Codex: Gellerpox Infected (2018), p18 — Stratagems

If your army is Battle-forged and includes Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed, you have access to the Stratagems shown below, meaning you can spend Command Points to activate them. These help to reflect the unique tactics and strategies used by the Gellerpox Infected on the battlefield.

1CP — Mutoid Infestation

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

Notoriously difficult to fully eradicate, these loathsome parasites keep coming back.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Choose a unit of Mutoid Vermin from your army that has been destroyed. Set up this unit anywhere wholly within 12" of a friendly Gellerpox Infected unit and more than 9" from any enemy models.

1CP — Fiery Demise

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

With a swollen belly packed with explosive and contaminated fuel, Vulgrar's end will be a messy one.

Use this Stratagem when Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed is slain. Before removing him from the battlefield, roll a D6 for each unit within 6"; on a 4+ that unit suffers a mortal wound.

1CP — Corruption and Decay

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

Contamination permeates every diseased breath drawn by the Gellerpox Infected.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the Fight phase. Choose an enemy unit within 3" of a Gellerpox Infected unit from your army. Until the end of the phase, add 1 to all wound rolls made for Gellerpox Infected models from your army when they target this enemy unit.

1CP — Rancid Vomit

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

The amount of toxic bile that accumulates within the bloated bellies of the Nightmare Hulks is staggering.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Choose a Hullbreakers model from your army, then choose an enemy unit within 6" of it that is visible to it. Roll three D6; for each roll of 5+ that enemy unit suffers a mortal wound.

1CP — Machine Glitch

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

Not even the surest of machine spirits can withstand the burbling, static-spewing Glitchlings.

Use this Stratagem after a unit of Glitchlings from your army has fought in the Fight phase. Choose an enemy Vehicle unit within 1" of that unit and roll one D6 for each model in your unit; for each roll of 4+ the enemy unit suffers a mortal wound.

1CP — Gellershift

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

With a loud crack, the Gellerpox Mutants known as the Vox-Shamblers can shift themselves, moving along the same transmission methods as vox calls.

Use this Stratagem before you move the Vox-Shamblers in the Movement phase. Instead of moving this unit normally, it can make a Gellershift. Remove this unit from the battlefield, then, at the end of the Movement phase, set it up again anywhere that is more than 9" from any enemy models.

1CP — Insane Gibberings

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

The all-sseing creatures of the warp are always close to hand when the Gellerpox Infected mass for battle.

Use this Stratagem at the start of the enemy Psychic phase. Until the end of the phase, subtract 1 from Psychic tests taken for enemy Psykers whilst they are within 18" of Vulgrar Thrice-Cursed.

1CP — Twisted Blessings

Gellerpox Infested Stratagem

Living, crawling scab-creatures have ben known to emerge out of Nightmare Hulks in order to patch themselves over their host's worst wounds.

Use this Stratagem at the end of your Movement phase. Choose a Hullbreakers model from your army. That model regains one lost wound.
