Death Guard – The Embodiment of Corruption in the Service of Nurgle
Death Guard are among the most terrifying and relentless warriors within the ranks of the Chaos Space Marines. Bearers of countless diseases and plagues, they embody the corrupted power of their patron, Nurgle – the god of decay, pestilence, and renewal through rot. When the Death Guard march into battle, they spread diseases that wither both flesh and environment. Their vile gifts infect immune systems, weakening even the toughest opponents. But their corruption runs deeper – it taints metals, vehicles, and structures, corrupting even the toughest elements of enemy technology.

Death Guard – The Plague of the Universe
Once loyal Space Marines, the Death Guard were corrupted by Nurgle and transformed into terrifying beings teeming with plagues and filth. Their bodies are twisted by the diseases generously bestowed upon them by Nurgle, and every step they take brings death and destruction. Faithful to their patron, they strive to spread Nurgle’s “gifts” wherever they go. Each Death Guard assault delivers not only physical destruction but also poisons the environment and spreads a plague capable of wiping out entire worlds.
Each Death Guard legionary is effectively immortal. Thanks to Nurgle’s gifts, their bodies are nearly indestructible, resistant to pain, and extremely difficult to defeat. Corrupted, their armor and weapons are suffused with rot, surrounded by a dark aura of decay. Wherever they tread, landscapes are transformed into blasted, lifeless wastelands, and the very ground rots beneath their feet, mutating into repulsive “gardens of Nurgle.”
Death Guard Rot – Nurgle’s Power in Every Step
The armies of Death Guard spread corruption not only in battlefields but also in every place they appear. For the Death Guard, every war is an opportunity to scatter Nurgle’s gifts, and their corruption affects not just their enemies’ bodies but everything within their reach. The rot they propagate even influences psychic materials, impenetrable technologies, and the most advanced vehicles, corrupting all that stands in their way. No matter how advanced the enemy’s defenses, the Death Guard and their corrupted plagues can break them down and destroy them.
- Diseases and plagues – They carry countless diseases generously granted by Nurgle. Each of these diseases is designed not only to devastate the body but also to corrupt the minds and souls of their enemies.
- Indestructibility – Death Guard warriors are nearly immortal, resistant to pain, and hard to stop. Even the most powerful attacks cannot halt their relentless, slow march of destruction.
- Decay of technology – Death Guard rot affects not only living beings. They corrupt everything they touch, including machines, vehicles, and structures. Even the toughest technologies fall victim to their influence.
- Garden of Nurgle – Wherever the Death Guard march, the soil rots and the environment transforms into a repulsive garden of Nurgle, full of plague, decay, and death.
Death Guard – Legions of Decay and Destruction
The Death Guard are an army without mercy. Their corrupted bodies symbolize total devotion to Nurgle, and their mission is to spread decay and annihilation throughout the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy. For the Death Guard, war is not only an act of physical destruction but also spiritual and environmental decay. When their foul banners wave on battlefields, it is certain that Nurgle’s corruption is spreading, and any world that opposes it will not escape its inevitable fate – total decay.
Enter the world of the Death Guard and join the endless campaign of destruction aimed at transforming the entire galaxy into a corrupted garden of Nurgle, where everything will rot beneath his almighty touch.
