Astartes: Space marines are genetically augmented humans forged for only one purpose: war. During each friendly Pox Spreader Heretic Astartes operative’s activation, it can perform either two shoot actions or two fight actions. If its two shoot actions, a boltgun weapon must be selected for at least one of them. Each friendly Pox Spreader Heretic Astartes operative can counteract regardless of its order.

Disgustingly Resilient: The bloated bodies of the bubonic astartes are capable of shrugging off hits that would bring down other astartes, and the shambling corpses of the poxwalkers fight on regardless of the damage its carcass has suffered. Whenever an attack dice inflicts 3 or more damage to a friendly Pox Spreader operative, roll a d6: on a 4+, subtract 1 from the damage suffered.

Walking Contagions *The bodies and weapons of the Death Guard are purpose built for the concoction and incubation of disease; whether these gifts are given through a well placed bolter shell or a brutal swing, these malignant poxes spread through the enemy forces like fire. * Each time a Pox Spreader operative attacks an operative, if any critical successes were resolved, that operative gains an Infection token. At the start of each Turning Point, for each enemy operative without an Infection token that is within 3” of an operative with an Infection token, roll one d6: on a 3+, that enemy operative gains an Infection token.
