Fighters Overview

Leader

Plagueridden

• Stats: Movement 3"; Toughness 4; Wounds 15; 90 Pts.
  • Rule: Leader, Warrior
  • Weapons:
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 3; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - Your cheap leader option, slow and not great, but at least he has toughness and wounds for his price tag, and four attacks with his meh sword. Take him if you have a specific list build that needs the points.

Poxbringer

  • Rule: Leader
  • Weapons:
    • Arcane Bolt-Range 3-7"; Attacks 2; Strength 3; Damage 3/6
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/5
• Fighter Commentary - upgrade on the Plagueridden with 5 more wounds, a stronger sword, and a ranged spell attack for utility.

Sloppity Bilepiper

  • Weapons:
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 3; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - Your deluxe leader, +110 points nets you +3" movement, 15 wounds, +1 toughness. You should be taking this guy most of the time, if only for the fact that he has 6" move despite being a Nurgle daemon.

Fighter

Plaguebearer

• Stats: Movement 3"; Toughness 3; Wounds 10; 50 Pts.
  • Rule: Minion
  • Weapons:
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 1/4
• Fighter Commentary - not the tanks you think of when it comes to Nurgle but they are very cheap especially with their 2 more wounds and a extra +1 crit damage from normal chaff.

Plague Drone

• Stats: Movement 6"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 170 Pts.
  • Rule: Fly, Destroyer
  • Weapons:
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 3; Strength 3; Damage 1/4

Nurglings

• Stats: Movement 5"; Toughness 3; Wounds 30; 145 Pts.
  • Rule: -,
  • Weapons:
    • Sword-Range 1"; Attacks 6; Strength 3; Damage 1/3
• Fighter Commentary - Lots of wounds make them pretty decent tanks, plus their speed is nice, especially for Nurgle. Their 6 attacks are surprisingly nasty when buffed by Grandfather's Blessing. They can heal a lot, too, but it needs quads, so YMMV

Beast of Nurgle

• Stats: Movement 4"; Toughness 4; Wounds 30; 175 Pts.
  • Rule: Beast
  • Weapons:
    • Claws-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/4
• Fighter Commentary - your most offensive fighter, slower then a Plague Drone, but better melee. with Acid Slime Trail ability is easy leave a Deathly parting gift before hugging to death your opponent's next nearest fighter.
