The Reaper is busy. Of course, he doesn’t take something like lost territory with grace. Two Bloodreapers astride mechanical mountains race off in the direction of his brothers and the Exile himself brims with want for battle. The coppery, sulfur-like smell that clings to him is more potent.

His eyes cut to N’kari, narrowing.

“ Traitors only deserve death.” Skarbrand growled. “ You should snip his head from his shoulders and drink his spirit. The only good turncoat is a dead one.”

“But what of information did he share? How did the enemy get it from him?” N'kari parries. “We must know so we can learn and prevent more in future instances.”

“Isn’t that what you have me for, to cover all the angles your Khornate mind refuses to see? Traitors come in all forms. Those who do for petty gains or to spare their own lives? You are absolutely right. But those who do for ideology can be the most loyal, if you can redirect that fervor.”

Vertic Blightsire

Species: Great Unclean One (Greater Daemon)

Patron God: Nurgleth

Faction: The Farmhands

Realm: Mortal World / Realms of Chaos

Domicile: Various (Nomadic)

Height: 35′1″ / 10.1 meters

Weight: 14 Tons / 12700.6 kg

Voice: Darin De Paul

Vertic Blightsire is a Great Unclean One, a Greater Daemon sent upon the mortal world to deliver Grandfather Nurgle’s love onto the various races that live there. While most Great Unclean Ones aim for critical mass, Vertic enjoys tormenting those mortals who live out simple lives on the countryside, tending to their crops and livestock. He calls it “tying up loose ends”, content to catch little fish while his poxbrothers devastate cities and metropolises. The truth is, Vertic enjoys the countryside…and tormenting every creeping creature on it with his maladies.

Blightsire is rather obscure in comparison to famous rotbringers like Ku’gath Plaguefather, though he does have the distinction of being the sire of the Bastard-King of Ice-Horn Peak, Orghotts Daemonspew. The boy has managed to gain notoriety where Vertic prefers the shadows so he can do his own thing. He had little, if anything, to do with the raising of the boy but if asked about him, will respond as any proud father would about their son’s successful exploits.

Vertic is somewhat larger than a normal Great Unclean One, despite being typical rather than exalted. Despite his relative obscurity, he does have some titles, such as The Wandering Blight, Wickmaster, or the more well known Candle-Crown. This due to the Great Unclean Ones rather symmetrical horns bearing candles of green warp-flame. It isn’t clear why he has this accoutrement, aside from it’s aesthetic appeal.

Like most Unclean Ones, Vertic is good natured and easy going, helped along by his accent. He will entertain all comers readily, unless they’re Tzeentchian, then a good portion of his jolly nature melts away into annoyance and snideness. More intelligent than he seems, Vertic is learned in morbidity, disease, and mortal physiology as most of his kin are. He has a particularly robust knowledge on animals…and how to break the species barrier with certain diseases. Vertic was the devious mind behind many zoonotic diseases, the most famous of which being Bovine Frenzy.

Daemons of Chaos: “Family” Ties

Nurglish Daemons

A family and explicit about it. They refer to Nurgle as their father and to their lesser daemons as brothers and children. Minimal infighting. Nurglish daemons can often be found in their tallybands singing songs about bubos and disease. Family connections and affection does not preclude typical daemon behavior, such as cannibalism. Emotional ties between daemons are common and Plaguekin will not only avenge their siblings, but treat for their quick and immediate restoration to physical form by offering instead the souls of their killer to Grandfather Nurgle.

Khornate Daemons

Khornate daemons regard each other as a curious mix of brother and rival. Infighting is not only common but encouraged, expected even, between Daemons of similar rank. Strong honor culture– sibling ties based on affection are rare and that affection will not preclude challenges to the death. Khornate daemons are power interested and will covet the positions of those above them in power. However, they will not use underhanded means to attain these positions. Khornate brotherhoods usually begin as honor-bound pacts and it is these agreements forged in blood and fire that inform their loyalties to one another.

Slaaneshi Daemons

Slaaneshi daemons tend to dislike one another, but this rarely results in physical infighting. Slaanesh’s kingdom is a court, one full of intrigue and gossip and every daemon is in competition with every other daemon to be favored. When violence does happen, it’s quick and discreet; most daemonettes and keepers of secrets cannot stand each other, as noted in several sources across the lore, though sisterhoods are known to happen. For instance, the two Daemonettes who discovered the killing potential of the Hellflayer. That being said, Daemonettes will viciously defend their siblings from non-Slaaneshi. In classic sibling fashion, intra-family fighting is fine, but two Slaaneshi will put aside their differences mid-fight if an foreign third party tries to intervene.

Tzeentchian Daemons

Much like the Slaaneshi, their infighting takes the form of scheming and lying. Tzeentchians acknowledging their kinship to one another, but it hardly inspires any kind of loyalty. A tzeentchian will betray a sibling to a non-daemon and only cares for it’s own power. Other Tzeentchians are rivals and threats, either distant or immediate, and only slated to be neutralized. To an extent they feel this about Tzeentch himself. Of the chaos gods, Tzeentch deals with the most traitors and turncoats. Naturally; he is the Lord of Lies, Master of Schemes and Deceit, and his children are formed of him.

oh yeah also the design for my unit captain, going with the name Merrylegs for them!

SNEEZES. And does not cover his mouth, either.

[blightsire]

Vertic is a fungal Great Unclean One and is particularly hardy among his kind of daemon. The fungoid growths act as armor plates and are clustered around his neck and back.

Nurgle’s daemons are unsubtle and where Vertic and his tallybands tread, toxic fungal growths pop up in abandon.

[blightsire]

rats family?

" Of course. And what useful little family members they are. The perfect vectors for a plague!"

[blightsire]

@vehxmence​

“Hmm?”

“ You lost, friend? This swamp is hardly any place for little birds like yourself.”

[blightsire]

“ Nonsense!” Comes the phlegm thick protest of the Great Unclean One, squinting his single, runny eyes. “ I’ve only just arrived!”

Then again he did have tendecy to doze for long periods.

“ By Nurgleth– has it really been a whole year? Who, I say, who let me sleep that long?!”

The Black Blood Host

The Blackblood Hosts is composed of that quarter of Kharneth's army stolen away by the joint effort of the Horned Rat, Malal, and the Great Beast of Chaos. The Beast is the supreme authority over the twin Books of Brass and the army of daemons detailed within, however it alots portions of the army to either of its god-vassals whilsts it focuses on reclaiming the warp and battling wits with Tzeentch.

These Khornate Daemons are little more than slaves. They fight on the same side as the New Powers, but are mere puppets to be thrown into the meat grinder against the Daemons of Ruins to preserve the vassal's own children. Most can be told apart from the Bloody Legions by the dusken tone of their skin, in stark contrast to the angry reds of Khorne's true children.

An'ggrath and Kha'rangr, two Gorelords unfortunate enough to be listed in the stolen books, lead the two legions.

[ainlifun]

Unlike other Chaos Gods, Malal does not actively prey on the transgressions of Mortals. It is daemon fear that empowers him. It is the hatred and spite felt by mortals towards daemons that fuels him. And so the Shadowbrood and Powers of Law and Order have an uneasy tolerance towards one another, mostly on the part of the Gods of Order. Cults of Malal exist everywhere, particularly in the Empire, where they hunt down and snuff out rival cults with a zeal to put even the Witch Hunters to shame.

Tolerance of these Malalian Cults varies. Some provinces actively work with them, some turn a blind eye, and others hunt down and destroy cults of Malal just as they would any other cult.

Malalian Cults are the most skilled in finding Khornate and Slaaneshi cults, the latter of which are the among the best hidden and most widely spread of the Cults of the Gods.
