			== Tamurkhan's Fall ==
			The greatest hurdle that faced the Maggot Lord was underestimating the Empire's [[wikipedia:Gun\|plot armor]]. However, his demise is considered to be partially fall of Sayl The Faithless who misled him to besiege the city of Piedtorf. Because they sacked the wrong city, it gave enough time for the Empire to counter-attack and prepare their forces to defend their border.

			Many people consider that the fall doesn't lie in Sayl's treachery but in Tamurkhan's own simple-minded naive nurlge-like brain as a parasite that lacks tactics or actual layers that you would find let's say, in an onion.

			Tamurkhan was added in the same DLC as [[Sayl the Faithless]]. He has abilities and mechanics that imititate the original storyline of him invading Nuln, such as summoning great chieftans and having access to Kazyk the Befouled and other. However, he has no access to Sayl and [[Chaos Dwarfs\|Drazhoath the Ashen]] as they are already Legendary Lords leading an independent faction.

			He has ability to heal himself by damaging a dying Lord which imitates his parasitic nature. He has less health than Khu'gath.{{Chaos-Champions}}

	Tamurkhan's moniker is no mere affectation; thanks to a unique gift from Papa Nurgle, his true form is a pestilent, slime-dripping maggot-thing the size of a human child, which can (and must for him to survive) bore into living victims and devour their guts, then take control of the corpse as a secondary skin. Through this manner, he has achieved a twisted immortality, allowing him to fight inside a corpse-host, then attack and possess his opponent (or a living ally, if shot down from afar) to keep on fighting when it is destroyed.		Tamurkhan's moniker is no mere affectation; thanks to a unique gift from Papa Nurgle, his true form is a pestilent, slime-dripping maggot-thing the size of a human child, which can (and must for him to survive) bore into living victims and devour their guts, then take control of the corpse as a secondary skin. Through this manner, he has achieved a twisted immortality, allowing him to fight inside a corpse-host, then attack and possess his opponent (or a living ally, if shot down from afar) to keep on fighting when it is destroyed.

	During the events of ''Throne of Chaos'', Tamurkhan wore three corpse hosts. He participated in the battle royale that was going on between the champions of all four gods while wearing the body of some random Chaos Lord. He won the battle and forced them to serve him by single-handedly by possessing Sargath the Vain, a Chaos Champion of Slaanesh, after Sargath wrecked his previous body. Interestingly, he retains any gifts or abilities his hosts have for a period of time before they rot away (and possibly even after they should rot away), Sargath's Slaanesh gifted voice being one of the reasons he gained such a massive horde. During a successful attempt to get some Chaos Dwarfs on his side, Tamurkhan was ambushed by an Ogre tribe and took over the body of Ogre Tyrant Karaka Breakmountain after Karaka quite literally ripped Sargath's body apart - gaining Ogre auxiliaries in his army in the process. In his Sargath and Tyrant forms (and presumably countless more before) he rode Bubebolos, greatest of the [[Toad Dragon]]s.

	Soon he invaded the Empire to claim the Throne of Chaos by claiming Nuln for Chaos. Originally his plan was to launch a surprise attack by using the Chaos Dwarfs to reduce its walls to ruin, as the defenders wouldn't be expecting chaos forces to have good siege equipment, but he [[derp\|accidentally attacked its sister city and alerted Nuln to what he was going to do when he reduced it to ruin.]] Due to this Nuln was as prepared as it could be when he came after it and he wasn't able to pull off the same trick twice.

	The battle at the city wall didn't quite go in his favour, so he instead chose to rely on daemons to save the day. Doing so involved sacrificing many people as well as his Toad Dragon, but even this wasn't enough as he fell at last when he tried to take the body of [[Theodore Bruckner]] during a duel between the two, only for the Baleflame Amulet gifted to him by Magisterix [[Elspeth von Draken]] to perform its deadly task: immolating both slain Imperial champion and Chaos-get abomination in one fell surge of arcane flames. Thus perished Tamurkhan, and ended his pursuit of the Throne of Chaos.		The battle at the city wall didn't quite go in his favour, so he instead chose to rely on daemons to save the day.

	Bubebolos also nicked [[Archaon\|Archaon's]] special rule, but did it better, with no attacks being able to wound him on better than a 4+, and no attacks weaker than Strength 4 can even hurt him (just in case you wanted to say "Fuck You" to those [[elves]]). He one ups the regular dragon with a better Breath attack which has an odd way of wounding: the enemy must take a Toughness test at -1 to their Toughness, and if they fail they suffer D3 wounds with no armour save allowed, giving you another ability to fuck over anybody who's Strength 3 and/or Toughness 3. Lastly, you might think Initiative 2 might leave him vulnerable for Initiative Test or die spells, but not so since if he's hit by any spell that would instantly kill him, he instead loses D6 wounds - given that he has 10, it means he'll still live quite a long while.

In fact, if an assassin didn't try to kill him, it's possible that he would have stayed meditating forever.		'''Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord''' is a [[Warriors of Chaos\|Chaos Lord]] dedicated to [[Nurgle]] in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]. He is the titular character of [[Forge World]]'s [[Tamurkhan: Throne of Chaos]] campaign book, and claims to be one of the four sons of the Great Kurgan, a Warrior who at one point united all of the tribes and forged a mighty empire. This was well before the time of [[Sigmar]] and even [[Ulric]], which would mean Tamurkhan is FUCKING OLD; this could explain his bad habit of sitting around not doing shit for an entire month, while his armies grow bored and his enemies prepare their armies. In fact, if an assassin didn't try to kill him, it's possible that he would have stayed meditating forever.

	Tamurkhan's moniker is no mere affectation; thanks to a unique gift from Papa Nurgle, his true form is a pestilent, slime-dripping maggot-thing the size of a human child, which can (and must for him to survive) bore into living victims and devour their guts, then take control of the corpse as a secondary skin. Through this manner, he has achieved a twisted immortality, allowing him to fight inside a corpse-host, then attack and possess his opponent (or a living ally, if shot down from afar) to keep on fighting when it is destroyed.
