The Death Guard advance amidst rolling smog, spore-thick fumes, and whirling flies.

This impressive tome is packed with debased artwork, plague-fuelled background material, inspiring photography, and the rules you need to unleash your diseased warriors in games of Warhammer 40,000. You'll find datasheets, Detachments, narrative Crusade rules, and a self-contained Combat patrol section to help you fight tight, tactical games with your collection. This book will allow you to live out your worship of Grandfather Nurgle no matter how you like to collect, paint, and play with your Death Guard.
