Don’t miss the breakdown of all 14 new Death Guard codex Stratagems that will be available in the new book. How will you use you command points?
Today we’re getting a preview look at the Stratagems that will be available in the new Codex: Death Guard. With a total fourteen Stratagems for you to choose from, many of which we’ve seen before, you won’t have any problem spending those command points. But for now, let’s focus on the six stratagems we haven’t seen yet.
The Dead Walk Again is 1CP and reads: Use this Stratagem at the beginning of your Movement phase. Select a unit of Poxwalkers. Until the start of your next Movement phase, replace that unit’s Curse of the Walking Pox ability with the following: ‘Each time an Infantry model (other than a Poxwalker), friend or foe, is slain within 7″ of this unit, add one model to the unit.
Blight Bombardment is 1CP and reads: You can use this Stratagem just before a friendly Death Guard unit shoots or fires Overwatch; when resolving that unit’s shots, every model in the unit that is equipped with a blight grenade can throw one, instead of only one model in the entire unit being able to do so.
Plague Pact also costs 1CP and reads: Use this Stratagem when a Death Guard Character attempts to summon a unit of Nurgle Daemons using a Daemonic Ritual. You can roll up to 4 dice rather than 3 for the summoning roll, and your character will suffer any mortal wounds for rolling doubles or triples.
The new Stratagems coming out of the Death Guard Codex open up a lot of options for Death Guard players. The Death Guard are looking even more deadly with every update we get, and we’re far from done. The other eight stratagems that will be included in the new codex are:
