One of the many virus's that have spread thought the human Imperium is simply known as Wightus, or the Wight virus. It is these individuals that have been afflicted by the Wight virus that are drawn to the forces of Nurgle via some implanted DNA strain within the virus itself. In battle, these Wights are covered in a ball of noxious and highly explosive gases. As the virus progresses, the bodies of the infected become increasing swollen and their gas clouds can span for several metres in all directions.

SPECIAL RULES

Shambling: The Nurgle Wights are not noted for their speed and as such always count as being in Difficult Terrain (note they don't take a Wound if they roll a '1' on the Difficult Terrain and just move 1").

Independent: Each Nurgle Wight is an independent unit in their own right and may move independentally of each other. However, they don't follow the normal Independent Rules in combat and can't join other units or be joined by Indepent Characters either.

Explosive Gases: Nurgle Wights are animated corpses bathed in toxic and highly explosive gases. As such they are highly combustable. Any time they suffer a Wound, roll a D6 after resolving the effect of the Wound. On a roll of 4+ the model explodes. If the weapon being used is a Blast or uses the flamer template, it detonates on a 2+. If a Wight explodes, place the revelant template over the model and resolve hits with the following profiles:
