====Tome of Decay====
*''Plague Marine'' - CSM. Papa Nurgle's favorite rotting pus-sacks. Immune to the negative effects of all diseases and can use a special Reaction to take a Toughness test that lets them ignore the damage of the next hit by the number of successes on the test. (If this completely nullifies the attack, they gain Fear (1) against the attacker.) They can also spend infamy to release a cloud of smog and flies that hurts anything within 10 m. They obviously begin play aligned to Nurgle.
**Hilariously broken if one chooses to [[Rules lawyer|exploit]] their immunities. [[RAW]] they are immune to the effects all disease, toxins and poisons unless they choose to accept them. Poisons include drugs, so a Plague Marine can constantly take drugs and choose to gain the positive affect while ignoring the downsides. Slaanesh and Nurgle tag teams are apparently very effective.
*''Warpsmith'' - CSM unaligned. If you really felt left out by the Heretek's ability to be the tech-guy (and thus remove the need to protect a flimsy little bag of flesh), this'll be right up your alley. They can spend Infamy to fuck up any tech in their general vicinity, lead cybernetic Minions more effectively, and gain bonuses when creating Daemon Engines. And seeing as this book comes with the rules for creating daemon Engines like Maulerfiends, you can get some pretty awesome minions... Death to the False Omnissiah!
*''Veteran of the Long War'' - CSM unaligned or aligned as wished. Anything goes type can duplicate a special power from other CSM archetypes at character creation if their alignments are identical, which lets you do some funky things, like making a lesser psyker type. Also gain one of their gear. Can generate fear in the souls of his hated enemies and inflicts extra damage when attacking them.
* ''Writhing World Sorcerer-King'' - Human aligned to Nurgle. A hideous psyker that always counts as unbound with bonuses when they use Nurgle powers. They are also made of worms, which they can summon as a minion.
* ''Death Priest of Mire''- Human aligned to Nurgle. Can boost up weapons with extra qualities and eat corpses for extra toughness. Also able to destroy attacking melee weapons. Overall an enchanter/warrior type.
* ''Plaguemeister''- Human aligned to Nurgle. Basically a plague medic with a vast lore-based knowledge. Able to heal better and of course infect others, although the bonus healing has a chance of side effects, such as getting infected with various diseases, becoming possessed, becoming highly toxic for seven hours or a chance at getting increased toughness.
* ''Daemon Prince'' - Basically if you wanted to keep playing after achieving the win condition. Comes in various flavors but has to be aligned. If your GM enforces this rule, he's officially off of your Christmas card list.
