Embrace the pestilent glory of Grandfather Nurgle with the Putrid Blightkings, enormous bloated warriors who represent some of the Plague God's most favored mortal servants. These festering champions lumber into battle with their dolorous bells tolling, bringing disease and decay to all who oppose the will of Nurgle in the Mortal Realms.
The Putrid Blightkings are blessed with the bite of the daemonfly and have been transformed into corpulent engines of destruction. Their rotting bodies can absorb tremendous amounts of punishment thanks to layers of swollen, diseased flesh, while their supernatural strength allows them to wield obscenely large weapons with deadly skill. Despite their bloated appearance, these champions possess a deceptively swift combat prowess that belies their corrupted forms.
This comprehensive 105-piece plastic kit allows you to build five Putrid Blightkings, each capable of being assembled in multiple distinct configurations. The exceptional customization options include 21 weapon arms, 11 torsos, and 17 head options, ensuring that every model in your unit can appear completely unique. The kit provides enough components to build specialized roles including a Blightlord leader with enhanced resilience, an Icon Bearer who inspires nearby allies, and a musician wielding a massive Sonorous Tocsin bell.
The Blightkings serve as excellent Battleline units in Maggotkin of Nurgle armies, offering exceptional durability with their 4 wounds and built-in 5+ ward save. Their Bloated Bulk ability makes them superior objective holders, improving their control score while contesting objectives. In combat, their Relentless Attackers ability ensures they continue to deal damage throughout the battle, rolling dice at the end of each combat phase to potentially cause mortal wounds based on enemy unit characteristics.
The weapons available to your Blightkings range from traditional axes, hammers, and flails to more exotic plague-touched implements including scythes, mauls, and farming tools - reflecting Nurgle's acceptance of all who would serve him, whether they began as warriors or simple farmers. Each weapon is lovingly detailed with rust, corrosion, and the distinctive aesthetic of Nurgle's gifts.
Perfect for both new collectors and veteran players expanding their Chaos armies, these models represent some of Games Workshop's finest character in miniature form. The incredible level of detail includes rolls of fat, festering pustules, horn growths, rusted armor plates, and countless other grotesque details that bring the horror and dark humor of Nurgle to life on your gaming table.
The kit includes five Citadel 40mm Round bases and provides endless opportunities for conversion and kitbashing with spare components. Whether you're building a core battleline for competitive play or creating characterful additions to narrative campaigns, the Putrid Blightkings offer unmatched versatility and visual impact.
These champions of decay integrate seamlessly with other Maggotkin of Nurgle units and can be enhanced by various faction abilities, subfaction traits, and spell lores. Their resilience and staying power make them ideal for controlling key battlefield positions while their combat effectiveness ensures they remain a credible threat throughout the game.
