Opis
Nurgle is the Chaos God of plagues, whose power waxes strong when disease
and despair ravage the Mortal Realms. Though he is a source of fear and
revulsion to his enemies, Nurgle is a perversely paternal god, generous with
his foul gifts and proud of his worshippers’ every disgusting achievement. His
armies, both mortal and daemon, bulge with virulent boons. The twisted and
disfigured, the spiteful and forsaken, the hopelessly insane – these Maggotkin
spread the joyous filth and bountiful contagions, hoping to turn the whole of
the Mortal Realms into a single garden of beautiful
putrescence.
In the 104-page hardback Battletome: Maggotkin of
Nurgle, you’ll find:
– Grandfather Nurgle: disturbingly
cheerful background information on the most plaguesome of Chaos Gods, delving
into his fraught relationship with the other gods, his hideous and bloated
physical form and his obsession with the lush, inexhaustible cornucopia of
Ghyran;
– The Garden of Nurgle: a horribly detailed description of Nurgle’s
domain within the Realm of Chaos;
– Details of the Daemons of Nurgle, from
Plaguebearers to Great Unclean Ones, describing their foul methods of war,
along with descriptions of Nurgle’s vast armies of mortal followers;
–
Armies of the Plague God: the organisation and structure of Nurgle’s armies –
the Plague Legions and the Rotbringer Contagiums;
– Warbands of the Plague
God: descriptions, sigils and colour schemes for 6 specific Nurgle warbands –

Sons, The Drowned Men and the Filthbringers;
– Annals of Entropy: a timeline
of significant battles and events in the history of Nurgle’s forces;
–
Detailed background on the forces available to Nurgle, including mortals and
