Sloppity Bilepipers are a type of Herald of Nurgle, that perfectly sum up the repugnant jollity of the Plague God. Essentially a Nurglite [[Harlequin]].

	The Sloppity Bilepipers have a ridiculous name, and are ridiculous enough to match: they're jesters that spread a disease that can make you laugh yourself to death, Joker-style. The disease itself is called the Chortling Murrain, and the Heralds are themselves also the victims and carriers of the disease. Any Plaguebearer that is deemed incompetent is turned into one as a punishment; when the Herald dies, their bowls are ripped out to become a musical instrument for the next Sloppity Bilepiper to use. They'd be right at home in the [[~~Mordheim\|~~Carnival of Chaos]].

	In 40k these guys were the second hardest thing to kill right behind Plague Marines, but in 7th edition changed them up a bit. They're not nearly as durable, but they're a lot cheaper, and gain shrouded, giving them staying power when in cover comparable to the old version. They still excel at holding objectives, especially those in cover (2+ cover save in ruins, without having to go to ground), but are otherwise a mixed bag. They are 9 point infantry that can literally kill '''''ANYTHING''''' in the game, but that doesn't change the fact that small groups of them struggle in combat against guardsmen.

	In 8th Edition these blokes are even more shit. They've lost Shrouded, which has been replaced with Cloud of Flies, definitely not nearly as useful as it only provides a -1 to-hit modifier for enemy attacks and only if there are 20 or more Plaguebearers in the unit. Similar to AoS except it's -1 for both melee and shooting attacks. While they have the usual 5+ Invulnerability and Disgustingly Resilient (5+ FNP) they are only T4 with 1 wound. The good news is [[Daemon Weapon#Plaguesword\|Plagueswords]] allow you to reroll '''any''' failed wound rolls (tho again this is a nerf from previous incarnations), and Daemonic Icons can be interesting as rolling a 1 on any Morale test lets you add D6 additional Plaguebearers to the unit.

	9th edition has fucked them really hard. Like a messy turd, plaguebearers are little different with their T5 W2 stats plus usually-weak 5/4 daemonic save. On top of that, they have two attacks and autowound on 6s to hit. Unfortunately, having a second wound means they cannot resurrect from their own Warp Storm ability. They've lost disgusting resilience, so good luck keeping alive along with their low leadership. Worth noting that despite having a movement of 5, due to advance rolls and deep strike plague bearers are extremely Mobile and easy to drop wherever you want, so they at least have easy board control. Unfortunately, it’s more efficient to run Horrors due to having 1 wound and being able to do more splits from warp regen.		9th edition has fucked them really hard.

	'''Plaguebearers''' are the most common of [[Nurgle]]'s lesser daemons, though they are not the only ones. Because [[nurgling]]s weren't tall enough to hurt big things or smart enough to count diseases, Papa [[Nurgle]] decided to give his most well-behaved kids arms, legs, rusted swords and big brains for numbering sores, pustules and festering wounds. They sit at tables counting and naming all sorts of disgusting things and unlike most of Nurgle's [[daemon]]s, they are somber and focused on their work, and even in battle they incessantly count the number of people they've killed. They represent the futility of mankind's obsession with bringing order from chaos. They document the gifts of Nurgle, and the constant droning chant of their findings inflicts the diseases described within the chant on all who hear it. Your average plaguebearer (judging from the models and artwork featuring them) is almost nine feet tall and looks like the corpse of a drowned human with almost skeletal limbs, two-toed feet (or three-toed feet), a horn (or three), ~~and~~ a single eye (or three, but only if arranged like Nurgle's symbol).

	Uniquely among daemons, plaguebearers are formed from the souls of mortals, specifically, from the victims of Nurgle's Rot. As the victim grows physically sicker, his soul begins to decay as well, forming a monstrous pod-like structure in Nurgle's garden which breaks open to form a new plaguebearer as soon as the victim either accepts Nurgle's "gifts" or succumbs to the disease… whichever comes first.
