Continuing from the Codex releases that followed the launch of Indomitus and the 9th edition of Warhammer 40,000 it is now Chaos’ time to get their attention, and this starts with one of the armies who got their previous Codex back at the launch of the 8th Edition, the Death Guard.

Codex Death Guard is a 95 page supplement that contains everything you need to command your own Plague Company and lead them to victory on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium. If you haven’t picked up a Codex before, it essentially contains lore information about the army sharing their history, organization and leaders along with the rules for using units in both Matched Play and in the Crusades. The presentation is superb, retaining the same style and layout as the previous 9th Edition Codexes with the content divided into color codex sections for easy reference. The artwork is as great as ever with some brilliant pieces like the beautiful cover art showing Mortarion and the Death Guard taking on the Ultramarines and even classic artwork returning like the original The Lost And The Damned who makes an appearance!
Like the previous Codexs we also get a miniatures showcase showing the whole range, but also a look at Tom Moore’s Crusader army of the Army Painter team painted in their classic Horus Heresy scheme . I really like these inclusions of a “real” army in addition to the Heavy Metal images as it gives you more inspiration and ideas for creating your own force!
Keeping in line with other recent Codex releases, we also have a really clear and concise reference section that contains the points in a much easier to digest format than in the 8th Edition books , and a full quick reference glossary and rules appendix that makes it really handy to look up. up rules in the middle of the game.
The Death Guard sees many changes in this new Codex, with a number of new keywords created to handle these rules.
Newer Codex Lacks Content
Plague Marines and Poxwalkers (but interestingly not cultists) have Objective secured, which allays fears that Poxwalkers might not have it (and makes them really good for camping purposes, especially with their cut points!) . However we see some new army construction rules in which you can have no more Poxwalker units than Bubonic Astartes Core Infantry, and also no more cultist units than Bubonic Astartes. This may mean that some people may need to speed up their army in order to have the required number of Astartes units to unlock them. This is an interesting change and I wonder if we will see any other actions like this in other codex to restrict cheap units that are often picked to fill detachments.
In a similar but slightly more controversial move, Infernal Jealousy now means you can only take one Death Lord per detachment – this is a massive list: Death Guard Daemon Prince, Typhus, Death Guard Chaos Lord, Death Guard Chaos Lord in Terminator armor, Lord of Virulence and Lord of Contagion. If you want to take multiple options from this list then you will have to spend those command points and take multiple detachments! While we saw something similar with Space Marine Captains, they have a lot more HQ options with lieutenants who don’t have that restriction.
If you are a fan of Elite Characters however you are in for a lucky spot with Foetid Virion, as now 3 can be taken for an Elite slot in a similar way to the Necron Crypteks, giving you more room to have more fun stuff!
Death to the False Emperor is also gone! Yes, everyone forgot this rule in the heat of battle, but it was a good source of extra attacks, thankfully many units were instead given extra attacks across the board.

Inexorable Advance means you count as standing if you haven’t fallen back or advanced – in addition Infantry are immune to Move, Advance and Charge modifiers which make anti-charge defenses useless against them, and vehicles don’t suffer the -1 to fire heavy weapons in the engagement range!
The Death Guard also still get the Space Marine equivalent bolter rules which allow them to gain the benefits of rapid fire at mid-range, if they stand still or if they are a terminator. Additionally the Remorseless rule lets them ignore Combat Attrition modifiers.
Disgustingly Resilient had a big change as it now reduces attack damage rather than being a 5+ wound shrug – this makes you much more susceptible to Damage 1 weapons, but is actually a net improvement against 2 shot damage. I have a feeling this will also be folded into the Nurgle Daemon rules, which will be interesting to see as Plague Bearers currently don’t get a benefit from it.
Contagions of Nurgle is a new ability held by the majority of the army that gives an aura of -1 Toughness – this aura increases in range as the game goes on until Turn 4 it gives most of your army 9″ -1 T aura, which is pretty brutal! Your War also gets an additional aura of its own based on which Plague Company you choose. It is worth noting that you must take a Plague Company when building your army (Although in theory different detachments can have different companies) Each of these companies gives you access to a unique stratagem, a new contagion for the Kuldan of Your War (This replaces their War Kuldan). feature though, so you’ll have to weigh the benefits!) and an optional relic – here are the available Plague Companies:

These are the First Company represented by hordes of poxwalkers, and their strat allows a unit of poxwalkers to reroll all hits, which is pretty good! The Warlord feature
