At the current time, the Contagion known as Nurgle's Gift can only be used if every unit in the army is Death Guard. I was thinking, however, when the CSM codex drops, that it might be a nice compromise to give them Nurgle's Gift, but then to have it stay at a range of one inch throughout an entire game. This would be fluffy and would give them extra power while keeping them separate and far less scary than those from the Death Guard. Friendly units, of course, would not be affected by NG.

Pointed appropriately, that would be fine. However, I feel like it might be more interesting to give them their own playstyle/mechanic rather than just making them a watered down version of the DG.
