Life is overrated, embrace decay! The forces of Grandfather Nurgle are here to stamp their mark on the Mortal Realms with new units, a new battletome, and more – and you’d better believe it’s going to get icky.
Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle
Beseech the gifts of the Lord of Decay in the feculent new Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle, the latest update to the faction’s rules that contains updated warscrolls, battle traits, Regiments and Armies of Renown, a new Spearhead, and plenty of Path to Glory content for your narrative campaigns. It’s the essential companion for aspiring plague-spreaders and rot-priests, detailing Nurgle’s ambitions for the Realm of Life and the horrifying forces he commands alongside beautiful(ish) miniatures galleries.
Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle (Gamer’s Edition)
Wish you had all of the battletome content in a more portable, table-friendly package? The gamer’s edition of Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle is the answer, featuring all of the same rules and lore as the full-sized book in a smaller format. Better still, it comes with a full set of 56 reference cards, so you can check your rules in double-quick time.*
Festus the Leechlord
Once a doctor from the World-that-Was who dedicated his life to plague research, Festus eventually rededicated himself to Nurgle in body and soul and was one of the Plaguefather’s greatest mortal servants. Now ascended to daemonhood, he leads the Maggotkin from atop his revolting beast, Gathoblyt, conjuring parasitic leeches and reducing enemies to bubbling muck with a flick of his swollen wrist.
Sloven Knights
Even the noblest of knights can be corrupted by Nurgle’s influence, becoming one of the shambling warriors known as Sloven Knights. These horribly mutated figures are despair incarnate, and can plummet their victims into a suffocating torpor even as their half-rotten steeds crash through their battle lines.
Putrid Blightkings
The most dedicated of the Grandfather’s zealots swell with his corpulent power and become Putrid Blightkings – bellowing demagogues whose pious sermons and ungodly stench confound spells and drown out prayers. They’re a dab hand in a fight too, as their festering bodies turn aside attacks that would kill a normal man and keep their rusty weapons chopping time and time again.
Rotswords
Unlike the indolent ilk they march to war with, Rotswords are energetic warriors who fight with unnatural vigour – for a devotee of Nurgle – and fearlessly charge into combat hoping to burn out the never-ending fever wracking their bodies. They are excellent foot soldiers covered in heavy armour, which combined with Nurgle’s gifts makes them a truly daunting prospect to overcome.
Pestigors
Those beastmen mutated according to Grandfather Nurgle’s whims are known as Pestigors. Their natural aptitude for bloody close combat is paired with the Maggotkin’s unnatural resilience – causing their stampedes to spread death and disease as they storm across civilization like a dark cloud of pestilence.
The Court of Gelgus Pust
The top dog of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater – Gelgus Pust – can also be used in regular games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar with the rules found in Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle. This pack contains not only the man himself but also Belga the Cystwitch and the Shaman Foulhoof, so you can assemble the Jade Abbey’s conquerors for a whistlestop tour around the rest of the Mortal Realms.
The Cankerborn
When the land itself is assaulted by Nurgle’s corrupting magics, the foul daemonic entities known as the Cankerborn can spring up, eager to serve the Plague God’s will. They now infest the Jade Abbey, but can be found in all sorts of Maggotkin armies, and this set of two comes with two additional Pestilent Pollutant tokens to work with.
Pox-Wretches
Some lowly mutants are attracted to the worship of Nurgle from a simple desire to belong somewhere in a world that has long since discarded them, becoming Pox-Wretches that delight in the spreading of filth and disease. Their activities often attract a following of grimy Mire Kelpies that slither in their wake, helping Nurgle’s bravest little soldiers to corrupt the land around them.
Each box contains 14 Pox-Wretches and six Mire Kelpies, both of which are push-fit kits.
Spoilpox Scrivener
Cataloguing the many plagues and infections spread by Nurgle’s faithful is a perpetual task, overseen by the specialist Plaguebearers known as Spoilpox Scriveners. Their constant badgering keeps their shambling kin motivated and effective, while the distended mouth growing from their coiling trunk sneezes revolting slime over any unfortunates who stray too close.
This miniature was previously available in Spearhead: Maggotkin of Nurgle, and is now returning as a standalone release.
Regiments of Renown: The Pustules
Summon a horde of Plaguebearers to fight alongside your other Grand Alliance Chaos armies with the oozing Regiment of Renown known as The Pustules. The Spoilpox Scrivener that leads them also summons a Feculent Gnarlmaw into the fray, knitting their daemonic flesh back together as it drags itself across the battlefield in search of a tasty mortal meal.*
Spearhead: Bubonic Cell
Spread contagions to the Spearhead arena with the Bubonic Cell, led by a fearsome Rotbringer Sorcerer and his Rotmire Creed congregation of 10 mortal warriors. Two lots of three Nurgling swarms cavort alongside them screeching with glee, and a corpulent Beast of Nurgle smashes aside entire regiments of troops in the hope of finding an adequate playmate.**
Spearhead: Helforge Host
The Helsmiths of Hashut get in on the Spearhead action with their own compact force of spiteful duardin – a durable and effective band known as the Helforge Host. This rough and ready detachment is led by a War Despot and contains 11 Infernal Cohort, a Dominator Engine, and a Tormentor Bombard, and also includes a Helsmiths of Hashut transfer sheet containing 450 decals.
Maggotkin of Nurgle Warscroll Cards and Dice Set
Spend less time leafing through your battletome and more time spreading Nurgle’s wondrous gifts with a pack of 45 quick reference cards, containing all of your warscrolls and the rules needed for both the Bleak Host and Bubonic Cell Spearheads.
Then, accessorise your army with a set of 16 Maggotkin of Nurgle dice, cast in green swirled plastic with brown pips and the faction icon on the six face.

White Dwarf Issue 520
A new year of White Dwarf begins with all eyes converging on the 500 Worlds of Ultramar, where Captain Titus and his merry band fight against the murderous Necrons of Nekrosor Ammentar. In this issue, you can learn more about the upcoming supplement – which will be among us very soon – and the miniatures accompanying it, with designer interviews and commentary digging into the story behind them. We also return to the Jade Abbey for more on Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, and gaze at gorgeous army showcases from both the 41st Millennium and the Mortal Realms.
Verminslayer
Gotrek Gurnisson barges into Greywater Fastness seeking answers as to why his Fyreslayer rune is mysteriously waning in Verminslayer by David Guymer. However, finding the duardin in the stronghold's smog-choked arteries may prove far more difficult than first thought, as Skaven warlocks build a terrible device deep under the fortress’ caverns, and Gotrek begins to wonder if he might finally reach the doom that has eluded him for an age.
Verminslayer returns in a new paperback edition.
Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden
The legendary White Dwarf makes his first short novel appearance in the Mortal Realms in Grombrindal: Ancestor’s Burden by Chris Thursten, collecting the book The Maker’s Promise together with six other short stories. The ancient sky-city of Barak-Thryng is under attack by a frenzied horde of Gloomspite Gitz in search of the Bad Moon, and the whiff of Tzeentchian scheming hangs heavy in the air as the Changer of the Ways pulls strings in the shadows – a maelstrom that only Grombrindal and his Oathbreakers can navigate on their quest to lift a curse from one of their afflicted number.
This collection of stories is available to pre-order now in a new paperback edition.
Dropsite Massacre (French Edition)
Relive the infamous battle on Isstvan V that crippled entire Legions and set Horus on the path to the Siege of Terra in Dropsite Massacre by John French, a fresh retelling of these horrific events now appropriately available in a new French-language paperback edition.
