Games Workshop will soon release the Codex:  Death Guard supplement for the current edition of Warhammer 40,000, featuring the Chaos Space Marines that fight in Nurgle’s name.  The book will be released on May 10.

Fortified by rot and disease, the Chaos Space Marines of the Death Guard Legion march on under Mortarion’s banner with updated rules and background secrets in this 128-page hardcover book.

Codex:  Death Guard describes the history and alchemical sorcery of this preternaturally tough legion along with a showcase of painted models to inspire collectors and painters plus updated rules for using Death Guard models in the game.  These rules feature 36 Datasheets, a half-dozen new Detachments, and rules for using them in Combat Patrol and Crusade games.  MSRP is $60.00

The new book supports the recently released Poxwrought Vector Battleforce and Death Guard:  Combat Patrol mini kits (see “Five ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Boxed Sets Hit Preorder”).

Alongside the Codex, a set of 44 quick-reference Datasheet Cards, MSRP $35.00, and a set of 16 pearlescent purple Death Guard Dice, MSRP $33.50, will also be on offer.

Warhammer 40,000 continues to be a hot property, sitting atop ICv2’s list of top-sellers for Fall 2024 (see “Top Miniatures Lines – Fall 2024”).
