Deadly Demise 
Some models have 'Deadly Demise x' listed in their abilities. When such a model is destroyed, roll one D6 before removing it from play (if such a model is a TRANSPORT, roll before any embarked models disembark). On a 6, each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by 'x' (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").
Nurgle's Gift (Aura) 
If your Army Faction is DEATH GUARD, while an enemy unit is within Contagion Range of one or more ^^**Death Guard^^** units from your army, it is Afflicted.

CONTAGION RANGE
1st Battle Round: Contagion Range = 3"
2nd Battle Round: Contagion Range = 6"
3rd Battle Round Onwards: Contagion Range = 9"


**AFFLICTED**


During the Declare Battle Formations step, select one of the Plagues below. Until the end of the battle, while an enemy unit is Afflicted, subtract 1 from the Toughness characteristic of models in that unit, and that unit has the effect of your chosen Plague.


**Skullsquirm Blight**
Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.


**Rattlejoint Ague**
Worsen the Save characteristic of models in this unit by 1.


**Scabrous Soulrot**
Worsen the Move, Leadership and Objective Control characteristics of models in this unit by 1 (this rule can only worsen a model's Objective Control characteristic to a minimum of 1).

Abilities
Putrescent Fog (Aura):

Enemy units that are set up on the battlefield as Reinforcements cannot be set up within 12" of this model.

Diseased Cover:

Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model, if that model is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this Fortification, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack.

Deployment:

Both parts of this Fortification must be deployed within 1" of each other. Both parts are then treated as a single model for all rules purposes.

Fortification:

While an enemy unit is only within Engagement Range of one or more Fortifications from your army:

  • That unit can still be selected as the target of ranged attacks, but each time such an attack is made, unless it is made with a Pistol, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
  • Models in that unit do not need to take Desperate Escape tests due to Falling Back while Battle-shocked, except for those that will move over enemy models when doing so.
