Sludge-Grub

What Plague Toads usually eat.

Sludge-Grub are maggots that have been mutated by the Nurgle Gellerpox plague, which has greatly increased their size and aggressiveness, as well as giving them fanged maws, stingers and acid spit. They are known to fight beside any creature that has also been infected by the Gellerpox plague. They are possibly, the lowest-ranked Daemonic beast in Nurgle's realm, yes, even lower than Plague Toads. Nevertheless, despite their appearances, they are NOT considered Daemonic beasts mind you, as they were regular animals that got Chaos'd in the process.

Overview

Swollen and grotesque, Sludge-Grubs slither from dank hiding places to batten onto their victims. Their fangs can deliver a nasty bite, but once attached the grubs are all but impossible to remove. It is dangerous to even try, for in bursting their soft bodies one risks splattering their acidic innards. The parasites can also spit small sticky globules of this acid short distances, allowing a pack of them to fell larger prey.

Crunch

Sludge-Grubs only appears in the Kill Team Specialist Game. They are slow-moving, but the only ranged normal model equipped with something other than grenades and has AP-1 on its attacks. Can roll a D6 when it's taken out of action to deal a mortal wound to its attacker but it needs a 6.

In 9th Edition, they're for annoying the enemy as you spit AP1 acid on them and bank on Splash going off to annoy others. Don't worry if they die, they can't do much else aside from explode on nearby enemies when they inevitably die.
