A Joyous time of ague and entropy is upon us. The great wound of the galaxy gapes wide, and Grandfather Nurgle’s sticky legions seep out, accompanied by the infinite buzzing of innumerable flies.
The cycle of decay has been good to Nurgle, and the upcoming Codex: Chaos Daemons gives the forces of this jolly god even more toys to play with.
This turn of the rotting wheel means the forces of Nurgle lose their Disgustingly Resilient rule, which is replaced with a swollen Toughness stat, more Wounds, and those all-important daemonic saves.
Take the humble Plaguebearer, now more fecund than ever thanks to a hearty dose of Nurgle's warp-phlegm and polish.
Beasts of Nurgle have been lapping at the brackish pool of the Grandfather’s prized poxes, resulting in a boost right across their profile.
Grotesque Regeneration fully heals a Beast at the end of each phase, making them exceptionally resilient. Gooey Demise means that if someone does manage to squish one, it has a chance of popping like an acrid boil, dealing mortal wounds to all those unlucky enough to be caught in the foetid blast radius.
Wherever the forces of Nurgle stake their claim, Grandfather’s garden begins to take hold. Eventually, in these festering seedbeds, Feculent Gnarlmaws sprout forth, transforming the lands into a hellish nursery of disease.
They provide a haven for Nurgle’s minions, replenishing models in Plaguebearer Infantry Core units on a roll of 6 in the Command Phase, and reducing the effectiveness of shooting attacks with a thick Shroud of Flies.
This is just the tip of the fatberg as Codex: Chaos Daemons is full of revolting ways to make your Daemons of Nurgle deadlier and more resilient than ever before, making it even more fun to spread the gift of corruption.
