Spread the blessings of decay across the galaxy with the Death Guard Battleforce: Plaguefester Warband for Warhammer 40,000. Devoted to the foul generosity of Nurgle, the Death Guard march to war as an unstoppable tide of corrosion, disease, and relentless endurance.

This battleforce box gathers together a powerful and thematic collection of Death Guard miniatures, making it an excellent foundation for a new army or a strong expansion for an existing Chaos force.

A Relentless Host of Decay

The Plaguefester Warband is designed to embody the slow, unstoppable advance that defines the Death Guard. Elite Deathshroud Terminators and a powerful Lord of Virulence lead the charge, while Plague Marines provide durable firepower and objective control. The Foetid Bloat-drone adds speed and devastating weaponry, while shambling Poxwalkers swell the ranks with diseased bodies that overwhelm enemy positions.

Together, these units form a balanced and thematic force capable of grinding down enemies through resilience, attrition, and devastating close-range attacks.
