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.
Objective Secured
A player controls an objective marker if they have any models with this ability within range of that objective marker, even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy model within range of an objective marker also has this ability (or a similar ability), then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of that objective marker as normal.
Malicious Volleys
Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit shooting Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:
• The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
• The shooting model is Infantry and its unit Remained
Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
• The shooting model is a Terminator.
For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon (as defined on page 88) with the Rapid Fire type.
