===Others===

'''Lord of Plagues:''' Blessed with a bunch of Wounds, automatic regeneration of 1 Wound per Hero Phase (not specifying whose, so he heals in your opponent's Hero Phase as well) and a decent weapon. Also projects Nurgle's Rot (non-Nurgle units within 3" take D3 Mortal Wounds on a D6-roll of 6) and as a Command Ability can make another (friendly or enemy) unit within 21" project it. Generally, you take a Lord of Plagues because he is about as non-threatening as you can get. His damage output is lacking and he moves extremely slowly. This also means that, combined with his excellent survivability, he will survive most games. Generally, if you can spare the extra points, bring a Harbinger of Decay instead.

'''Harbinger of Decay:''' Pretty damn killy and with a one-use ability that can cause extra Mortal Wounds. However, despite the mount, his Movement is stuck at 7". He makes up for that with his Command Ability, though, since he projects basically 40k's Feel No Pain to all Mortal Nurgle units within 7". Makes tough Nurgle bullshit even tougher, which is excellent for keeping your Blightkings alive that much longer. Another thing to consider: Thanks to his Mount, he has the DAEMON keyword. His mount lets makes him a useful utility hero as he can move relatively quickly to shore up Mortal Nurgle units with his command ability, while also letting him trigger Daemons' Locus abilities, as those only need a '''NURGLE DAEMON HERO''' to trigger. Let him run after your Plague Drones, which he can keep up with, and suddenly your Fly Riders deal a bunch of Mortal Wounds in addition to their normal damage.

'''Rotbringers Sorcerer:''' Pass. Even worse than the normal Sorcerer Lord in melee (which is saying something) and he gives away the awesome Oracular Visions rule for... the ability to heal/gain a Wound on 4+ after successfully casting a spell. Yeah. His unique spell is also awful, being basically a harder-to-cast, shorter ranged Arcane Bolt with a more consistent damage output. However – if you are playing in a game which allows the classic free PDF warscrolls go check out the "Nurgle Chaos Sorcerer" this mini is based on. Now you get all his abilities with one major exception: Your 3 mortal wounds spell doesn't have any range limit as it's based on sight only. Yes – you read this right: Stand at the very back on your side of the battlefield and kill those pesky artillery crew on the far end of the table on a roll of 6. Still, most of the time, you're better served with the support that a Nurgle-marked Chaos Sorcerer Lord from the Slaves to Darkness can dish out.
