'''Heralds of Nurgle''', the most common of which are known as [[Poxbringer]]s, are mortals who resisted [[Nurgle's Rot]] for a lengthy period. Though the disease inevitably claims them, their resistance to the ravages of the disease created a longer incubation period, spawning a more powerful Daemon. These larger, more powerful [[Plaguebearer]]s often lead armies of their kind and sometimes mount [[Rot Flies]] to form squadrons of [[Plague Drones]].{{Fn|1}}
