Detachment Rule
Verminous Haze
A cloud of winged insects descends over Mortarion’s pathogenic sons, obscuring their malodorous ranks and shielding them from the eyes and augurs of the enemy. Beneath thrumming storms of fat-bodied flies, Plague Marines stride towards their wavering foes until they are close enough to unleash punishing volleys of killing fire.
Death Guard Infantry units (excluding Poxwalkers units) from your army that are not embarked within a Transport have the Scouts 5" and Stealth abilities.
