Death Guard - Biologus Putrifier

We have our first Chaos entry into the Library! The Death Guard are followers/worshippers of Nurgle, the Chaos God of disease.

The Biologus Putrifier is a ad-hoc leader unit that is used attached to a unit of Plague Marines.

His stat-line is the same as any Death Guard marine, save for having 4 Wounds.

For weapons his Ranged profile is where he shines:

Hyper blight Grenades gives you D6 shots (+1 for every 5 models in the unit rounding down). at S5, Ap -1 and 2 Damage a pop with Lethal hits meaning a 6 to hit is an auto-wound!

The Injector Pistol is an added bonus if not a selling point. With only a 3" range, this Pistol weapon can be used while in combat to potentially deal 3 damage to the target... its a pity then that it does not have Lethal Hits which would have made sense!

However, this is not the big reason the Putrifier is played...
We look at the abilities.

Foul Infusion
Right, so while leading a unit he GIVES everything Lethal Hits! That pistol is now better. PLUS, a Crit is scored on a 5+ which means far more Lethals!
Explosive Maladies
Additionally, the Putrifier can use a Grenade Strat for 0CP once a per game in addition to another unit using a Grenade.

Thus you could possibly do 2x Grenade Strats in one turn:

8" Range, Roll 6 Dice, 4+ to cause Mortal Wounds.

If you had three Putrifiers then you could use 3x free Grenades or possible 3 rounds with 2x Grenades going off!

That's it, this is that the Biologus Putrifier do...

Thank you for reading this post!
