The Death Guard are carriers of countless infections and contagions, each a gift from Nurgle.

Example: If you include a Lord of Contagion in your army, and you decide he is from the 3rd Plague Company, Mortarions Anvil, his keyword becomes MORTARION'S ANVIL and his Lord of the Death Guard ability reads ‘While a friendly MORTARION’S ANVIL CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.’ If your army is Battle-forged, you cannot include units from two different plague companies in the same Detachment.

MORTARION’S CHOSEN SONS You can find more details on the Death Guard plague companies here.The different plague company keywords you can select from are: When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which plague company it is from and then replace the keyword in every instance on its datasheet with the name of your chosen plague company. With a few exceptions, all DEATH GUARD units are from a plague company. This is a keyword that you can select for yourself, as described in the Warhammer 40,000 Core Book, with the guidance detailed below. The majority of datasheets in this section have the keyword. Maybe it sounds odd, but combined with the old, clicking, slide-display most of the art is, it kind of makes the whole thing come off like a military briefing (to my civilian and sheltered ass who has never had to sit-through any kind of briefing so.)įinally, on the voice, it must be said, it's kinda sexy.Kill Team: Annual 2022 – Gellerpox Datasheets That deep but not-quite gravelly voice might not normally be 'appropriate' for narrating a documentary, but for narrating one about 80s-silliness Battletech and violence and whatnot.It works. The vids are fun combination of nerdy, detailed lore presentation, dramatic reading (and some actual history and allusions thrown in), silly humor in narrating that lore and in side-bits contributed to by others-the Steiner Scout Squadron perhaps most notably.Īnd I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the voice. But Missiles R Kewl.Īdmittedly, I haven't checked into much beyond the Battletech lore videos (and that new, neato machinima the Black Pants Legion/others in collaboration(?) are spooling up.which I of course forget the name of.), but the lore videos alone have been fun distractions while I'm mindlessly on a treadmill in some cases, or outright feature-events with popcorn and the works a few times when they're longer (as this entry on the Marauder looks like it will be). *Statement not fact-checked for accuracy, presents personal biases of the statement-maker based upon limited experience in the recent Battletech computer game and older MechWarrior titles, combined with absolutely NO experience in the actual tabletop game. We could even make a fun new term for it! MechWarrior Missile Massace, perhaps? That rolls off the tongue pretty easy. The proper solution to battlemech combat is drowning your opponent in missiles before they get in range*.
