8" 8 4+ 2 Pusgoyle Blightlords are the droning vanguard of a Maggotkin horde’s advance. Mounted upon buzzing Rot Flies, they spread destruction in the manner of an especially virulent pathogen. Descending from above upon entrenched or defiant enemies, the Blightlords and their daemonic steeds crash home like the sudden tolling of a dirge-bell. Some will take this metaphor more literally, attaching heavy tocsins to their mount’s thorax and using the momentum to turn them into bludgeoning tools of slaughter.
Blightlords are amongst the most devoted of Nurgle’s mortal warriors. Each has undergone a hideous rite known as the Feast of Maggots, in which they allow daemonic slathermaggots to infest their body. They then have seven days in which to infect worshippers of Nurgle’s rival gods with slathermaggot spawn, or else they will be devoured from within. Should they succeed, a Rot Fly – a daemon formed from bitterness and rejection – will emerge from the Garden, consenting to serve as their mount. Blightlords are often curiously fond of their steed, even beyond the respect Nurgle’s champions habitually display for his daemons. To harm a Rot Fly spurs them into a gurgling rage – one that often ends in the offender being filled to bursting with daemonic mites and ticks. | ||

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! | ||
