Greater Daemon Only:

power weapons that will always wound their target on a roll of 4+.

Pandemic StaffThe Pandemic Staff acts as a vessel for Grandfather Nurgles favourite contagions when they are carried from the Warp in to the real universe. The Pandemic Staff is a normal close combat weapon. Its bearer may use it in the shooting phase instead of shooting another weapon. An enemy unit within 12 can be targeted. Test to hit every model in the target unit on a roll of 4+. Hits are resolved at Strength 3 and normal saves apply.

Nurgling InfestationChampions of Nurgle are frequently accompanied by swarms of nurglings eager to feed off the akes of dead and diseased esh they trail behind them. If their host is in close combat, the nurglings will attack ercely providing their host with d6 strength 3 attacks at Initiative 3 against enemies in base contact.

Plague BannerThe plague banner is a hideous fabrication of rotting hides which ap in a pestilent wind. Not only can it function like a normal icon, but in addition, a powerful curse is held in the standard that ca be released once per battle in the owners shooting phase. Any one enemy unit with a model within 6 of the banner will take d6 wounds just as shooting with no armour or cover saves possible.

Minor Psychic Powers:Nurgles DanceThe psyker calls to the enemy, inviting them to reveal themselves and join him in Nurgles exuberant cavalcade. If a target unit within 12 is behind cover, it must make a leadership test or lose the benets of that cover for the remainder of the player turn.

NauseaThe psyker is able to invoke nausea and disorientation amongst his foes. During your enemies shooting phase, an enemy unit (not a vehicle) within LOS and 12 will be at -1 BS for this shooting phase.

Aura of DecayDuring either players assault phase, the psyker surrounds himself in lth and corruption to such an extent that his enemies have difculties engaging him. This power imposes a -1 attack penalty (minimum of 1) on all enemy models in base contact. IF the test is failed, affects friendly models instead.

except that they may not assault.
