Codex: Chaos (1996), p68 — Chaos Rewards: Nurgle

Champions of Lords that bear the Mark of Nurgle may take any of the following Chaos Rewards.

Beast of Nurgle — 40 pts

The model is accompanied by a Beast of Nurgle that has been gifted to him by the Chaos God. The characteristics and special rules for the Beast can be found in the Daemonic Ceratures section of this book. The Beast will attempt to remain within 6" of its master at all times. In effect, the two form a special unit and must obey all the Unit Coherency rules.

Nurgle's Rot — 5 pts

After making normal attacks in hand-to-hand combat, roll a D6 for each mortal enemy model in base-to-base contact. On a roll of 6 they contract Nurgle's Rot and suffer a single wound. No saving throws of any kind are allowed against Nurgle's Rot, so it cannot be stopped by energy fields, dodged, stopped by a medi-squig and so on. Note that this only applies to mortal foes, not to other daemons, vehicles, Avatars or Wraithguard.

Nurgle's Cloud of Flies — 5 pts

A cloud of flies surrounds the model. All enemy models in base-to-base contact suffer a -1 modifier to their Weapon Skill, whether they are attacking the model with the Cloud of Flies or another.

Plaguesword — 15 pts

The Plaguesword drips with venomous slime. A wound from a Plaguesword will kill mortal creatures outright on a D6 roll of 4 or more, regardless of how many wounds they have. One a roll of 1-3 the Plaguesword only causes 1 wound. Note that this only applies to mortal foes, not to other daemons, vehicles, Avatars or Wraithguard.
