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 LORDSBEFORE 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

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 SORCERORSTHE 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.

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.

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

ETERNAL WARRIOR: HAVING BEEN ELEVATED BY THE CHAOS GODS, A DEMON PRINCE HAS LITTLE TO FEAR FROM MORTAL WEAPONS. A DEMON PRINCE IS IMMUNE TO THE INSTANT DEATH RULE.

WINGS: MANY DEMON PRINCES ARE GIFTED WITH GREAT LEATHERY WINGS WHICH SPREAD BEHIND THEM LIKE AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING 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 DEEP STRIKE (SEE THE MISSION SPECIAL RULES IN THE WARHAMMER 40,000 RULEBOOK).
