Detachment Rule
Worldblight
As the foul tendrils of the Death Guard quest further across the battlefield, they infest even the most secure, holy and heavily warded sites with supernatural disease. To fight amidst such foulness is a virtual death sentence to the foe, win or lose.
If you control an objective marker at the end of your Command phase and a Death Guard unit from your army (excluding Battle-shocked units) is within range of that objective marker, that objective marker remains under your control until your opponent’s Level of Control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of a phase. In addition, until you lose control of that objective marker, it has the Nurgle’s Gift ability as if it were a DEATH GUARD model from your army.
