Plague Drones of Nurgle (Death's Heads) are a 
Nurgle and 
Daemons of Chaos missile cavalry unit in Total War: Warhammer III.
Recruitment[]
Nurgle
- Unlocked with: Living Tree of Decay (Fruiting), (Maturing) or (Decomposing)
- Daemons of Chaos
- Unlocked with: Bastion of Nurgle
- Nurgle Glory: 3740
- Undivided Glory: 3960
Description[]
These stewards of Nurgle's garden ride into the mortal realm mounted upon Rot Flies – colossal Daemon-insects whose appearance is so repugnant it leaves festering scars upon the mind. When facing the unremarkable warriors of the mortal realm, a Rot Fly will slowly digest all meat from a skull before spitting out a plague-infused death's head that its Plaguebearer rider can hurl at the foe. Given the chance, though, Rot Flies will hunt down the impertinent mortals that slew their previous incarnations. Opening their maws wider than physical law should allow, they consume their persecutors whole.
Attributes[]
- Flying Missile War Beasts
- ▲ 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.
- ▲ Special Ranged Weapon: This unit possesses a missile attack which is uncommon for this type of unit.
- ▲ Poison Attacks: The poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage and/or apply the Poison! debuff.
