Editing Noxious Blightbringer (section)

== Overview ==

Every Plague Company counts Noxious Blightbringers amongst its ranks, but they are especially prevalent in the vectoriums of the 3rd. Such warbands as the Putrid Choir or the Dolorous Gnaw rarely take to the battlefield without two or three Noxious Blightbringers to herald them into battle, while Lord Gothax always has seven Blightbringers accompanying him.

The Blightbringer comes equipped with the iconic cursed plague bell (now known as a Tocsin of Misery), a [[Plasma Pistol|plasma pistol]] which can be supercharged and some blight and krak grenades, and a spikey bell in his hands that he uses to bash people with. The [[Fluff]] surrounding the Tocsins of Misery states that they are capable of generating [[Sonic Weaponry|sonic waves that bring pain and disorientation to the enemy]], but if that was the case, it would have made sense to turn this into a ranged weapon with the sonic prefix, along with a leadership debuff factory.

The Dark Imperium novel portrays the bell's effects as inflicting immediate crippling depression on all loyalists within earshot, requiring a librarian to psychically shield their captain, so he can duel the Blightbringer while the rest of the force is incapacitated by the knell.
