Foul Blightspawn rise from the Plague Marine ranks, typically thosewarriors who feel joy in watching theirvictims suffer in the grip of [[Nurgle]]’splagues. Cruelty festers intheir souls, manifesting itself in evermore grotesque physical degeneration.One of their many mutations sees their eyes dribble from their sockets as black slime, leavingthe Blightspawn to ‘see’ in shades of [[warp]]energy. Their mouths twist into fanged,puckered spouts, and a wretched stenchseeps from their pores, so foul that itcauses even Plague Marines to balk. All thewhile, forbidden secrets of Nurgle’s plaguecraftform in the Blightspawns’ minds,compelling them toward alchemyand the creation of disease.{{Fn|11a}}

When such manifestations occur, thenew Blightspawn is sent to the diseasefactories of the [[Plague Planet]]. The foulgears and pistons of the machineryare forcibly driven into his guts, andan incubator is sutured to his armor,never to be removed. On the Plague Planet theFoul Blightspawn gather to learn from theeldest and foulest of their number, beingsso bloated with corruption that they havetaken root amidst the factories. When the Foul Blightspawn rejoin theirwarbands, they bring their newalchemical lore with them. Inside theirincubators are batches of their latest,finest work, ready to be unleashed.{{Fn|11a}} ==Weapons=='''Foul Blightspawns''' are usually armed with a [[Plague Sprayer]] and a pack of [[Blight Grenade]]s and [[krak grenade]]s.
