In general this codex has a heavy trend away from re-rolls, presumably due to horrendous memories of just how look it could take to resolve shooting phases with the buffs Orks could stack.Like the others, it’s full of army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the Death Guard, the vile,disgustingly resilient sons of the dread Daemon Primarch Mortarion.
