Poxmakers of Nurgle Missile Monsters & Beasts

Plague Drones of Nurgle (Death's Heads)

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.

Abilities

• Cloud of Flies
  Through His endless pestilent blessings, the Plague Lord's followers thrive and surge forward when others would simply wither and die.
  Melee Defence +9
• Daemonic Instability
  As the Daemon's courage falters, their mortal form crumbles and fades from this reality.
• Banished!
  Once the Daemon's courage has failed them, they will fall back through the portal to the Chaos Realm whence they belong.

Attributes

• Causes Fear
  This unit frightens all enemy units, reducing their leadership when nearby. It is also immune to fear. Fear penalties do not stack.
• Daemonic
  This unit is Daemonic (has physical resistance, does not rout, is immune to terror, takes damage when Leadership is low)
• Can Fly
  This unit can fly.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Special Ranged Weapon
  This unit has a special missile attack with limited ammunition, which can be very useful when initiating attacks.
• 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.
