm bolters one handed without termie armor, step up!

No need to be a disease freak to weild storm bolters in 1h

Neither does it take a rubic to one hand a regular bolter.

But this guy is a hero class and Death Guard are (almost) regular grunts. Besides, we can often see various SM and CSM holding full size bolters in 1h, well any of them can do it. The difference is that Death Guard are especially trained in using bolters in this way thus they should be more efficient at this respect (I guess it was somehow reflected in TT rules as well, True Grit rule or something).

Sorry to quote myself (Quothe Quotes Quothe lol) but TB voiced his cynical and British opinion on this trend (towards releasing games in an unfinished state through Early access,) and as a fellow Brit I am honor bound to agree

OFC all MMOs are by their very nature unfinished as they're a work in progress, but having seen numerous 'Early Access' schemes being used to monetise a clearly unfinished MMO through an ingame cash shop (I'm looking at you Firefall! ) I'm still inclined to think that this is of concern, even in this type of game.

thats what i meant. and then what advantage do rubrics have over plagues?

Well they dont smell for one, secondly while the Plagues can indeed heal grievous wounds once they are actually dead they tend to stay dead. Rubics can just get their souls returned into a new suit of armor. I recall that the sorcs summon back the souls of the fallen Rubicks and return them to their armor.

Except for +1 inv save (stronger armour but actually only in terms of heavy weapons fire, makes it possible to survive such a shot) none. They are mindless automatons controlled by a sorcerer - slower, with limited weaponry but a bit more resilient to some heavy weapons fire. Death Guard are equally tough (if not more) and much more versatile, at least according to TT rules.
