====Bubonic Court Lords====
[[RAW]], Nurglitch is mandatory as your army's general when using this army list, but we're sure a reasonable opponent will let you drop him for home-games.

'''Plague Lord:''' As per Clan Pestilens.

'''Plague Pontifex:''' This is the Bubonic Court's counterpart to the Grey Seer, but way cheaper; 145 to the Greys Seer's 235. Statwise, he's +1 Weapon Skill, Toughness and Attacks at the -1 Initiative penalty that's standard for Bubonic characters compared to their armybook counterparts. He can take a 2nd hand weapon (+6 pts), flail (+6 pts) or plague censer (+24 pts) and up to 100 points of magic items, and is Frenzied. The biggest downside is that he's only a level 2 [[Wizard]] who only knows Pestilent Breath and Plague, though you can bump him up a level and add Death Frenzy and a third Warpstone Token for +60 points.

'''0-1 Cauldron of a Thousand Poxes:''' This is the Bubonic Court's version of the Screaming Bell, and as such you buy this as a "steed" for a Plague Pontifex. It functions like a Screaming Bell, save for three hanges. Firstly, it's always got to be pushed by a unit of Plague Monks, who will never lose their Frenzy so long as the Cauldron is intact. Secondly, the Cauldron obviously can't be rung, so you don't have to worry about saved S7+ hits ringing it involuntarily. Thirdly, what the Cauldron does instead of ringing is let you cast Plague as a Bound Spell once in each Skaven Magic Phase, with 1-3 Power Dice to fuel it; the result of those Power Dice is the spell's Power level, and a 13 will get you Irresistible Force... but a double or a treble has the same disastrous consequences as getting one with a Screaming Bell!
