About Death Guard
Nurgle's chosen: plague, endurance, and slow inevitability.
The Death Guard are Traitor Legionnaires remade by Nurgle. They advance through toxin and disease that would break other armies. Mortarion's sons trade speed for resilience and horror.
Combat Patrol and Plague Marine kits are high-velocity. Battleforces and named characters spike around releases. Used lots often hide missing blight weapons; verify photos.
