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).
Firing Deck Some **^^Transport^^** models have ‘Firing Deck x’ listed in their abilities. Each time such a model is selected to shoot in the Shooting phase, you can select up to ‘x’ models embarked within it whose units have not already shot this phase. Then, for each of those embarked models, you can select one ranged weapon that embarked model is equipped with (excluding weapons with the **[ONE SHOT]** ability). Until that **^^Transport^^** model has resolved all of its attacks, it counts as being equipped with all of the weapons you selected in this way, in addition to its other weapons. Until the end of the phase, those selected models’ units are not eligible to shoot.
