Plaguebearer Icon Bearer – Daemonic Banner of Nurgle

The banner rises above the fog of rot long before the horde becomes visible. Among the crawling ranks of Plaguebearers there is sometimes one creature tasked with carrying a daemonic icon of Nurgle. The symbol drips with corruption, acting as a focus for the foul energies that hold the daemon host together. Where the banner stands, the servants of decay gather. These icon bearers do not lead with speed or strategy. Instead they move steadily at the centre of the swarm, their presence strengthening the tide of corruption as the plague host spreads across the battlefield. For modelling projects, a banner bearer like this adds a clear focal point to a Plaguebearer unit. The tall icon, diseased details, and grotesque ornamentation make it stand out among the shambling ranks of Nurgle’s daemon infantry while reinforcing the theme of unstoppable decay.
