  • 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

    • 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

    • Rule: Beast
    • Weapons:
      • Claws-Range 1"; Attacks 4; Strength 4; Damage 2/4
