Death Guard — books on the story line
Death Guard
Stories with substantial Death Guard involvement. The Dark Imperium trilogy forms one reading path; the other named stories and campaigns are separate, and the Index Chaotica articles are reference material. Pandorax, Kathur and later wars do not become sequels merely because they share an enemy; the Legion’s involvement does not imply Mortarion appears in every book.
