Maggotkin of Nurgle – Lord of Afflictions
8" 8 3+ 2 Lords of Afflictions seek to embody the swiftly spreading plague, the killing malady that tears through a community in days. Mounted upon a buzzing, ill-tempered Rot Fly, they lead flights of mounted warriors and daemons through the skies of the realms, frantic in their need to find untainted souls to corrupt. When a suitable target is sighted, the Lord of Afflictions leads their warriors to descend in a brutal, line-breaking charge. With filth-dripping trident, they lay about the foe, leaving those few who survive the initial onslaught broken in body and mind.
Even this, however, does not spread disease swiftly enough for the liking of a Lord of Afflictions. So it is that they are driven to labour over the creation of an Incubatch, a totem crafted from a mortal corpse that radiates the most virulent of plagues. An Incubatch is the product of appalling rituals. To fashion such an entity requires the champion to barter away much of what remains of their soul. Some might even say that the Lords of Affliction fight so furiously in order to drown out the feeling of hollowness that eats at them constantly – though venturing as much before the champion would soon end in disaster. | ||

18.1 Ward Saves
Units with the WARD keyword have the ‘Ward Save’ passive ability. The number after the WARD keyword indicates the ward value for the ward save. If a unit had WARD (5+), for example, its ward value would be 5. If a unit has more than one ward save, only the ward save with the lowest value applies to it; the other has no effect. Passive |
WARD SAVE: Whether through their uncanny reflexes, unnatural toughness or a source of mystical protection, these warriors can avoid otherwise lethal attacks.
Effect: In step 1 of the damage sequence (see 18.0), make a ward roll of D6 for each damage point in this unit’s damage pool. If the roll equals or exceeds this unit’s ward value, remove that damage point from the damage pool.

15.4 Flying
Units with the FLY keyword have the following passive ability:| Passive |
FLY: Soaring above the battlefield, this unit can reach destinations that are inaccessible to other troops.
Effect: As this unit moves, it ignores other models, terrain features and the combat ranges of enemy units. It cannot end its move in combat unless specified in the ability that allowed it to move. Ignore any vertical distance moved for this unit.
| When moving flying units, move them horizontally in any direction, ignoring intervening models and terrain, and place them where you wish, so long as they are allowed to end their move on that spot. Note that some units have the FLY keyword even if that unit can’t really fly. This often represents units that bounce, bound or skitter across the battlefield so adeptly that they might as well be flying! | ||
