The Death Guard advance amid a swirling cloud, dense as spore smoke and buzzing flies. Blessed by the Plague God Nurgle, these mutated warriors are incredibly resilient, with their diseased bodies swollen with unclean flesh and encased in the plates of their massive battle armor. They wield plague-ridden weapons that unleash the grim forces of alchemy, magic, and supernatural contagion to wither and destroy their enemies.

The Codex: Death Guard is an essential book for collectors who enjoy deploying Nurgle's chosen in an unsuspecting galaxy. This impressive tome is packed with decayed artwork, plague-ridden background material, inspiring photography, and the rules you need to unleash your diseased warriors in games of Warhammer 40,000.

Within this 128-page hardback book, you will find:

• Repulsive background for these bile-drenched warriors, including their history and current destructive activities
• Epic art and photography that will inspire you to spread the blessings of Nurgle
• Rules for using the Death Guard and Nurgle's daemons in games of Warhammer 40,000, with 36 data sheets, six Detachments, and two army-wide rules
