The foetid appearance of the Plague Lord’s malicious Knights belies their illustrious standing.

Chaos Knights of Nurgle are a Warhost of the Apocalypse Warriors of Chaos and Nurgle Nurgle melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with the Champions of Chaos DLC.

Recruitment[ | ]

Description[ | ]

Like their fellow acolytes of the Plague God, the Knights of Nurgle’s hordes are always infected with all manner of disfiguring diseases. They are driven forth by a strange and morbid energy, enabling them to survive wounds that might otherwise slay another Chaos Knight. Their originally splendid wargear, coats of arms and banners are always tattered and filthy, like the rags of a leper, and their once-opulent silk or fur cloaks hang from their shoulders like the shroud of corpses. The Knights of Nurgle bear their disfigurements openly, proud of their dribbling sores and discoloured skin at odds with their exalted positions on the battlefield.
