He is equipped with flak armour and is armed with a laspistol and carries two Wargear cards which are force rod and the throne of Nurgle. The High Priest of Nurgle is a level 2 psyker and as such gets 2 psychic powers. Rancidguts has been gifted with the Throne of Nurgle which is mounted on his captured Leman Russ, Plaguefury. Rancidguts has been the High Priest of Nurgle for more than eight hundred years having risen from a lowly cult member to his powerful position. The War Altar is a unique vehicle and as such cannot be further enhanced by the addition of further vehicle cards. The War Altar can only be included in the Chaos army if it includes at least two squads of Nurgle orientated troops (Nurgle Space Marines and/or squads led by a Champion of Nurgle, not Daemons however). A captured Leman Russ is a particular favourite although any vehicle the cultists have will suffice. Most commonly, Nurgle's followers utilise tanks so that the Priest gains a measure of protection from the vehicle's imposing firepower. ![]() ![]() On the war torn battlefields of the 41st Millennium, such War Altars are found built onto the backs of vehicles to allow the priests of Nurgle to spread disease and pestilence over a wide area. His gaze will dwell a while on such constructions and as such they act as a beacon to all followers and worshippers of Nurgle. Unique amongst the Chaos Gods, Nurgle takes great amusement in the petty effigies that are constructed in his honour.
