Warhammer 40,000: Death Guard – Council of the Death Lord

Spread decay and relentless resilience across the battlefield with the Council of the Death Lord battleforce for Warhammer 40,000. This thematic collection brings together a powerful group of units from the plague-ridden ranks of the Death Guard, the corrupted legion devoted to the Chaos God Nurgle.

Centered around one of the most feared champions of Chaos, Typhus, this battleforce delivers a durable and aggressive force that embodies the slow, unstoppable advance of the Death Guard. With elite infantry, plague-infested warriors, and swarming daemonic allies, the Council of the Death Lord provides a strong core for collectors and players who want to command the diseased legions of the warp.

Models Included in the Box

This battleforce contains multipart plastic miniatures for building the following models:

• Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard
• 14 Plague Marines
• 5 Blightlord Terminators

All miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Appropriate bases are included.

A Force of Relentless Corruption

The Council of the Death Lord offers a balanced and thematic army detachment designed to grind down opponents through resilience and attrition. Typhus commands the force with terrifying psychic abilities and devastating melee power, while Plague Marines and Blightlord Terminators advance as near-unstoppable infantry.

The Foetid Bloat-drone adds speed and firepower, hovering across the battlefield to harass enemy lines. Meanwhile, the shambling masses of Poxwalkers overwhelm objectives and tie down opposing units, embodying the relentless spread of Nurgle’s corruption.

Together, these models create a cohesive Death Guard force capable of holding ground, absorbing punishment, and steadily eroding enemy defenses.
