Plague Legion

Detachment Rules

Melancholic Miasma

Enhancements

Cankerblight (Aura)

15 pts

The mere presence of this corrosive monstrosity is enough to rot the very stuff of reality and all who inhabit it.

  • LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE* model only. Each time an enemy unit (excluding MONSTERS and VEHICLES) that is within 6" of the bearer fails a Battle‑shock test, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, one model in that unit is destroyed (chosen by its controlling player). Each time the bearer uses this Enhancement, no mortal wounds are inflicted by your army’s Daemonic Terror rule.

Maggot Maws

15 pts

This daemon’s flesh is pocked with foul mouths that mumble curses to rot the minds of all who hear them.

  • LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE* model only. In your Shooting phase, select one enemy unit within 6" of the bearer; that enemy unit must take a Battle‑shock test. Then roll one D6: on a 3+, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds. Each time the bearer uses this Enhancement, no mortal wounds are inflicted by your army’s Daemonic Terror rule.

Droning Shroud (Aura)

35 pts

This sentient cowl of daemonic plague flies roars and whirls with cyclonic force, obscuring even the most hulking and bloated daemonic bearer.

  • LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE MONSTER* model only. While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit is within 6" of the bearer, that unit can only be targeted by a ranged attack if the attacking model is within 18".

Font of Spores (Aura)

20 pts

This entity’s foul breath expels clouds of rust pox spores, which gnaw into all they settle upon.

  • LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE MONSTER* model only. While a friendly LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit is within 6" of the bearer, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of weapons equipped by models in that unit by 1.

Stratagems

eitherPlayer

Seeping Virulence

1 CP
Fight

Repugnant filth wells from the weapons, gaping maws and open wounds of these daemons, slopping across the foe and causing swift and virulent rot wherever it finds the slightest way in.

When:

Fight phase.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit from your army that has not been selected to fight this phase.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ scores a Critical Hit.

Fever Visions

1 CP
ShootingFight

A plague of waking nightmares races through the enemy ranks, leaving foes reeling in the grip of nauseating visions that curdle into soul-destroying reality.

When:

Your Shooting phase or the Fight phase.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot or fight this phase.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack, add 1 to the Hit roll. After your unit has finished making its attacks, select one enemy unit hit by one or more of those attacks; that enemy unit must take a Battle‑shock test.

Your Turn

Foetid Resurgence

2 CP
Command

As the power of the Plague God saturates the battlefield, fresh daemonic life blooms from the septic corpse mulch that bubbles underfoot.

When:

Your Command phase.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit from your army that is on the battlefield.

Effect:

Return up to 1 destroyed model to your unit, or up to D3 destroyed models instead if your unit is a BATTLELINE unit, with their full wounds remaining. If it is a MONSTER unit, one model in your unit regains up to D3+1 lost wounds instead.

Rot and Renewal

1 CP

Rather than lumber across the battlefield, these daemons rot away to nothing before hatching anew from canker blooms wherever they wish to be.

When:

Your Movement phase or your Charge phase.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit from your army.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes a move, it can move through terrain features.

Murkshadows

1 CP
Movement

With the battlefield swathed in an occluding miasma of unreality, Nurgle’s daemons may loom out of the haze, solidify from amidst thrumming fly clouds or even rise out of the filth without warning.

When:

Your Movement phase.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE INFANTRY unit from your army.

Effect:

Until the end of the phase, each time your unit makes a Normal move, add 5" to the Move characteristic of models in your unit.

Opponent's Turn

Plague of Woes

1 CP
Command

Even as one band of foes gives in to despair, their sorrows spread like a virus to the minds and souls of others, the enemy’s woes multiplying by the moment.

When:

Your opponent’s Command phase, before selecting any targets for the Melancholic Miasma Detachment rule.

Target:

One LEGIONES DAEMONICA NURGLE unit from your army.

Effect:
