Warhammer 40,000 (Tenth Edition): Codex – Death Guard (2024)

Overview

The Death Guard advance amidst rolling smog, spore-thick fumes, and whirling flies. Blessed by the Plague God Nurgle, these mutated warriors are incredibly resilient, their diseased bodies bloated with unclean flesh and melded to the plates of their hulking battle armour. They wield plague-ridden weapons that unleash the grim powers of alchemy, sorcery, and supernatural contagion to wither and ruin their foes.

Codex: Death Guard is a vital book for collectors who enjoy setting the chosen of Nurgle upon an unsuspecting galaxy. This impressive tome is packed with debased artwork, plague-fuelled background material, inspiring photography, and the rules you need to unleash your diseased warriors in games of Warhammer 40,000. You'll find datasheets, Detachments, narrative Crusade rules, and a self-contained Combat patrol section to help you fight tight, tactical games with your collection. This book will allow you to live out your worship of Grandfather Nurgle no matter how you like to collect, paint, and play with your Death Guard.
