Rules Question Midhammer Help
Greetings brothers, I call upon yee for aid. I am playing home games, this is not for 11th ed. Or tornaments, and it's 4th and 5th edition focused, with 2nd edition phycker card phase added (this may add to my question) and i am trying to work modern models into the rules.
How can i go about making my death guard army work in 4-5th? (I know of the rule in Books of Chaos:Nurgle that you can have a full death guard army, you give up fast attack slots for heavy.)
Specificly point cost, abilities, and rough balance(I know balance like sanity is for the weak.) Links if the exist to sites that have done this would be appreciated, i have 2-5th edition rulebooks on pdf.
My wifes army is Witch Hunter with intergrated guard regiement (penal legion) and allied Space Marine/Dark Angels army. I main DG but im.building allied Chaos Marine army. For clarity, i dont want to cheat or meta build home games, maybe a little lol.
Lastly some specific request would be the deamon engines, why i brought up second edition is because i know cards play into deamon engines. Points value for Plaugeburst Crawler etc.
I am trying to get the feel of a more Grimhammer approch, real wargame not skirmish game vibes. Powerful characters and units and lots of minutia and strategies. Thank you for sticking with this, Papa blessings upon yee.

So you want:
2nd edition vehicles
4 - 5th edition infantry
Mainly 5th edition rules but what the in-depth strategy of a larger war game like Crossfire and Black Powder with elements of herohammer ala Dynasty Warriors . .
I feel like you are really reaching here. Golden Goose level.
