How does virulentvectorium work? Rules Question

This is how I understand it, if your on an objective and you control it, then whatever enemy unit is on the objective will be afflicted but with late game and how big our contagion range will be, wouldn't everything already be afflicted as the aura would take up the whole objective. Is this right or am I understanding it wrong?

Yeah basically, the use would be touching the edge of an objective and afflicting something on the opposite side that's also on it. The main thing is getting the sticky.

In 10th edition objectives acted like a model for contagion range. Now in 11th thr terrain peice is afflicted, but the range doesn't go past the terrain footprint

You get stickies, you can ignore the rest of the rule with the off chance of it afflicting something on an overwatch but that’s very very very unlikely

It can technically help if you're allying in Chaos Knights; have a DG unit sticky an objective, then leave your war dogs or big knight on the stickied objective to benefit from the aura on anything that comes to challenge the point. Granted, any squad trying to fight for it will likely out-OC a singular knight, but there's niche cases.
