Marauder Horsemen of Nurgle (Throwing Axes) are a 
Warriors of Chaos and 
Nurgle missile cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Champions of Chaos.
Recruitment[]
Warriors of Chaos
- By upgrading Marauder Horsemen (Throwing Axes) to Marauder Horsemen of Nurgle (Throwing Axes) with the Warband Upgrades
- Nurgle
- Unlocked with: Daemonic Egg Sacs (Metamorphosis)
Description[]
Many Marauders offer sacrifices to the Lord of Decay as precaution against illness, but there are those that completely entrust their souls to His care. When epidemics ravage the northern tribes, some chieftains and shamans decree that their only chance of survival is to devote themselves to the Plague Lord. In return for their lives, they champion Nurgle with sword and flame against rival tribes and the hated realms of the south, the marks of their survival borne by their pallid, pockmarked skin likely to also be branded with His three-circled symbol.
Attributes[]
- Missile Cavalry
- ▲ Shielded: Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing Missiles: 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.
- ▲ Vanguard Deployment: This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
- ▲ Poison Attacks: The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage and/or apply the Poison! debuff.
