All of these vile warriors make their appearance in Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle which covers their background as well as their rules, and will be available in standard and Gamer’s Edition formats – the latter a smaller book that includes a full set of warscroll cards.
The battletome also includes updated army rules for the followers of Nurgle, rules for a new Spearhead, two Regiments of Renown, and two Armies of Renown. One Army of Renown eschews the spreading of disease and lets Rotbringers embrace a seven-step Cycle of Corruption, while the other has Horticulous Slimux lead an extremely green-fingered delegation known as the Gardeners of Nurgle. There’s also a Path to Glory section which lets you craft your own cankerous commander.
Just as the followers of the Grandfather carry with them odd tchotchkes and fetishes, so too can you equip yourself with accessories when playing games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. A set of warscroll cards let you reference key rules without leafing through the battletome mid-game, and a set of pale green dice with brown pips keep the rotten vibe going.
This book also contains rules for using Nurgle's followers from Warhammer Quest: Darkwater – a new entry in the beloved board game series that was revealed at this very Preview Show. Gelgus Pust, his court of supporting characters, the Cankerborn, and Pox-wretches all join the carnival of corruption with their own warscrolls, and standalone boxes that will be released at a later date.
