Maggotkin of Nurgle

The Maggotkin of Nurgle faction in Warhammer Age of Sigmar embodies the repugnant yet strangely resilient essence of Nurgle, the Chaos God of Decay, Disease, and Rebirth. These grotesque warriors and daemons are festooned with boils, sores, and other signs of pestilence, yet they revel in their afflictions, viewing them as blessings from their loving, paternal god. The Maggotkin march to war with a slow but unstoppable advance, their bodies bursting with contagion that spreads despair and corruption wherever they tread. The faction is led by bloated, resilient leaders such as the Glottkin, Great Unclean Ones, and Rotbringer Sorcerers, who wield both brutal physical strength and putrid sorceries that wither their enemies. Their ranks include the diseased Plaguebearers, the hulking Putrid Blightkings, and the horrific Beasts of Nurgle, each exuding the foul vitality that makes them hard to kill. On the battlefield, the Maggotkin of Nurgle overwhelm their foes with sheer tenacity and the ability to spread debilitating plagues, turning the land into a fetid garden of corruption. Despite their horrific appearance, they are driven by a grotesque joy and the belief that through decay comes renewal, embodying the paradoxical nature of their god's cycle of life and death.
