Opis
The Death Guard are the Traitor Legion most favoured by Nurgle. Utterly
devoted to spreading the Plague God’s hideous diseases across realspace, they
are living plague vectors whose bloated bodies and rusted war engines boast
grotesque resilience and firepower. They are a walking pestilence, a living
plague of destruction and horror. Their heavy tread heralds the end of hope, and
the damnation of all who oppose them. Their touch withers all, and spreads
seething corruption that swallows worlds. They are the sons of Mortarion, the
chosen of Nurgle; fear them , and despair.
Codex: Death Guard contains a
wealth of background and rules – the definitive book for Death Guard
collectors. Within this 104-page hardback, you’ll
find:
Background

detailed history of the Death Guard’s descent into absolute filth and
corruption, driven into a grotesque damnation by the cold ambition of Mortarion,

Fleets;

coherent Legion, for all the rot and bloat, with 7 Plague Companies at the
head of a vast and diverse force;

the Death Guard’s ten-thousand-year war of sickness waged against the servants
of the false Emperor, with an annotated map showing key war zones;
