| Foetid Bloat-drones are like the [[Blight Drone|Blight Drone's]] nasty little brother. A floating Daemon Engine of [[Nurgle]] that hunts its prey with a malign intelligence, the Foetid Bloat-drones are one ugly motherfucker even by the standards of the Plaguefather. Suffice to say they are as heavily armed as they are tough to take down with the standard weaponry being a Plaguespitter (Silly name but despite looking like a Lascannon, it is an assault D6, S 6 weapon) and the equally unfortunately named Plague Probe (Gee, you can just guess the amount of [[/d/|sexual]] [[Slaanesh|innuendos]] [[Rule 34|created]] [[NSFW|via]] [[Nurgle]] [[Anal Circumference|anal]] [[FATAL|probing]] eh?). Despite what appearances (And Imperial propaganda) might suggest, the Foetid Bloat-drone is deceptively fast (Well, as fast as a Nurglite Daemon Engine can go) with a movement at 10" at optimum health. It is also quite accurate with its singular cyclopean 'eye' being used as a kill-scan that can mark targets through various wave lengths and imagery. | |

| The [[Daemon|Daemons]] that possess Foetid Bloatdrones are more [[Rot Fly|aggressive and spiteful]] than most Daemons of Nurgle. Some are so wilful that they cannot be entrusted with ranged weaponry at all, their desire to smash themselves into the enemy ranks all too evident. These rebellious engines are instead fitted with a goofy looking devices known as Fleshmowers, which as you can already tell, turns the Daemon Engine into a bloody [[Herp|lawnmower.]] The mashed remains of flesh-mower victims make excellent fuel for those Bloat-drones armed with Plaguespitters or Heavy Blight Launchers, and so the two variants often form parasitic war packs.

| The Bloat-drone is a Daemon Engine that has the 5+ invulnerable save (Thanks to the daemonic rule) as well as the disgustingly resilient rule which makes it a seriously tough motherfucker to bring down. Both its weapons (The Plaguespitter and Plague Probe) can re-roll wounds for 1, making it quite the threat to normal infantry. However, don't expect it to do too well against dedicated tank destroyers which will fuck up your precious daemon engine in a few turns if rolls prove to be in the opponents favor.

| However, the Bloat-drone do have a special ability called '''Putrid Explosion''' which, if the scenario in which the daemon engine suffers critical existence failure, a role of a D6 must be initiated before the model is removed from the battlefield. Any successful roles on a 4+ would cause it to explode and any unit within 7" of the daemon engine would be forced to take a wound of just 1. Although the ability is rendered pointless if it is against a [[Mechanicus|particularly]] [[Imperial Guard|shooty]] [[Tau|army.]]
