Malignant Plaguecaster

Malignant Plaguecaster is a Characters unit in the Death Guard faction for Warhammer 40k.

Points: 60.

Every foetid fibre of a Malignant Plaguecaster’s body is rotted and decayed. They are living conduits for Nurgle’s miasmas and maladies. Foul blights reside within their roiling, bloated frames, and when they are unleashed in an eruption of vomit and gases, they liquefy metal, stone andflesh.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: bolt pistol; Plague Wind; corrupted staff.
