Don’t miss the new Deathshroud Terminators 40k rules that were spotted for the Death Guard ahead that are coming in their 2021 codex.
Recently we saw new rules from GW on Warhammer Community for the Miasmic Malignifier and also some changes to current units.
There’s also been a Deathshroud Terminators datasheet spotted around the web! Let’s take a closer look at what we know is coming in the Death Guard Codex!
As you all know by now, the book is being delayed until early next year, but you can still check out all the Death Guard rules previews that we have seen so far at the links below!

- Plague Marines Rules

New Deathshroud Terminators Death Guard 40k Rules SPOTTED!
There was an Ikea style sheet of their rules spotted over on B&C so let’s compare it to his old sheet and see what’s changed.

New Bonuses:
- +1″ Movement (up from 4″, now 5″)
- +1 WS (up from 3+, now 2+)
- -1 Strength (down from 5, now 4)
- +1 Wound (up from 2, now 3)
- +1 Attack (up from 3, now 4, the captain has 5)
- Plaguespurt gauntlet +6″ range (was 6″, now 12″)
- Manreaper now flat 2 Damage (was d3)
What we don’t know:
- Hateful assault? (+1 attack on charge or intervention)
- Cataphractii armour/ Invunerable?
- Teleport strike?
- Plague Weapon trait?
- Bodyguard rules?
- +1 attack for characters within 3″?
Overall, Deathshroud also looks like they are mostly coming out on top. Perhaps with the addition of a flat +1 attack, hateful assault is getting removed. Either way, that’s an outright buff.
Buffed across their whole stat sheet means if they don’t lose their bodyguard rules (wound soak for characters), the Morty-Deathshroud combos will still be great, and if not, they are better in their own right.
Look for the Death Guard codex to hit store shelves in early 2021, it was delayed, but it’s still not too far out!
