TAG     :  Warhammer Age of Sigmar Maggotkin of Nurgle Plaguebearers
GAME :  Age of Sigmar

In the twisted and decaying realms of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, the Maggotkin of Nurgle represent the grotesque and resilient forces of the Chaos God of disease and decay, Nurgle. Among the most iconic and numerous of Nurgle’s followers are the Plaguebearers, the daemonic infantry that embody the essence of rot and contagion. Here’s an overview of Plaguebearers, their role within the Maggotkin of Nurgle, and their significance on the battlefield.

Overview of Plaguebearers

Plaguebearers are the daemonic servants of Nurgle, formed from the souls of those who succumbed to disease and despair. They are characterized by their bloated, rotting forms, festooned with sores and pestilence. Each Plaguebearer carries a unique appearance, often adorned with symbols of Nurgle and wielding rusted weapons. Despite their grotesque nature, Plaguebearers are imbued with a sense of joy and purpose, reveling in the spread of decay and the embrace of their master’s gifts.

Role in the Maggotkin of Nurgle Army

Core Infantry: Plaguebearers serve as the backbone of any Maggotkin of Nurgle army. They are resilient and numerous, capable of holding objectives and absorbing damage while other units maneuver around them.

Durability: With their high toughness and ability to shrug off wounds, Plaguebearers are incredibly durable. Their ability to ignore wounds on a roll of a 5+ (due to their Disgustingly Resilient ability) makes them a formidable presence on the battlefield, allowing them to withstand significant amounts of firepower.

Contagion Spreaders: Plaguebearers excel at spreading Nurgle’s contagions. Their presence can debilitate enemy units, weakening them and making them more susceptible to further attacks from Nurgle’s forces.

Tactics and Strategies

Objective Holders: Use Plaguebearers to secure and hold objectives on the battlefield. Their durability allows them to withstand enemy assaults, making them ideal for defending key points.

Screening and Absorbing Damage: Deploy Plaguebearers in front of more fragile units, such as your spellcasters or ranged support. They can absorb incoming fire and protect your more valuable assets from harm.

Synergy with Other Nurgle Units: Combine Plaguebearers with other Nurgle units, such as the Sloppity Bilepiper or Great Unclean One, to create a synergistic force. Their ability to buff nearby units and spread contagions can enhance the overall effectiveness of your army.

Contagion Effects: Take advantage of the Contagion mechanics available to the Maggotkin of Nurgle. Position your Plaguebearers strategically to maximize the effects of your contagions, weakening enemy units and making them easier targets for your other forces.

Conclusion

Plaguebearers are a quintessential element of the Maggotkin of Nurgle, embodying the resilience and grotesque nature of Nurgle’s followers. Their durability, ability to spread contagion, and sheer numbers make them a vital asset on the battlefield. Whether you’re holding objectives, absorbing damage, or spreading the gifts of decay, Plaguebearers stand ready to serve their master in the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
