Opis
The Death Guard are the greatest champions of the Plague God, Grandfather
Nurgle, his favoured spreaders of his bounteous gifts. Look upon them and see
the signs: pus seeping from festering wounds that never heal; miasmic smogs of
corrosive, stinking gas hanging thickly in the air wherever Nurgle’s chosen
tread; the wriggling, lamprey-mouthed tick-leeches that clamp on to their
rotting flesh; the droning billions of plague flies that swarm the battlefields
they stalk and the ships in which they course through the stars.
Few
armies offer such a rich canvas for painting and modelling as the Death Guard.
Every miniature is riddled with gruesome details and grisly flourishes, showing
the blessings they have received from Nurgle, and in turn how they will spread
the Lord of Decay’s infections. With them you can craft a truly head turning –
not to mention stomach turning – force that can terrify your enemies and be
disgustingly powerful on the battlefield. This book is the ultimate guide to
the Death Guard, featuring in depth lore and background and the rules that you
need to field them in Warhammer 40,000.
Inside this book, you’ll
find:
– Background on the reunification of Mortarion with the
Death Guard during the Great Crusade, his eventual fall into heresy, and the
process inflicted upon the Death Guard as Nurgle’s Destroyer Plague took
them.
– Information on the organisational structure of the Death Guard
following the Horus Heresy and how their cohesion meant they were better able
to enact war upon the galaxy.
– Incredible photography of units, single
miniatures, and armies on terrain, both on their own and as part of battle
scenes.
– Datasheets that cover every unit fieldable by a Death Guard
army.
– Death Guard-specific Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Relics, and psychic
powers.
– In-depth Crusade rules that let you grow your force as it spreads
diseases and plague across the galaxy.
– And more!
