Editing Foul Blightspawn (section)

== Overview ==

The Foul Blightspawn's breath rattles through pus-slick tubes as he cranks the rusted handle of his <s>fire hose</s> malignant churn, bellows wheezing and plague slop roiling in the incubatum upon his back. Usually most foes stare in bewilderment at this [[Derp|''strange'']] performance. Although the smartest ones usually opt for higher ground so they can take advantage over the weapon's short range whilst the dumbasses charge towards the Blightspawn like [[Stupid|fucking idiots.]]

Foul Blightspawn rise from the Plague Marine ranks, typically those warriors who feel joy in watching their victims <s>suffer</s> '''ELATE!''' in the grip of Nurgle’s plagues. Cruelty festers in their souls, manifesting itself in ever more grotesque physical degeneration. One of their many mutations sees their eyes dribble from their sockets as black slime, leaving the Blightspawn to ‘see’ in shades of warp energy. Their mouths twist into fanged, puckered spouts, and a wretched stench seeps from their pores, so foul that it causes [[Luke|even Plague Marines to balk.]] All the while, forbidden secrets of Nurgle’s plaguecraft form in the Blightspawns’ minds, compelling them toward alchemy and the creation of disease.

When such manifestations occur, the new Blightspawn is sent to the disease factories of the [[Plague Planet]]. The foul gears and pistons of the machinery are forcibly driven into his guts, and an incubator is sutured to his armor, never to be removed. On the [[Plague Planet]] the Foul Blightspawn gather to learn from the eldest and foulest of their number, beings so bloated with corruption that they have taken root amidst the factories like obscene toxic fungi, akin hilariously enough to those of the [[Fungus#40K Ork Fungi|Snotrooms]] of [[Ork]] ecology. When the Foul Blightspawn rejoin their warbands, they bring their new alchemical lore with them. Inside their incubators are batches of their latest, finest work, ready to be unleashed or further refined by the [[Biologus Putrifier]]s.
