While normal Cultists can serve in battle, they are a stronger force wandering the world, spreading corruption, sabotaging enemy plans, scouting, and generally making a rotten nuisance of themselves. These Plague Cultists exist purely for that purpose, outside of the normal deployment of Cultists. His most devoted servants carry plagues and worse the world over, infiltrating towns and armies to use their very bodies as fuel for the spread of His glorious gifts. A cloud of flies accompanies its bearers, making them difficult to target.Ĭultists exist to spread the corruption of their god, Nurgle’s in particular. The Mark of Nurgle manifests itself in a variety of disgusting afflictions. In exchange, the Ruinous Powers offer their dark blessings – gifts that make the faithful mighty indeed. The fell Gods of Chaos ask for total and complete devotion from their mortal followers, and they grow strong upon the conflict and slaughter they unleash. At a moment’s notice they can unleash this on enemy troops, buzzing distraction proving as deadly a foe as the cursed blades of the Plaguebearers. Within their bodies live a thousand thousand contagions unborn, as well as the flies and beasts that feed off such sickness. They take great patriarchal pride in the achievements of their fellow creatures, proclaiming vociferously the splendours of the poxes and sores evinced by those around them, and bellow with hearty laughter in response to the destruction wrought in Nurgle’s name.Įach is a being of magical power near un-matched, imbuing the air itself with the necessary energy to render all around them into the fleshy slush of ravaged corpses. Gregarious and curiously sentimental, they hold their followers dear and even refer to them as their ‘children’. Exalted Great Unclean Ones are exuberant in the pursuit of their enthusiasms. In perverse contrast to his horrific appearance, the Exalted Great Unclean One is neither morbid nor consumed with despair – if anything the opposite is true. Heralds of Nurgle possess a strength and hardiness that belies their rotten frames, as well as a jovial nature somewhat at odds with the world-weary aspect of their droning minions. From the souls of such hardy individuals are shaped the repulsive Heralds of Nurgle, who march in the Daemonic legions as proof positive that even the strongest and ablest cannot indefinitely defy disease. The longer a victim can endure against Nurgle’s Rot, the greater in the Plaguelord’s sight the resulting Daemon shall be. Mounts: None, but rides a Nurgling Palanquin as default.From atop his Nurgling Palanquin he preaches the word of his lord, inspiring all who hear it and don’t consider it the most rotten filth imaginable. A great leader of his armies and an inspiring figure to all those that bear the Mark of Nurgle. While not a titan of single combat, he is still a Great Unclean One of immense power and renown, and thus not an easy target for anyone or thing. He’s an expert spellcaster in the Lore of Nurgle, a uniquely powerful daemon summoner who can bring more of those explosive Nurglings onto the battlefield, and one very smelly boy. In battle, Ku’gath operates as the campaign’s earliest-available artillery piece, hurling explosive Nurglings across half the map to detonate in the ranks of his enemies. This great bulk is held aloft by a carpet of straining Nurglings, and Ku’gath is attended on by countless others, all bred from the Plaguefather’s pox vats.

The Plaguefather rides upon a massive palanquin bedecked with alchemical paraphernalia: vials full of seething powder, flasks of indescribable liquid and hessian sacks stuffed to bursting with Nurglings. Ku’gath aims to one day breed a contagion that can infect the Gods themselves. Whilst other Great Unclean Ones work to spread the plagues already extant, Ku’gath, the Plaguefather, is fascinated by the breeding of new and virulent life.

The coming of Nurgle is accompanied by the laughter and joy of smiling daemons, a tide of rolling infection that grins as it moves. However, like any other major Chaos power, there is also a swarm of daemons at His behest, skittering and marching across the battlefield. The inexorable spread of Nurgle’s forces across the world is assisted by His many plagues and diseases.
