Contagions of Nurgle

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 unit.

Inexorable Advance

- This unit counts as having Remained Stationary if it did not Fall Back or Advance in your previous Movement phase.
- If this unit has the VEHICLE keyword, it does not suffer the penalty incurred to its hit rolls for firing Heavy weapons at enemy units that are within Engagement Range of it.
- If this unit has the INFANTRY keyword, it can ignore any or all modifiers to its Move characteristic, Advance rolls and charge rolls.

Abilities
Diseased Terminator Armour
Models in this unit have a 4+ invulnerable save.
Disgustingly Resilient
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).
Herald of Nurgle
This model can be included in any Death Guard Detachment, even though you cannot normally include units from two different plague companies in the same Detachment, without preventing other units in that Detachment from carrying a Plague Company Contagion. This model can only carry a Plague Company Contagion if it is in a Harbingers Detachment.
Host of the Destroyer Hive
In your Command phase, you can select one enemy unit within 6" of this model and roll a D6; on a 2+, that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.
Lord of the Death Guard (Aura)
While a friendly DEATH GUARD CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.
Master of the Dead Who Walk (Aura)
While a friendly POXWALKERS unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that attack.
Teleport Strike
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.
Vector of Disease
Add 3" to the Contagion range of all Contagion abilities this model has (to a maximum of 12").
