Each model can only have one Deadly Pathogen. Named characters cannot be given Deadly Pathogens. Make a note on your army roster each time you give a model a Deadly Pathogen, as well as which of that model’s equipped weapons has been upgraded with it. If you are playing a matched play game, or a game that uses a points limit, then the points value of that model’s unit is also increased by the amount shown on the table below. The Power Rating of that model’s unit is increased by 1. In addition to the effects listed for that Deadly Pathogen (see below), add 1 to the Strength characteristic of that weapon.

BUBONIC ASTARTES models that have the word ‘Champion’ in their profileĮach time you give a model a Deadly Pathogen, select one plague weapon that model is equipped with to upgrade (this cannot be a Grenade weapon or a Relic).If your army is Battle-forged and includes any DEATH GUARD Detachments (excluding Auxiliary Support, Super-heavy Auxiliary and Fortification Network Detachments), then when you are mustering your army, you can upgrade any of the following models in your army by giving them a Deadly Pathogen:
Note, that while similar in many regards to Aura abilities, Contagion abilities are not affected by abilities that affect Aura abilities, and vice-versa. if an enemy unit is within range of two models with the same Contagion ability, that Contagion ability only applies to the enemy unit once).
The effects of multiple, identically named Contagion abilities is not cumulative (i.e. Nurgle’s Gift (Contagion): While an enemy unit is within Contagion Range of this unit (see below), subtract 1 from the Toughness characteristic of models in that enemy unit.Ĭontagion abilities affect enemy models or units within Contagion Range - this changes with the battle round number, increasing as the battle progresses, as shown in the table below. Such is its malefic nature, they can even undo metallic bonds, alien psychic materials and all manner of other elements and components, rendering even armoured vehicles vulnerable.If every unit from your army has the DEATH GUARD keyword (excluding UNALIGNED units), this unit gains the following ability: Whenever they march to war, these diseases spread, contaminating all around, sapping the strength of its victims, draining them of energy, withering their muscles and overwhelming their immune system. The Death Guard are carriers of countless infections and contagions, each a gift from Nurgle. If your army is Battle-forged, you cannot include units from two different plague companies in the same Detachment. You can find more details on the Death Guard plague companies here.Įxample: If you include a Lord of Contagion in your army, and you decide he is from the 3rd Plague Company, Mortarions Anvil, his keyword becomes MORTARION'S ANVIL and his Lord of the Death Guard ability reads ‘While a friendly MORTARION’S ANVIL CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.’ The different plague company keywords you can select from are: When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which plague company it is from and then replace the keyword in every instance on its datasheet with the name of your chosen plague company. With a few exceptions, all DEATH GUARD units are from a plague company. This is a keyword that you can select for yourself, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book, with the guidance detailed below. The majority of datasheets in this section have the keyword.
