Maggotkin of Nurgle – Plaguebearers
4" 2 6+ 1 5+ Plaguebearers trudge to battle amidst the drone of flies’ wings and endless counting. These daemons tally the diseases unleashed upon the realms, all the while stabbing and hacking at their enemies with filthy plagueswords. Each one is born of the soul of a mortal killed by Nurgle’s Rot, a debilitating disease that decays both the spirit and body until the sufferer dies an agonisingly slow death. After feeding on their despair in life, the Plague God accepts their souls into his Garden in death, remaking them as pus-ridden daemons swathed in clouds of fat-bodied flies. | ||

Warscrolls collatedCrit (Mortal)
If an attack made with this weapon scores a critical hit, that attack inflicts mortal damage on the target unit equal to the Damage characteristic of that weapon and the attack sequence ends.Hit Roll
Roll a dice. If the roll equals or exceeds the attacking weapon’s Hit characteristic, the attack scores a successful hit: move on to the next step. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. Unmodified hit rolls of 1 always fail. If an unmodified hit roll for an attack made with a weapon is a 6, that attack is a critical hit.| Critical hits have no effect on their own but often trigger additional effects (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities). | ||
Shooting attacks
Shooting attacks are made with ranged weapons. The target unit(s) must be within a distance equal to the Range characteristic of the weapon being used and visible to the attacking model. Models cannot make shooting attacks if their unit is in combat, unless otherwise specified (see 20.0 Weapon Abilities).
