Shadow Legion Infantry

Plaguebearers of Nurgle

The rank and file of Nurgle's legions, crafted from the soul-stuff of mortals who have been slain by Nurgle's Rot. What little of the Plaguebearer's skin that can be seen beneath the discharge of innumerable sores is tinged with suppurant greens and vile browns. Pus weeps continuously from its single bloodshot eye and from the Daemon's forehead protrudes a single horn – the mark of Nurgle's Rot. Units of Plaguebearers are surrounded by a constant drone, created by the attendant hosts of plump black flies, and by the endless counting as the Daemons attempt to calculate their master's ever-changing requirements.
