Rules (2)

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.

Profiles:

Abilities
Master of Destruction (Aura): While a friendly CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack with a Plague Weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
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).
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.
Diseased Terminator Armour: Models in this unit have a 4+ invulnerable save.
Lord of the Death Guard (Aura): While a friendly 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.
