The Death Guard are the slowest and most resilient army in the game. They advance a short distance each turn, degrade whatever is near them, and refuse to die on schedule. Their games are almost always decided late. Watch the middle rounds: if the Death Guard are still standing on the objectives in the fourth, the opponent has usually run out of time rather than out of damage.
