CODEX: DEATH GUARD

"Decay is not the end. Decay is transformation."

The Death Guard — once noble sons of Mortarion, now the festering instruments of Nurgle's will — march across the galaxy as an unstoppable plague tide. Codex: Death Guard is your ultimate guide to commanding these horrific, disease-ridden warriors in the dark millennia of Warhammer 40,000.

This lavishly illustrated hardback codex contains everything you need to wage war in Nurgle's name. Whether you are a disciple of filth seeking to lead inexorable legions of Plague Marines, corrupted Daemon Engines, or the unkillable Deathshroud Terminators, this book will immerse you in the rotted heart of the XIV Legion.

Inside This Codex:

• Rich Lore and Artwork:
  Explore the tragic fall of the Death Guard, from the toxic mists of Barbarus to their damnation during the Horus Heresy. Delve into Mortarion’s eternal hatred of weakness — and how Nurgle twisted it to create his perfect instruments of decay. Discover how the Death Guard wage war today across a dying galaxy, spreading plagues and corruption to every corner of the Imperium and beyond.

• Army Rules and Datasheets:
  Build your forces with detailed datasheets for the Death Guard’s relentless units — from shambling Poxwalkers to towering Foetid Bloat-Drones, corrupted Land Raiders, and Mortarion himself, the Daemon Primarch of the XIV Legion.

• Army Abilities and Plague Companies:
  Customize your army with new army-wide abilities like Contagions of Nurgle, crippling enemy forces as your plagues spread throughout the battle. Choose a Plague Company — like the Ferrymen, Harbingers, or Mortarion’s Anvil — each granting unique warlord traits, relics, and strategic depth to your force.

• Strategems, Relics, and Warlord Traits:
  Equip your champions of rot with relics like the Plague Skull of Glothila, and unleash tactical ploys crafted for disease and despair. Spread corruption with stratagems that allow you to maximize your resilience, punish enemy psykers, and dominate objectives through sheer attrition.

• Crusade Rules for Plague Armies:
  Forge a Crusade force that mutates and festers over time. Gain foul blessings from Nurgle as your victories pile up — but beware, as not all "gifts" are blessings in the eyes of mortals.

Death is not to be feared. Death is to be embraced. Death... is only the beginning.
