Maggotkin of Nurgle – Orghotts Daemonspew
8" 14 3+ 5 The Maggoth Lords are a trio of infamous champions of Nurgle, beings who have endured over centuries and carried out profound acts of corruption and desecration in their Grandfather’s name. In return for their service, they have been granted command of a Pox Maggoth, a gargantuan beast with the head of a snapping maggot. Their porous flesh is slick with diseased slime, and prehensile tongues lash from their pus-drooling maws. They are clear marks of Nurgle’s esteem, and each Maggoth Lord commands hordes of faithful as a result.
Orghotts Daemonspew is the most martial of the Maggoth Lords and the rider of the beast known as Whippermaw. Legend claims he was sired by a Great Unclean One through some unhallowed ritual, yet despite his grim parentage, he is not permitted to roam the Garden of Nurgle in the manner of a true daemon. This barring from paradise infuriates Daemonspew and has rendered him unflinchingly determined to impress Nurgle enough to earn true apotheosis. Wielding the feared Rotaxes, he leads vast hosts of mortal warriors into the most unrelenting slaughters, hoping to catch his god’s gaze through his ability to endure and the mountains of plague-ridden corpses he creates. | ||
