Plague Drones of Nurgle
Plaguebearers conveyed into battle atop shrieking, repugnant Rot Flies, winged Daemon-beasts whose speed is matched only by their indescribable hideousness.High-ranking Plaguebearers are known amongst the Daemon legions as Plague Drones; a title that conveys commendable humility, yet belies the power beneath. 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. From their lofty positions the Plague Drones can properly tally the diseases running rife across the battlefield, as well as swiftly intervene should Nurgle's divine plans meet with heavily-armed resistance.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- 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 [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/wh_main_unit_contact_poison.png]]poisonous attacks of this unit weaken the target's speed and damage.
