8" 5 5+ 2 The daemonic Rot Fly is the result of a Beast of Nurgle being rebuked one too many times in its affections. A canker of resentment begins to germinate inside the creature, seeing its typical vivaciousness replaced by a gnawing, embittered malaise. Upon being banished back to the Garden of Nurgle, it is enveloped in a swarm of flies, all while brooding upon its displeasure. Within this living cocoon, a monstrous metamorphosis occurs until the Beast has transformed into a Rot Fly, a creature entirely driven by the need to wreak vengeance.
Rot Flies are claimed as mounts by especially haughty Plaguebearers, who assemble into aerial shock cavalry known as Plague Drones. Though they serve their master faithfully enough, the Rot Flies view this as an alliance of convenience. By joining the Plague Legions, they gain more opportunities to enter the Mortal Realms, where their sole goal is to hunt down those who spurned their former incarnation. When they find their quarry, their malice reaches a fever pitch. If the spurner is lucky, they will merely be ripped apart or impaled upon slime-dripping stingers. If not, they will be swallowed by the Rot Fly, their body digested and their soul trapped within the daemon’s essence to suffer for eternity. | ||

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! | ||
