Plaguebearers are the unarmored counterpart to Crushers
Details
These one-eyed Daemons appear as frail, wasteu humanoid bodies with bloated stomachs, long gangling arms, and broad mouths full of broken fangs and dripping with infectious spittle. Their foreheads are peaked with a single ivory horn, crusted with dried blood, mucus and pus. In their gnarled hands, they carry thick, rusty cleavers known as Plagueswords and broad slashing blades which they use on the battlefield to spread their virulent infections. Surrounded by a thick cloud of enormous black flies, they are a horrific foe, even from across the field of battle, as their host buzzes with the wings of the flies and rumbling with a dolorous dirge. The body of a Plaguebearer appears weak and fragile, but their constant exposure to the vilest concoctions of Nurgle’s cauldron has made them unnaturally resilient. Inured to pain, ignorant of the idea of injury, they fight on, even laughing at the sight of their own dismemberment.
Plaguebearers:
-Grant Cranial Corruption to allies in proximity
-Slowly heal themselves overtime
-Apply corruption on heavy overhead attack
-Are exceptionally resilient to ranged attacks, as the flies that swarm around them absorb most of the ranged attack damage.
