About the game

To the tolling of rusted bells, the Maggotkin bring disease and despair to the realms. Revolting worshippers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of plagues and entropy, they live to bring others into his fold by sharing with them his foul gifts. Given strength by the maladies that blight their flesh, the Maggotkin serve Grandfather Nurgle with furious zeal. Armies of infected mortals fight alongside droning plague-daemons, spreading pestilence to all and sundry. They would not see the realms burn, however. Instead, they seek to transform them into reeking, squelching extensions of Nurgle’s Garden, writhing and pulsating with disgusting life. In this book, you'll learn everything there is to know of the foul pestilences of Nurgle and his corrupted followers who wage war with rusted weapons and diseased touch.
