MAGGOTKIN OF NURGLE LORD OF BLIGHTS
The Lord of Blights is a significant character within the Maggotkin of Nurgle faction in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar tabletop wargame. This daemonic champion is a devoted follower of Nurgle, the Chaos God of decay, pestilence, and rebirth. Here's a brief description of the Lord of Blights:
Nurgle's Chosen: The Lord of Blights is one of Nurgle's favored champions, marked by the god's blessings. Their body is a testament to their allegiance, featuring grotesque deformities, a putrid stench, and an aura of decay.
Bearer of Nurgle's Plagues: Armed with a variety of pestilent weapons, such as rusted blades and venomous flails, the Lord of Blights spreads Nurgle's plagues with each strike. These weapons carry the taint of disease, inflicting both physical and spiritual suffering on their victims.
Curse-Casting Sorcerer: The Lord of Blights is also a skilled sorcerer, capable of unleashing dark and pestilent spells that advance the cause of Nurgle. Their spells often focus on the spread of diseases, furthering the god's agenda.
Commander of Rotbringers: Often leading units of Putrid Blightkings, Plaguebearers, and other Nurgle-affiliated forces into battle, the Lord of Blights is a charismatic leader who inspires Nurgle's followers and enhances their resilience.
Nurturer of Decay: Like all Rotbringers, the Lord of Blights believes that decay and pestilence are a form of nurturing and renewal. They see their actions as helping the cycle of life continue, albeit in a grotesque and twisted manner.
Symbol of Nurgle: The Lord of Blights personifies the themes of decay, pestilence, and the cyclical nature of life and death that are central to Nurgle's domain. They are a formidable and thematic character within Nurgle-themed armies.
In both lore and gameplay, the Lord of Blights is a powerful and thematic character within the Maggotkin of Nurgle faction. Their role as a champion of Nurgle, bearer of pestilence, and master of decay makes them a strategic and flavorful addition to Nurgle forces. Their grotesque appearance and association with the nurturing aspect of decay and rebirth underscore the grim and pestilential aspects of Nurgle's realm.
The Lord of Blights comes as 7 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base.
