Description[]
An unbearable stench always heralds the approach of the Plague Lord’s warriors. Their helmets often bear great, withered horns and they are clad in rust-tarnished armour which conceal vile conditions or mutations – perhaps a slimy tentacle, or translucent, jelly-like flesh that reveals their decaying inner organs, or simply a body riddled with leprosy. Sometimes the corpulent meat of their bodies spills from the cracks of their armour. Whatever the case, they are deadly fighters who are near-impervious to pain and fight on despite receiving the most horrendous wounds imaginable.
Attributes[]
- Great Axe Infantry
- ▲ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Poison Attacks: The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage and/or apply the Poison! debuff.
Strategy[]
As with all the Nurgle great weapon variants, this is a higher risk, higher reward proposition versus the standard Chaos Warriors of Nurgle since it will do more damage once it's in combat, but will take more damage getting there. The standard variant is just so good as a damage sponge and line holder it's tough to justify it, unless you feel you don't have enough damage dealer types like Rot Knights in the army to carry a fight.
