Rules (3)

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"

Contagion Range cannot be greater than 12" after modifiers.

**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 a melee 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).

Deep Strike

Each time this unit makes an **ingress move** (20.04), if every model in this unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units, even if that is within your opponent’s deployment zone.

Leader

Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it. Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.

Profiles:

Abilities
Vector of Disease: While this model is leading a unit, melee weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [Sustained Hits 1] and [Lance] abilties.
Unholy Resilience: The first time a model with this ability is destroyed in a battle round, roll one D6 at the end of the phase. On a 2+, set that model back up on the battlefield, as close as possible to where it was destroyed and not within Engagement Range of any enemy units, with 3 wounds remaining. Each model can only be set up in this way once per battle.
Leader: This model can be attached to the following units: Blightlord Terminators Deathshroud Terminators
