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.

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.

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.
