Noxious Blightbringer

The Noxious Blightbringer (God that name just sounds pretentious) is a dark reflection of the noble Legion banner bearers of old, who carries a cursed plague bell that tolls with the death knell of his victims. Like the giant bells from the atrocious looking Nurgle Plague Tower, the plague bell as upholded by the Noxious Blightbringer reigns in psychological dread from the weak minded and boosts morale from the forces of the Plague Father. The Noxious Blightbringer is also armed with a pretty sweet looking Plasma Pistol, but nobody cares for that.
The Blightbringer comes equipped with the iconic cursed plague bell, a plasma pistol which can be supercharged and some blight and krak grenades. An interesting fact of note is that the plague bell is not some special equipment, but it is in fact a melee weapon. How in Mortarion's rotting testicles that a overhung bell can be used to smack around guardsmen is both funny and stupid at the same time. But of course the Fluff states that the bells are capable of generating sonic waves that bring pain and disorientation to the enemy, but if that was the case, it would have made sense to turn this into a ranged weapon with the sonic prefix rather than some over glorified flail. Another FAIL from GW.
Of course each Death Guard army is equipped with the disgustingly resilient rule which makes them a particularly pain in the ass to remove and destroy. In the Blightbringer's case, it has a special rule called Tocsin of Misery which is the ultimate Troll ability to fuck with enemy leadership. Any enemy within 7" of the Blightbringer must subtract 1 from their leadership (Psykers must subtract 2), meaning its not-so-good news for more choppy-aligned armies especially when said ability will buff any nearby friendly Death Guard unit. Seriously any friendlies within 7" of the Blightbringer can roll two dices when advancing, discarding the lowest result when determining how far the unit advances. Never has the word Bullshit been more apt.
