Datasheet-related Stratagems
No plague company boasts a more gruesome array of potions, poisons and unclean fluids than the 7th.
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.
The slain warrior bursts like a fat, pox-laden buboe.
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.
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.
This diseased sorcerer feels the rheumy eye of the Plague God upon him.
- That model knows one additional psychic power from their chosen discipline.
- Once per Psychic phase, you can re-roll one Psychic test taken for that model.
Many lords and champions of the Death Guard have favoured lieutenants within their ranks.
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.
On occasion a contagion of Nurgle will flare up brilliantly in an all-consuming wave of infection.
- 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.
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.
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…
With a thrumming roar, a thick cloud of daemon flies whirls around the Death Guard and obscures them from the enemy’s sight.
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.
- 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.
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.
Like a sickness flaring back to life, these stolid warriors erupt from their dug-in positions to counter attack.
As the foe press forward they are engulfed in a whirling storm of fleshrust flakes that clog lungs and eyes.
Unholy filth gushes from Nurgle’s faithful into their guns until the armaments threaten to burst like bloated corpses.
Psychic Powers
Smite
Smite has a warp charge value of 5. Add 1 to the warp charge value of this psychic power for each other attempt that has been made to manifest this power by a unit from your army in this phase, whether that attempt was successful or not. If manifested, the closest enemy unit within 18" of and visible to the psyker suffers D3 mortal wounds. If the result of the Psychic test was 11 or more, that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds instead.- Warp Charge 5: A Psychic test of 5+ is required to manifest Smite.
- Warp charge increases by 1 for each other attempt to manifest Smite made in this phase.
- If manifested, closest visible enemy unit in 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- If manifested with a Psychic test result of 11+, enemy instead suffers D6 mortal wounds.
Contagion Discipline
| D6 | PSYCHIC POWER |
| 1 | MIASMA OF PESTILENCE As the psyker chants in a phlegm-choked drone, a dark cloud of filth and rot flies shrouds his allies from view. Blessing: Miasma of Pestilence has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly DEATH GUARD unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, each time an attack is made against that unit, subtract 1 from that attacks hit roll. |
| 2 | GIFT OF CONTAGION With a gesture the psyker gathers a foul fog of contagion about his enemies, granting them a blessing from Grandfather Nurgle. Malediction: Gift of Contagion has a warp charge value of 5. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, subtract 1 from the Strength characteristic of models in that unit. If the result of the Psychic test was 8+, subtract 1 from the Strength and Attacks characteristics of models in that unit instead. |
| 3 | PLAGUE WIND The psyker belches forth a wind of plague that blows through his foes, choking them and leaving only diseased, maggot-bloated corpses in its wake. Witchfire: Plague Wind has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one enemy unit within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER. Roll one D6 for each model in that unit. For each 6, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If the result of the Psychic test was 9+, that unit suffers 1 mortal wound for each 5+ instead. |
| 4 | PUTRESCENT VITALITY Rancorous energies surge through Nurgle’s followers, bloating their distended bodies further with fresh infections and granting them new strength. Blessing: Putrescent Vitality has a warp charge value of 7. If manifested, select one friendly DEATH GUARD INFANTRY unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 1 to the Strength and Toughness characteristics of models in that unit. |
| 5 | CURSE OF THE LEPER The victims touched by this enervating curse find themselves weakened and drained of life within moments. Witchfire: Curse of the Leper has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select the closest enemy unit that is within 18" of and visible to this PSYKER. Roll seven D6s: for each dice result that exceeds that enemy unit’s Toughness characteristic, it suffers 1 mortal wound. |
| 6 | GIFT OF PLAGUES Channelling Nurgle’s blessings and power, the psyker enhances the contagions bestowed on the Death Guard of his army. Blessing: Gift of Plagues has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, select one friendly DEATH GUARD unit within 18" of this PSYKER. Until the start of your next Psychic phase, add 6” to the range of any Contagion abilities that unit has (to a maximum of 12"). |
Deadly Pathogens
Acidic Malady
The acids that coat this weapon eat through armour with terrifying ease.
Improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of this weapon by 1.Explosive Outbreak
This pathogen attacks its victim with incredible speed.
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit. This is not cumulative with the Tollkeeper ability.Virulent Fever
When this pathogen finds a victim - either being or machine - it rapidly replicates, causing horrific damage before burning out.
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified wound roll of 6 inflicts 1 mortal wound on the target in addition to any normal damage.Befouling Runoff
The pathogen manifests itself as a viscous liquid with a stench so foul it can make lungs bleed. When it seeps into cover or terrain, the landscape is rendered utterly useless to enemy troops.
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, the target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack.Unstable Sickness
Those affected by this pathogen explode in a shower of deeply infected gore.
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, if any enemy models are destroyed by that attack, roll one D6: on a 4+, that model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound (to a maximum of 3 mortal wounds per turn). The bearer cannot be selected for the Befouled Incubators Stratagem.Revolting toxins and infectious slime weeps from this weapon in a ceaseless stream. Even shallow cuts or glancing blows will leave the enemy’s flesh seething with incurable diseases.
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, re-roll a wound roll of 1.When an INFANTRY model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks if the firing model’s unit has moved for any reason this turn (e.g. it made a Normal Move this turn).
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if firing model is INFANTRY and its unit has moved this turn.
|
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.
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).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.
|
- 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.
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.
The CHAOS keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:

- Engagement Range: 1" horizontally + 5" vertically.
- Models cannot be set up within Engagement Range of enemy models.
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.
| ||||||||||||||
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.
The DEATH GUARD and CHARACTER keywords are used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
- 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.
- Heroic Intervention: Move up to 3".
- Must end closer to the closest enemy model.
Note that CHARACTERS cannot use their Aura Abilities while performing actions.
The BUBONIC ASTARTES keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
This datasheet has HQ Battlefield Role. Full list of Death Guard units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
- FLY models can move over other models when they make a Normal Move, an Advance or when they Fall Back.
- FLY models ignore vertical distances when they make a Normal Move, an Advance or when they Fall Back.
The CHARACTER keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
- 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.
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.
The LORD OF VIRULENCE keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
To manifest the psychic power, you must first pass a Psychic test. The opposing player can then select one of their PSYKER units that is within 24" of the PSYKER unit attempting to manifest the power and attempt to deny that power before its effects are resolved by passing a Deny the Witch test.
So long as the Psychic test was successful and the psychic power was not denied by a successful Deny the Witch test, the psychic power is successfully manifested and its effects, which will be described in the power itself, are then resolved. If the PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest more than one psychic power in its Psychic phase, you can then attempt to manifest those, one at a time, as described above. The number of psychic powers each PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest in its Psychic phase is listed on its datasheet.
- Select psychic power.
- You cannot select the same psychic power more than once per battle round, unless that power is Smite.
- Attempt to manifest the psychic power by taking a Psychic test.
- The opponent can attempt to deny the psychic power by taking a Deny the Witch test.
- If successfully manifested, resolve the psychic power’s effects.
- Select another psychic power.
- Deny the Witch: Passed if 2D6 exceeds result of the opposing PSYKER’s Psychic test.
- Only one attempt can be made to deny each psychic power.
- Psychic test: Passed if 2D6 equals or exceeds psychic power’s warp charge.
- If double 1 or double 6 rolled, PSYKER suffers Perils of the Warp.
- Warp Charge 5: A Psychic test of 5+ is required to manifest Smite.
- Warp charge increases by 1 for each other attempt to manifest Smite made in this phase.
- If manifested, closest visible enemy unit in 18" suffers D3 mortal wounds.
- If manifested with a Psychic test result of 11+, enemy instead suffers D6 mortal wounds.
The PSYKER keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
The DEATH GUARD and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
The POXWALKERS keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
The PLAGUE FOLLOWERS keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
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 TALLYMAN keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
TOLLKEEPER
This device is so saturated with plagues that tallying the slain with it causes unclean outbreaks to erupt amongst their comrades.
TALLYMAN model only. The bearer has the following ability:‘Tollkeeper (Aura): While a friendly CORE unit is within 6" of the bearer, each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit.’
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.
The number of attacks a model makes is determined by its Attacks (A) characteristic, which can be found on its datasheet. For example, if a model has an A of 2, it can make two attacks.
- Number of attacks made by each model that can fight = A.
The MONSTER keyword is used in the following Death Guard datasheets:
Plague spewer used in the following datasheets:
