===Heavy Blight Launcher=== [[File:HBlight_Launcher.png|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Blight Launcher]] Take three normal Blight Launchers, duct tape them into a symbol of Nurgle and then [[Powergamer|supercharge]] that motherfucker. A Heavy Blight Launcher is a type of heavy Grenade Launcher used by the forces of the Death Guard Traitor Legion. This ugly piece of daemonic tech is capable of firing three armor-piercing blight shells at a time drawn from a rusting drum magazine in rippling volleys. This rain of disease-ridden shells can reduce a battle tank to a corroded, collapsing wreck in moments, or bring whole squads of heavily armored infantry such as Terminators to their knees. Furthermore, the Heavy Blight Launcher have a much higher rate of fire than the regular Blight Launcher, enabling to sustain a consistent volley of weaponized space herpes at the enemy. Hence, it acts more of a anti-tank weapon than a light artillery. On tabletop, Heavy Blight Launchers are basically three normal Blight Launchers with 12" more range; considering that it's got a 4+ to hit, and can't get Inexorable Advance. This may ''seem'' like a mediocre option at best, but in practice, it is actually a lot better than you'd think. 8th edition has many, many fast moving assault armies and plenty of units that can charge out of deepstrike to be on top of your fire support elements in the blink of an eye. Whilst other Death Guard units are too slow to react, move and counterattack a wide form of lightning bruisers like Assault Marines, Helldrakes and Flyrants; enter the Bloat Drone. The Plaguespitters are great, but if you need some long range fire support that can't get tied up by enemy assaults, the Heavy Blight Launcher has you covered. It can fly, its (important) stats don't go down as it takes damage, it's tough as nails for its cost, and it can play keep away with assault elements in the enemy army without sacrificing its usefulness.
