Datasheet-related Stratagems
SINK THE TEETH IN1CP
Gellerpox Blight – Boarding Actions – Battle Tactic Stratagem
From coiling tendrils and jabbing probosci to whining fleshmetal drills and enfolding lamprey maws, once the Gellerpox Infected latch onto their victims they do not easily relinquish their hold.
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Movement phase, when an enemy unit within Engagement Range of one or more GELLERPOX BLIGHT units from your army is selected to Fall Back. Roll one D6: on a 1-3, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound and cannot Fall Back this turn.
VERMID WHISPERS1CP
Death Guard – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The compound eyes and keening whispers of countless daemonic flies help guide these warriors’ aim.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a DEATH GUARD TERMINATOR unit from your army is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a DEATH GUARD TERMINATOR unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll.
ETERNAL HATRED2CP
Death Guard – Battle Tactic Stratagem
The hatred of the Traitor Legions has burned for millennia.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a BUBONIC ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army is selected to shoot, or in the Fight phase, when a BUBONIC ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attacks wound roll.
ERUPTION OF FILTH1CP
Death Guard – Epic Deed Stratagem
The slain warrior bursts like a fat, pox-laden buboe.
Use this Stratagem in any phase, when a DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model from your army is destroyed instead of using any other rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed (e.g. the Putrid Explosion ability). Before removing that model from play, roll one D6 for each other unit within 3" (excluding NURGLE units): on a 2-5, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 6, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
RELEASE THE TOXINS2CP
Death Guard – Epic Deed Stratagem
The artefacts of the Death Guard are foul objects and weapons, seeped in poisons of countless varieties. To unleash them is to grant the enemy a most horrible death.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model from your army that was equipped with a Relic of Decay at the start of the battle. Roll one D6 for each enemy unit within 7" of that model: on a 2-5, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound; on a 6, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. A model can only be selected for this Stratagem once per battle.
DISEASED EFFLUENTS1CP
Death Guard – Epic Deed Stratagem
The foul liquids coursing through some Death Guard warriors are weapons in themselves. If unleashed, they drench a foe in toxic slime and effluvia that can kill in minutes.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model from your army (excluding DAEMON models) and one enemy unit within Engagement Range of that model. That model suffers 1 mortal wound and you then roll one D6: on a 2+, that enemy unit suffers 2D3 mortal wounds. If that enemy unit has the CHARACTER keyword (excluding VEHICLE units), it suffers D3 mortal wounds instead.
BEFOULED INCUBATORS1CP
Death Guard – Epic Deed Stratagem
Those fighting the Death Guard soon became carriers of disease, even if the plagues do not kill them outright. On occasion their plague boils up inside them, so that when they are struck down, they burst.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model from your army is selected to fight. Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy model is destroyed by an attack made by that model, roll one D6: on a 3+, that enemy model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound after your model has resolved all of its attacks (a maximum of 3 mortal wounds can be inflicted per phase via this Stratagem).
PLAGUE-CHOSEN1CP
Death Guard – Requisition Stratagem
Many lords and champions of the Death Guard have favoured lieutenants within their ranks.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the DEATH GUARD keyword. Select one DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model in your army (excluding named characters) and determine one Warlord Trait for that model (this must be a Warlord Trait they can have); that model is only regarded as your WARLORD for the purposes of that Warlord Trait. Each Warlord Trait in your army must be unique (if randomly generated, re-roll duplicate results), and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Warlord Traits. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).
GIFTS OF DECAY1CP
Death Guard – Requisition Stratagem
Nurgle is a generous god, and through worship and devotion his followers can gain mighty rewards. Those who prove themselves most worthy wield suppurating weapons of unspeakable foulness, or gird themselves in weeping armour of filth.
Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your WARLORD has the DEATH GUARD keyword. Select one DEATH GUARD CHARACTER model from your army and give them one Relic of Decay (this must be a Relic they could have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem twice) or an Onslaught battle (in which case, you can use this Stratagem three times).
FLASH OUTBREAK2CP
Death Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
On occasion a contagion of Nurgle will flare up brilliantly in an all-consuming wave of infection.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase. Select one unit with the Contagions of Nurgle ability from your army:
- If there are any other units from your army on the battlefield that have any Contagion abilities that the selected unit does not have, then until the start of your next Command phase, the selected unit has all of the same Contagion abilities (this is in addition to the ones it already has).
- Until the start of your next Command phase, units from your army count the battle round number as one higher than the current battle round number for the purpose of determining the Contagion range of any Contagion abilities they have.
BREAK THEIR SPIRITS1CP
Death Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Terminators are terrifying foes to face. When Death Guard Terminators slice opponents in half or unleash plague weapons that turn living beings to pools of foetid slush, they shatter the spirits of those who still live and stand against them.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a DEATH GUARD TERMINATOR model from your army destroys a model in an enemy INFANTRY, BEASTS or SWARM unit. Until the end of the turn, subtract 4 from the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit.
CLOUD OF FLIES2CP/4CP
Death Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
With a thrumming roar, a thick cloud of daemon flies whirls around the Death Guard and obscures them from the enemy's sight.
Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase. Select one BUBONIC ASTARTES INFANTRY unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy model shoots, if that unit is not the closest eligible target or within 12" of that model, then until that shooting is resolved, that model cannot target that unit. In addition, until the end of the phase, if the selected unit has the Bodyguard ability, it loses that ability. If the selected unit has the TERMINATOR keyword, this Stratagem costs 4CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP.
BLIGHT BOMBARDMENT2CP/3CP
Death Guard – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Utilising far away artillery, the Death Guard pound an area of the battlefield with flesh-starved blight spores that rampantly spread over any unfortunate enough to be nearby.
Use this Stratagem in your Command phase, if a DEATH GUARD WARLORD from your army is on the battlefield. Select one point on the battlefield and place a marker on that point. At the start of your next Command phase, roll one D6 for each unit within 6" of the centre of that marker, adding 1 if the unit being rolled for is an INFANTRY unit and subtracting 1 if the unit being rolled for is a CHARACTER: on a 2-6, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; on a 7+, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds. The marker is then removed. If your WARLORD has the LORD OF VIRULENCE keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise it costs 3CP. You can only use this Stratagem once.
TOXIC EFFLUVIA1CP
Gellerpox Blight – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
At the urging of dark and disgusting powers, these repulsive beings heave and strain until their bodies expel virulent fluids in a reeking gush. While the effort may rupture some of Nurgle’s servants beyond repair, it also drenches shipboard systems or vital corridor intersections in a foulness that marks them as belonging to the god of plagues. Not that anyone else would want them after this…
Use this Stratagem at the end of your opponent’s turn. Select one objective marker you control, then select one GELLERPOX BLIGHT unit from your army that is within range of that objective marker. That unit suffers 2D3 mortal wounds, and that objective marker remains under your control until the end of the battle, even if there are no models from your army within range of it, unless your opponent controls it at the end of any subsequent phase.
CLOUD OF FLIES1CP
Death Guard – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
With a thrumming roar, a thick cloud of daemon flies whirls around the Death Guard and obscures them from the enemy’s sight.
Use this Stratagem at the start of your opponent’s Shooting phase. Select one BUBONIC ASTARTES unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy model makes a ranged attack at that unit, that unit receives the benefits of cover against that attack even if it is fully visible.
HERALDS OF DESPAIR1CP
Death Guard – Boarding Actions – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Terminators are terrifying foes to face. When Death Guard Terminators slice opponents in half or unleash plague weapons that turn living beings to pools of foetid slush, they shatter the spirits of those who still live and stand against them.
Use this Stratagem in the Fight phase, when a DEATH GUARD TERMINATOR model from your army destroys a model in an enemy unit. Until the end of the turn, subtract 3 from the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit.
CALLOUS DISREGARD2CP
Terminus Est Assault Force – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Even when the hordes at the fore of an assault force have reached the enemy lines, the second wave simply opens fire, caring little for whether their shots hit friend or foe.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select one BUBONIC ASTARTES TERMINUS EST ASSAULT FORCE unit from your army that is eligible to shoot.
- Until the end of the turn, models in that unit can target enemy units within Engagement Range of friendly POXWALKERS or PLAGUE FOLLOWERS units from your army.
- Each time a model in that unit makes an attack against an enemy unit within Engagement Range of a friendly POXWALKERS or PLAGUE FOLLOWERS unit, subtract 1 from the hit roll, and if the hit roll is not successful, that attack scores a hit against that POXWALKERS or PLAGUE FOLLOWERS unit instead.
PESTILENTIAL DROP2CP
Terminus Est Assault Force – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Assault force troops arrive on the battlefield amid billowing clouds of pestilence, diseased Drop Pod exhaust fumes, the leaking effluence of landing crafts and rot blooms expelled directly from their foetid teleportation chambers.
Use this Stratagem in the Reinforcements step of your Movement phases, when you set up a TERMINUS EST ASSAULT FORCE unit from your army on the battlefield using the Outbreak Assault or Teleport Strike ability. Select one Contagion of Nurgle ability that unit has; until the end of the turn, the Contagion Range of that ability is 12" for that unit. This is not cumulative with any other abilities that increase Contagion Range.
RELAPTIC ASSAULT1CP
Mortarion’s Anvil – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
Like a sickness flaring back to life, these stolid warriors erupt from their dug-in positions to counter attack.
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Charge phase, when an enemy unit finishes a charge move. Select any number of MORTARION’S ANVIL units from your army within 3" of that enemy unit. Until the end of the phase, the selected units are eligible to perform Heroic Interventions as if they were CHARACTERS.
FERRIC MIASMA1CP
Inexorable – Strategic Ploy Stratagem
As the foe press forward they are engulfed in a whirling storm of fleshrust flakes that clog lungs and eyes.
Use this Stratagem in your opponent’s Charge phase, when an INEXORABLE unit from your army is selected as a target of a charge. Until the end of the phase, subtract 2 from charge rolls made for any unit that declares a charge against that INEXORABLE unit (to a minimum of 1).
CONTAMINATED ROUNDS1CP/2CP
Death Guard – Boarding Actions – Wargear Stratagem
The Death Guard know countless revolting ways to render their bolt rounds horrifically virulent.
Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a DEATH GUARD unit from your army is selected to shoot. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack with a bolt weapon, you can re-roll the wound roll. If that unit has the TERMINATOR keyword, this Stratagem costs 2CP; otherwise, it costs 1CP.
ASSAULT
Assault weapons fire so rapidly or indiscriminately that they can be shot from the hip as warriors dash forwards into combat.If a unit includes any models equipped with Assault weapons, that unit is still eligible to shoot with in your Shooting phase even if it has Advanced this turn, but you can only resolve attacks using those Assault weapons when you select that unit to shoot with. If a model shoots an Assault weapon in the same turn in which its unit has Advanced, subtract 1 from hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks.
- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit Advanced.
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if the firing model’s unit Advanced.
Select Weapon
When a model makes a close combat attack, it must do so using a melee weapon (i.e. a weapon that has the ‘Melee’ type). The weapons a model is equipped with are described on its datasheet. If a model is not equipped with any melee weapons, or if it cannot make an attack with any of the melee weapons it is equipped with, then that model makes its attacks using a close combat weapon, which has the following profile:
|
If a model has more than one melee weapon, select which it will use before resolving any attacks. If a model has more than one melee weapon and can make several attacks, it can split them between these weapons however you wish – declare which attacks are being made with which weapons before any attacks are resolved. If the selected weapon has more than one profile that you must choose between, you must declare which profile is being used at the same time. Different attacks made with such a weapon can be made using different profiles if you wish.
If your unit is making attacks with more than one melee weapon against a unit, and those weapons have different characteristics profiles, then after you have resolved an attack with one of those weapons you must, if any other weapons with the same characteristics profile are also being used to make attacks against that unit, resolve those attacks before resolving any attacks against the target with a weapon that has a different characteristics profile. Note that all the attacks you have declared are always resolved against the target unit even if, when you come to resolve an individual attack, no models in the target unit remain in range (this can happen because of models being destroyed and removed from the battlefield as the result of resolving other attacks made by the attacking model’s unit first).
- Each close combat attack is made with a melee weapon.
- A model makes attacks using the close combat weapon profile if it has no other melee weapons.
- If a unit attacks with multiple weapons, all attacks made with weapons that have the same profile must be resolved before resolving attacks with the next.
Disgustingly Resilient
Those favoured by Nurgle are inured to pain, their rotting bodies shrugging off all but the most traumatic damage with ease.
Each time an attack is allocated to a model in this unit, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1).Contagions of Nurgle
The Death Guard are carriers of countless infections and contagions, each a gift from Nurgle. Whenever they march to war, these diseases spread, contaminating all around, sapping the strength of its victims, draining them of energy, withering their muscles and overwhelming their immune system. Such is its malefic nature, they can even undo metallic bonds, alien psychic materials and all manner of other elements and components, rendering even armoured vehicles vulnerable.
If every unit from your army has the DEATH GUARD keyword (excluding UNALIGNED units), this unit gains the following ability:Nurgle’s Gift (Contagion): While an enemy unit is within Contagion Range of this unit (see below), subtract 1 from the Toughness characteristic of models in that enemy unit.
Contagion Abilities
Contagion abilities affect enemy models or units within Contagion Range - this changes with the battle round number, increasing as the battle progresses, as shown in the table below. The effects of multiple, identically named Contagion abilities is not cumulative (i.e. if an enemy unit is within range of two models with the same Contagion ability, that Contagion ability only applies to the enemy unit once). Note, that while similar in many regards to Aura abilities, Contagion abilities are not affected by abilities that affect Aura abilities, and vice-versa.
|
Saving Throw
The player commanding the target unit then makes one saving throw by rolling one D6 and modifying the roll by the Armour Penetration (AP) characteristic of the weapon that the attack was made with. For example, if the weapon has an AP of -1, then 1 is subtracted from the saving throw roll. If the result is equal to, or greater than, the Save (Sv) characteristic of the model the attack was allocated to, then the saving throw is successful and the attack sequence ends. If the result is less than the model’s Save characteristic, then the saving throw fails and the model suffers damage. An unmodified roll of 1 always fails.
Invulnerable Saves
Some models have an invulnerable save. Each time an attack is allocated to a model with an invulnerable save, you can choose to use either its normal Save (Sv) characteristic or its invulnerable save, but not both. If a model has more than one invulnerable save, it can only use one of them – choose which it will use. If you use a model’s invulnerable save, it is never modified by a weapon’s Armour Penetration value.- Invulnerable save: Saving throw that is never modified by attacking weapon’s AP.
- A model with an invulnerable save can use it instead of its normal Sv.
Mortal Wounds
Some attacks inflict mortal wounds – these are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury. Each mortal wound inflicts 1 point of damage on the target unit, and they are always applied one at a time. Do not make a wound roll or saving throw (including invulnerable saves) against a mortal wound – just allocate it as you would any other attack and inflict damage to a model in the target unit. Unlike damage inflicted by normal attacks, excess damage from mortal wounds is not lost. Instead, keep allocating damage to another model in the target unit until either all the damage has been allocated or the target unit is destroyed.If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, resolve the normal damage first. If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, but the normal damage is subsequently saved, the target unit still suffers the mortal wounds, as described before. If an ability modifies the damage inflicted by a weapon, and that weapon can inflict mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, the modifier does not apply to any mortal wounds that are inflicted (unless the rule specifically states otherwise).
- Each mortal wound inflicted on a unit causes one model in the unit to lose one wound.
- No saving throws can be made against mortal wounds.
- Mortal wounds inflicted by attacks in addition to normal damage always apply, even if normal damage saved.

Engagement Range
Engagement Range represents the zone of threat that models present to their enemies. While a model is within 1" horizontally and 5" vertically of an enemy model, those models are within Engagement Range of each other. While two enemy models are within Engagement Range of each other, those models’ units are also within Engagement Range of each other. Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.- Engagement Range: 1" horizontally + 5" vertically.
- Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.
Hit Roll
When a model makes an attack, make one hit roll for that attack by rolling one D6. If the result of the hit roll is equal to or greater than the attacking model’s Ballistic Skill (BS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a ranged weapon) or its Weapon Skill (WS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a melee weapon), then that attack scores one hit against the target unit. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends.If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
Wound Roll
Each time an attack scores a hit against a target unit, make a wound roll for that attack by rolling one D6 to see if that attack successfully wounds the target. The result required is determined by comparing the attacking weapon’s Strength (S) characteristic with the target’s Toughness (T) characteristic, as shown on the following table:
| ||||||||||||||
If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 6 always successfully wounds the target, and an unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails. A wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.

Charging with a Unit
Once you have chosen an eligible unit to declare a charge with, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of its charge. The target(s) of this charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. You then make a charge roll for your unit by rolling 2D6. This is the maximum number of inches each model in the charging unit can now be moved if they can make the charge move. To make a charge move, the unit’s charge roll must be sufficient that it is able to end that move in unit coherency and within Engagement Range of every unit that was a target of its charge, without moving within Engagement Range of any enemy units that were not a target of its charge. If this is possible, then the charge is successful and the models in the unit make a charge move so as to fulfil the above conditions. If this is impossible, the charge fails and no models in the charging unit move this phase.- Declare targets of the charge (must be within 12").
- Charge roll = 2D6".
- If insufficient to move charging unit into Engagement Range of all targets, charge fails.
- If charge successful, models make their charge move.
- Cannot make a charge move within Engagement Range of any unit that was not the target of the charge.
Performing a Heroic Intervention
When a unit performs a Heroic Intervention, you can move each model in that unit up to 3" – this is a Heroic Intervention move. Each model in the unit must finish its Heroic Intervention move closer to the closest enemy model. Remember that a unit must finish any type of move in unit coherency.- Heroic Intervention: Move up to 3".
- Must end closer to the closest enemy model.
Characters
Some models have the CHARACTER keyword. These models can make Heroic Interventions in Charge Phase and are not easy targets in the Shooting Phase (see Look out, Sir, rule). If your Warlord has the CHARACTER keyword he may be able to have a Warlord Trait (see Warlord Trait section on model’s faction page).Note that CHARACTERS cannot use their Aura Abilities while performing actions.

Fall Back
When a unit Falls Back, each model in that unit can move a distance in inches equal to or less than the Move (M) characteristic shown on its datasheet, and when doing so you can move it within Engagement Range of enemy models, but it cannot end its move within Engagement Range of any enemy models – if it cannot do this then it cannot Fall Back. A unit cannot declare a charge in the same turn that it Fell Back. A unit cannot shoot or attempt to manifest a psychic power in the same turn that it Fell Back unless it is TITANIC.- Fall Back: Models move up to M".
- Units that Fall Back cannot charge this turn.
- Units that Fall Back cannot shoot or manifest psychic powers this turn unless they are TITANIC.
The Warlord
While mustering your army, you can nominate one model (except a model with the FORTIFICATION keyword) to be your Warlord. That model gains the WARLORD keyword. If this model is a CHARACTER, you can also assign a Warlord Trait to it. Note, that more than one model in your army can have a Warlord Trait (e.g. by using Stratagems), but they are only considered your Warlord for the purpose of that trait.
Objective Markers
In Boarding Actions, objective markers should have a diameter of 40mm. A model is within range of an objective marker if it is within 1" of that objective marker.At the start of the battle, each objective marker on the battlefield is contested, and so is not controlled by either player. Unless otherwise noted, a player will control an objective marker at the end of any phase if they have more models within range of it than their opponent does.

Teleport Strike
Death Guard warships contain rusted, baroque chambers fitted with ancient technologies that can teleport the sons of Mortarion into the very heart of battle.
During deployment, if every model in this unit has this ability, then you can set up this unit in a teleportarium chamber instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, then in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.The TERMINATOR keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
