The Death Guard are the greatest champions of the Plague God, Grandfather Nurgle, his favoured spreaders of his bounteous gifts. Look upon them and see the signs: pus seeping from festering wounds that never heal; miasmic smogs of corrosive, stinking gas hanging thickly in the air wherever Nurgle’s chosen tread; the wriggling, lamprey-mouthed tick-leeches that clamp on to their rotting flesh; the droning billions of plague flies that swarm the battlefields they stalk and the ships in which they course through the stars.

Few armies offer such a rich canvas for painting and modelling as the Death Guard. Every miniature is riddled with gruesome details and grisly flourishes, showing the blessings they have received from Nurgle, and in turn how they will spread the Lord of Decay’s infections. With them you can craft a truly head turning – not to mention stomach turning – force that can terrify your enemies and be disgustingly powerful on the battlefield. This book is the ultimate guide to the Death Guard, featuring in depth lore and background and the rules that you need to field them in Warhammer 40,000.

Inside this book, you’ll find:

– Background on the reunification of Mortarion with the Death Guard during the Great Crusade, his eventual fall into heresy, and the process inflicted upon the Death Guard as Nurgle’s Destroyer Plague took them.
– Information on the organisational structure of the Death Guard following the Horus Heresy and how their cohesion meant they were better able to enact war upon the galaxy.
– Incredible photography of units, single miniatures, and armies on terrain, both on their own and as part of battle scenes.
– Datasheets that cover every unit fieldable by a Death Guard army.
– Death Guard-specific Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Relics, and psychic powers.
– In-depth Crusade rules that let you grow your force as it spreads diseases and plague across the galaxy.
– And more!

Lord of Virulence $35

Tubes and pipes erupt in profusion from the Lord of Virulence’s armour. These gout noxious fumes are putrid eruptions whose hue and stench guide the fire of artillery engines behind the lines. In their wake, their flensefrond cloaks leave a trail of sickening mucosal slime for hungry Daemon Engines to follow.

Lead your Death Guard army with the disgustingly awesome Lord of Virulence. Clad in his mutilated Terminator armour, he is adorned with the signs of symbols of Grandfather Nurgle’s many blessings. Armed with a twin plague spewer and plague claw, he is ready to spread these diseases across the galaxy. Covered in many different textures, the Lord of Virulence makes both an excellent painting project and spearpoint for your next Death Guard invasion.

This 20-piece plastic kit makes one Lord of Virulence. It is supplied with a 50mm Citadel round base.

Miasmic Malignifier $60

Festooned with swaying plague censers and tainted bells, Miasmic Malignifiers belch thick clouds of miasmal fumes from their rusted chimneys. Sown like spores across target worlds, they are parasites that suck filth from the ground and latch themselves on to local infrastructure, polluting the world on every level.

Spread your toxic presence across every world that your army comes to with the Miasmic Malignifiers. Made up of the main chimney and the smaller pox furnace, it’s a great way to bring the blessings/curses (delete as appropriate) of Nurgle to your tabletop. It’s also designed to sit neatly atop the Sector Mechanicus Ferratonic Furnace, making a truly immense engine of corruption.

This 55-piece plastic kit makes one Miasmic Malignifier, a Death Guard-specific piece of terrain for use in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Combat Patrol: Death Guard $140

The Death Guard are the greatest champions of the Plague God, Grandfather Nurgle, his favoured spreaders of his bounteous gifts. Look upon them and see the signs: pus seeping from festering wounds that never heal; miasmic smogs of corrosive, stinking gas hanging thickly in the air wherever Nurgle’s chosen tread; the wriggling, lamprey-mouthed tick-leeches that clamp on to their rotting flesh; the droning billions of plague flies that swarm the battlefields they stalk and the ships in which they course through the stars.

Combat Patrol is the smallest sized game, and this Death Guard force is a great way to start – regardless of whether you want to play an open play game, forge a narrative with a Crusade army, or compete in a matched play mission. If this is the beginning of your first-ever Death Guard army or you’re looking at adding to an existing force, this box is ideal.

This 243-piece plastic kit makes the following models:

– 1x Typhus
– 1x Biologus Putrifier
– 7x Plague Marines
– 30x Pox Walkers

It is supplied with 30 25mm Citadel round bases, 7 32mm Citadel round bases, 1 40mm Citadel round base, and 1 50mm Citadel round base.

Chosen of Mortarion $60

Malignant Plaguecasters are living conduits for the Garden of Nurgle’s miasmas and maladies, while Noxious Blightbringers sow weakness among the enemy as their cursed bell tolls. The Plague Marine Champion drowns hordes of enemies in noxious slime from his plague spewer and cripples enemy vehicles with his blight launcher.

Add three Death Guard heroes to your collection with this kit. Malignant Plaguecasters can lead your army to victory supported by the disgusting diseases that following in the wake of the Noxious Blightbringer. The Plague Marine Champion gives you a great option to differentiate your Plague Marines squads. Each model is suitably blessed by Nurgle, meaning that they’ll fit in perfectly with the rest of your army and provide a really cool painting project.

This 20-piece plastic kit makes one Malignant Plaguecaster, one Noxious Blightbringer, and one Plague Marine Plague Champion. It is supplied with one 40mm Citadel round base and two 32mm Citadel round bases.

Poxwalkers $35

Shambling across the battlefield in reeking hordes, Poxwalkers engulf their enemies in rotting tides of grasping hands, gnashing teeth and squirming tentacles. They are the cursed victims of Nurgle’s plagues, transformed into unliving weapons by the cruel masters of the Death Guard.

In this kit, you’ll find 10 Poxwalkers. Each is uniquely unpleasant, armed with hastily improvised close-combat weapons, or bare teeth and fingernails. The Poxwalkers themselves are ghastly, their pallid faces twisted into sneering grimaces. Mutations, boils and gashes cover their spindly limbs.

This plastic kit comes as 24 components, and is supplied with 10 25mm Round bases. Rules for these miniatures are included in the box.
