Maggotkin of Nurgle Background Tables
Source: Warcry Tome of Champions 2019 (out of print)
Nurgle’s power waxes whenever sickness and despair stalk the land. Yet despite the misery his ‘gifts’ spread, the Lord of Plagues is a jovial, almost loving god, doting upon his warriors as if they were his rancid children.
Nurgle’s obsession with the cycle of life and death – reflected in the foetid Garden that forms his domain in the Realm of Chaos – has seen him infect the Mortal Realms with all manner of hideous, virulent diseases. Those mortals who accept these dubious gifts become known as Rotbringers: bloated, fleshy monsters that are nearly impossible to slay. Marching by their side are the daemonic legions of Grandfather Nurgle. From maudlin Plaguebearers to the giggling Nurglings, these beings revel in foulness, and wherever they tread, the land will be blighted for years to come.
