CODEX: DEATH GUARD

WRITTEN BY: BILL EVERSON, AKA DEATHGOD @ BOLTERANDCHAINSWORD.COM AND DAKKADAKKA.COM

THIS IS BY NO MEANS AN ORIGINAL WORK, AS I BORROW EXTENSIVELY AND HEAVILY FROM VARIOUS GAMES WORKSHOP PUBLICATIONS. THIS IS
BY NO MEANS AN ATTEMPT TO INFRINGE ON GW IPS, AND EVERY RIGHT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT, ETC IS EXPLICITLY THE OWNERSHIP OF GAMES
WORKSHOP. THAT BEING SAID, THIS CODEX WAS A WORK OF LOVE, PLEASE DO NOT ALTER/CHANGE/REPUBLICATE/ETC WITHOUT FIRST TALKING
TO ME ON EITHER BOLTERANDCHAINSWORD.COM OR DAKKADAKKA.COM. THANK YOU

AUTHOR’S FOREWARD (REPRINTED FROM BOLTERANDCHAINSWORD FORUMS, AND YES, I REMOVED ALL THE SMILEYS):
FIRSTLY, I DID MY BEST TO FOLLOW THE METHODOLOGY OF THE NEW CODEX SYSTEM. UNFORTUNATELY, ALL THE NEW-STYLE CODEXES I OWN STILL
HAVE VARIABLE SQUAD SIZES (ORKS, ELDAR, CSM). WHAT I REALLY WANTED, THOUGH, WAS A DARK ANGELS STYLE SQUAD TYPE, I.E. THE SQUAD
IS X POINTS FOR Y MODELS WITHOUT DEVIATION. AND FOR THE ENTRIES THAT COULD HAVE LARGE NUMBERS, YOU CAN BUY ANOTHER Y MODELS
FOR ANOTHER X POINTS. THIS IS ON PURPOSE. THIS IS DEATH GUARD. NOT THE PURGE, OR THE LORDS OF DECAY, OR THE I-DON'T-WANT-
TO-BUY-METAL-MODELS-SO-I-AM-USING-PLASTIC-CSMS-AS-PLAGUE-MARINES MARINES (AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH DOING THAT,
FYI, I'M POKING FUN AT A BUDDY OF MINE, HOPE YOU READ IT DUDE). THE DEATH GUARD ARE NURGLE'S CHOSEN SONS, AND IN ORDER TO HAVE
BECOME THE CHOSEN SONS YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER OVER THE LAST 10,000 YEARS TO ENDEAR YOURSELF TO THE
LORD OF FILTH. SO YOU MUST BE FAVOURED. YOU DON'T GET REWARDED FOR DOING WHAT YOU MUST DO. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WANT TO
LOSE NURGLE'S BLESSING AND TRULY FEEL HOW ASTOUNDINGLY HORRIBLE THAT WONDERFUL CIRCUS OF DISEASE AND PESTILENCE FESTERING
IN YOUR GUT TRULY IS...

SECOND, OBVIOUSLY, NURGLESQUE DEMONS WILL BE INCLUDED. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT BE CUT-AND-PASTE COPIES DIRECTLY FROM
CODEX: DEMONS. OR MAYBE THEY WILL (AUTHOR’S NOTE: TO A GREAT EXTENT THEY WERE). I HAVEN'T REALLY DECIDED.

SECOND, PART B - I AM UNSURE OF WHAT THE POINTS COST OF DEMONS SHOULD BE, OR THE SUMMONING METHOD. OBVIOUSLY, C: DEMONS
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT YOUR OPPONENT GETS, AT MINIMUM, 1 SHOOTING PHASE AT THE DEMONS BEFORE HE HAS TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT
THEM. BY MY FIGURING, I COULD EITHER A) GREATLY INCREASE THE COST OF THE DEMONS (MAYBE+50%...ISH) AND USE THE SUMMONING RULES
FROM C:CSM, OR USE THE POINTS COST IN C: DEMONS AND USE THAT BOOKS SUMMONING, I.E. STANDARD DEEP STRIKE. OPINIONS PLEASE.
(AUTHOR’S NOTE: I WENT WITH THE STANDARD DEEP STRIKE RULES FOR ALL DEMONS, INCLUDING THE GUO. THIS, HOPEFULLY, WILL ALLOW THE
POINTS COST TO STAY AT THE LEVEL OF CODEX: DEMONS AND NOT BE UNBALANCED WHEN BEING FIELDED WITH MARINES.

THIRDLY, I AM NOT TRYING TO RESSURECT C:CSM V3.5. AT ALL. EVER. IT WAS A GOOD BOOK, IN IT'S DAY, BUT SO IS THE NEW BOOK (SHOOSH
YOU DISAGREERS, I CAN HEAR YOU FROM HERE IN PHOENIX, NO NEED TO QUOTE ME AND DISAGREE, WE ALL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL). FURTHER
DOWN THE PROPSED RULES FORUM IS A 'DEX SOMEONE WROTE FOR THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN, AND IT WAS LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF
REDICULOUSLY POWERFUL GEAR, CREATED WEAPONS, NEW PSYCHIC POWERS, ETC. I AM SURE (IN FACT, I GUARANTEE) HE MEANT WELL WITH HIS
LIST, WANTING TO PLAY THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN IN ALL THAT HE SAW THEIR GLORY TO BE. BUT I READ THAT LIST AND STARDED LOOKING FOR
MY FONDU SET, SO I COULD DIP SOME DELICIOUS HOMEMADE SOURDOUGH INTO ALL THAT CHEESE. THIS LIST IS MEANT TO BE AS CLOSE TO WHAT
WE WOULD ACTUALLY BE GIVEN SHOULD A DEATH GUARD CODEX BECOME A REALITY, NOT WHAT I WISH IT COULD BE BASED ON C:CSM
3.5.

FIFTHLY, I WELCOME ALL CRITICISM, CONSTRUCTIVE OR OTHERWISE. IF IT'S CONSTRUCTIVE, I'LL LOOK AT WHAT YOUR SAYING AND AMMEND MY
ENTRIES AS I SEE APPROPRIATE. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A LIVING-STYLE DOCUMENT, AS BETTER IDEAS THAN MINE GET TO ME, I WILL GLADLY
INCLUDE THEM. IF YOUR COMMENTS FALL INTO THE "OTHERWISE" CATEGORY I'LL JUST IGNORE YOU, HOPEFULLY, BUT AT LEAST YOU'LL FEEL
BETTER.
DEATH GUARD HISTORY

DEATH GUARD TACTICS

DEATH GUARD LORDS
BEFORE THE TIME OF THE HERESY, THE DEATH GUARD NUMBERED 7 GREAT COMPANIES. EACH COMPANY HAD A COMMANDER, A
SUPREMELY SKILLED WARRIOR CAPABLE OF GREAT FEATS IN COMBAT AND CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE RESPECT OF THE EMPEROR’S FINEST
WARRIORS. ASIDE FROM MORTARION HIMSELF AND HIS DEATHSHROUD, THESE 7 COMMANDERS WERE THE GREATEST WARRIORS IN THE
LEGION. THEN CAME THE HERESY, MORTARION’S ACQUIESCENCE TO NURGLE, AND THE GIFTING OF THE LEGION WITH THE STATUS OF NURGLE’S
FAVORED WARRIORS. WITH THE DEFEAT OF HORUS AT THE HANDS OF THE EMPEROR THE DEATH GUARD FLED TO THE EYE OF TERROR, ALONG
WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE TRAITOR LEGIONS. THERE, MORTARION TOOK COMMAND OF A DEMON WORLD AND RESHAPED IT IN THE IMAGE OF
HIS HOMEWORLD, BARBARUS, AND WAS ELEVATED TO THE RANKS FO THE STRONGEST DEMON PRINCES. NOW, ANY PLAGUE MARINE WHO HAS
SWORN LOYALTY TO MORTARION MAY RISE TO THE RANK OF A CHAOS LORD AND COMMAND A WARBAND OF HIS FELLOW DEATH GUARD… UNTIL
A STRONGER WARRIOR TAKES HIS PLACE BY FORCE. THE GREATED DEATH GUARD LORDS COMMAND VAST NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUAL
WARBANDS, FORCING OTHER LORDS, SORCERERS AND EVEN MIGHTY DEMON PRINCES TO HIS SERVICE.

DEATH GUARD LORDS ARE POWERFUL WARRIORS WHO COMMAND THE LOYALTY OF OTHER DEATH GUARD CHAOS
MARINESTHROUGH A COMBINATION OF FIDELITY AND FEAR. THEY ARE DISGUSTING MEN, IF MEN THEY CAN STILL BE CALLED. LIKE ALL THE
DEATH GUARD, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT ALL PLAGUE MARINES, THE DEATH GUARD LORDS HAVE BEEN BEQUEATHED WITH NURGLE’S FAVOR.
THEY ARE TREMENDOUSLY RESILIENT, THEIR BODIES ROTTEN AND DECOMPOSING, AND A HOST FOR ALL SORTS OF VIRULENTS AND PLAGUES.
THEY STRIDE ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD, THE STENCH OF ROT AND VAST CLOUDS OF FLIES AND OTHER VERMIN CAST BEFORE THEM. WHERE THEY
STRIKE CORRUPTION FOLLOWS – WOUNDS PUTRIFY, METAL CORRODES, FLESH WASTES AWAY. EVEN MORE TERRIFYING IS THAT THE GREAT
LORDS OF THE DEATH GUARD SEEM NOT TO SUFFER FROM SOME OF THE DEBILITATING EFFECTS OF NURGLE’S GIFTS THAT ARE FELT BY THEIR
BRETHREN. A DEATH GUARD LORD LOSES NO POTENCY IN HIS COMBAT SKILLS. IN FACT, SUCH IS THE GREAT WILL COMMANDED BY THESE
MASTERS OF BATTLE THAT THEIR SKILLS HAVE INCREASED SINCE THE TIME OF THE HERESY, IN SPITE OF NURGLE’S MALIGNANT GIFTS. WHERE A
DEATH GUARD LORD HAS ONCE WALKED, A GREAT WAILING AND STRIFE CAN BE HEARD IN HIS WAKE, IF ANY OF NURGLE’S FOES WERE ALLOWED
TO SURVIVE.

BLIGHT GRENADES: THESE ARE DEFENSIVE GRENADES, WHICH MEANS THAT ENEMY UNITS DO NOT GAIN THEIR BONUS ATTACKS FOR CHARGING
IF THEY ARE ASSAULTING A UNIT WITH BLIGHT GRENADES.

PLAGUEBRINGER: AS MUCH A SYMBOL OF NURGLE’S FAVOR AS A WEAPON OF WAR, A PLAGUEBRINGER IS A POWEFUL DEMONIC WEAPON THAT
SEETHES WITH THE CORRUPTING FORCE OF NURGLE’S WILL. A PLAGUEBRINGER OBEYS THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL RULES:
 A PLAGUEBRINGER REQUIRES 2 HANDS TO USE, AND IS A POWER WEAPON.
 A PLAGUEBRINGER ADDS AN EXTRA D6 ATTACKS IN CLOSE COMBAT. IF A RESULT OF A 1 IS ROLLED, THE BOUND DEMON WITHIN
THE WEAPON REBELS – THE DEATH GUARD LORD MAKES NO ATTACKS THIS ROUND AND SUFFERS ONE WOUND WITH NO ARMOUR
SAVES ALLOWED. THIS ABILITY MUST BE USED EVERY TIME THE DEATH GUARD LORD MAKES ATTACKS
 A MODEL WITH A PLAGUEBRINGER HAS POISONED ATTACKS THAT WOUND ON A 4+ (SEE THE WARHAMMER 40,000 RULEBOOK).

TERMINATOR ARMOR: A MODEL WEARING TERMINATOR ARMOR HAS A 2+ ARMOUR SAVE AND A 5+ INVULNERABLE SAVE. MODELS IN
TERMINATOR ARMOR ARE CAPABLE OF MOVING AND FIRING HEAVY WEAPONS AND MAY ASSAULT AFTER FIRING HEAVY AND RAPID FIRE
WEAPONS. HOWEVER, MODELS IN TERMINATOR ARMOR MAY NOT SWEEPING ADVANCE.

UNITS AND CHARACTERS IN TERMINATOR ARMOR CAN BE TELEPORTED ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD. THEY MAY ALWAYS START THE GAME IN RESERVE
AND ARRIVE USING THE DEEP STRIKE RULES, EVEN IF IT IS NOT A PART OF THE MISSION BEING PLAYED.
DEATH GUARD SORCERORS
THE DEATH GUARD HAVE NEVER BEEN KNOWN FOR THEIR PSYKERS. BEFORE THE HERESY, THEY HAD FEW LIBRARIANS – ALTHOUGH
THOSE THEY TENDED TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY POWERFUL WARRIORS, LIKE FIRST CAPTAIN CALUS TYPHON. AFTER THE HERESY, MORE AND
MORE DEATH GUARD HAVE EMERGED TO SHOW SORCEROUS APTITUDE, THOUGH BY NO MEANS DO THEY HAVE AS MANY SORCERORS AS THEIR
FELLOW TRAITOR LEGIONS. THE SORCERERS OF THE DEATH GUARD ARE PREDISPOSED TO MANIFEST POWERS THAT EPITOMIZE THE GLORY OF
NURGLE. WHERE A THOUSAND SONS SORCERER MIGHT SEND CORRUSCATING ENERGY SURGING FROM HIS OPEN FIST THAT BLASTS APART HIS
ENEMIES, A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WOULD SIMPLY LOCK WILL HIS ENEMY TO BEGIN TO DECOMPOSE BEFORE HIS EYES. MOST IMPORTANTLY,
A DEATH GUARD SORCERER IS MOST SUITED TO SPREADING NURGLE’S ROT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF MORTAL SPACE.

DEATH GUARD SORCERERS, WHILE NOT AS SUPREMELY SKILLED AS A DEATH GUARD LORD, STILL HAS SKILL AND ABILITIES FAR
EXCEEDING THAT OF A NORMAL PLAGUE MARINE. THEY WARBANDS THAT GATHER AROUND A DEATH GUARD SORCERER ARE OFTEN MORE
FANATICAL THAN THOSE WHICH GATHER UNDER A LORD – WHERE A LORD WAGES WAR FOR HIS OWN ENDS, OR UNDER COMMANDS FROM
MORTARION HIMSELF, A SORCERER IS MORE ATTUNED TO NURGLE’S WILL, AND TYPICALLY WAGES WAR TO SATISFY HIS MASTER.

BLIGHT GRENADES: THESE ARE DEFENSIVE GRENADES, WHICH MEANS THAT ENEMY UNITS DO NOT GAIN THEIR BONUS ATTACKS FOR CHARGING
IF THEY ARE ASSAULTING A UNIT WITH BLIGHT GRENADES.

FAMILIAR: A FAMILIAR IS A SMALL BEING – A FORCE OF PSYCHIC ENERGY, A SMALL CREATURE, OR OFTEN A NURGLING – WHO HELPS HIS
MASTER BETTER ATTUNE HIMSELF TO THE TIDES OF THE WARP. A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WITH A FAMILIAR MAY TAKE A SECOND PSYCHIC
POWER AT THE LISTED POINTS COST. ADDITIONALLY, A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WITH A FAMILIAR MAY USE AN ADDITIONAL PSYCHIC POWER,
SO LONG AS ONE OF THE POWERS USED IS NURGLE’S ROT. A FAMILIAR IS ALWAYS ASSUMED TO SHARE THE SAME BASE AS IT’S MASTER. THE
FAMILIAR MAY BE MODELED ON A SECOND BASE FOR AESTHETIC REASONS, BUT DOES NOT AFFECT GAMEPLAY IN ANY WAY.

TERMINATOR ARMOR: A MODEL WEARING TERMINATOR ARMOR HAS A 2+ ARMOUR SAVE AND A 5+ INVULNERABLE SAVE. MODELS IN
TERMINATOR ARMOR ARE CAPABLE OF MOVING AND FIRING HEAVY WEAPONS AND MAY ASSAULT AFTER FIRING HEAVY AND RAPID FIRE

DEATH GUARD DEMON PRINCE
THE ULTIMATE AMBITION OF ANY MEMBER OF THE DEATH GUARD IS TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HIS PRIMARCH AND ACHIEVE
ELEVATION TO DEMONHOOD. A DEATH GUARD LORD OR SORCERER RISKS DEATH, MUTATION AND OTHER UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS OVER
SEVERAL LIFETIMES OF WAR, AND BEING REBORN AS AN IMMORTAL DEMON PRINCE IS NURGLE’S GREATEST REWARD TO HIS MOST TRUSTED
SERVANTS. THE ELEVATION TO DEMON PRINCE IS BLISSFULLY AGONISING, AS BONES ELONGATE AND STRENGTHEN, MUSCLE AND SINEW
STRETCHES AND GROWS TO FAR SURPASS MORTAL CAPABILITIES. THE GIFTS OF NURGLE ARE MANY, AND OBVIOUS ON THE MASSIVE FORM OF A
DEMON PRINCE – INFECTED OPEN WOUNDS AND SORES ABOUND, PUS LEAKS FROM GAPING HOLES IN THE DEMON’S HIDE, AND
CONTAMINATED BONES AND ORGANS ARE PLAINLY VISIBLE IN THE HORRIFIC FORM OF A DEATH GUARD DEMON PRINCE.

THE DEMON PRINCES OF NURGLE ARE THE MOST ATTUNED WARRIORS TO THE WILL OF NURGLE, AND WAGE WAR IN HIS NAME
ACROSS THE MATERIAL REALM. THE MIGHT OF THIS LIVING ICON OF THEIR DEITY DRIVES THE DEATH GUARD TO EVEN GREATER FEATS OF
CORRUPTION AND DEATH, THE WILL TO SPREAD THE BLIGHT AND RUIN OF THEIR MASTER DISSEMINATED TO THE ENTIRE HOST OF DEATH GUARD
THROUGH THEIR DEMONIC COMMANDER

DARKNESS. OTHERS ARE GRANTED COPIES OF THE WINGS OF THE INSECT PESTS WHO CARRY NURGLE’S DISEASES. A DEMON PRINCE WITH
WINGS MOVE IN THE SAME WAY JUMP INFANTRY (SEE THE WARHAMMER 40,000 RULEBOOK). IN ADDITION, MODELS WITH WINGS MAY BE
DROPPED FROM LOW FLYING GUNSHIPS OR TRANSPORTS, AND MAY THEREFOR MAY BE KEPT IN RESERVES AND ARRIVE USING THE RULES FOR
