The Maggotkin of Nurgle are the combined forces of Nurgle, merging his daemons with his mortal followers, the Rotbringers. They are, expectedly, a load of fat bastards that take way too much joy in spreading Nurgle's diseases.
History[edit]
Rotbringers first started to pop up just before the Age of Chaos, when Nurgle forced himself onto the Mortal Realms, particularly Ghyran and Shyish (since his thing is life and death, and since Isha is gone Alarielle is the next best thing). Whilst they did OK in Shyish, they did disturbingly well in Ghyran, as they nearly managed to take over the entire realm (with some help from Clan Pestilens) before Siggy-Diggy unleashed the Stormcast Eternals, who promptly teamed up with the Sylvaneth to beat them both back like an overly belligerent germaphobe. Since then, Papa Nurgz had decided to distribute his forces more equally across the realms deciding they all deserve his love equally.
Among this are the Blighted Duchies, lead by the Order of the Flies. A Lady of one of their cities, Cankerwall, was tempted into Nurgle worship during the Age of Chaos, and she slowly converted the religious military order into Nurgle worship. Lady Cankerwall serves as a seer to the order and almost turned a Tzeentch champion to her slave by honeyed words alone, with only Mordrek's intervention stopping the foul smelling seductress. Despite many setbacks, the Duchies are high in the Flylord's favor and are actively hounding all of Grandfathers foes across all Ghyran.
Forces of the Rotbringers[edit]
- Heralds of Decay: Foul priests riding atop rotten horses. While they can carry imposing scythes to cleave foes in half, they can also carry rusted bells whose intonations terrify foes.
- Lords of Afflictions: Nurgle Lords riding on Rot Flies.
- Lords of Blights: Carries particularly foul death's heads to throw at the opposition.
- Lords of Plagues: The closest thing to a generic Lord of Nurgle, a beatstick to mow down his foes.
- Plaguebringer Sorcerers: Rotten wizards capable of corrupting all sorts of magic with their stench.
- Pusboyle Blightlords: Rotten bastards riding atop Rot Flies, grinding through enemy lines with horrid diseases.
- Putrid Blightkings: The most "basic" of Nurgle's mortal forces. Even that's something of a misnomer, seeing as they're still fat fucks who can take plenty of abuse and dish it out in turn.
