Their are four greater daemons, one for each of the Chaos Gods: Khorne Unlike other daemons they must first possess a mortal body in order to manifest themselves outside of the warp. They are mighty entities and avatars of their gods, often charged with leading daemonic incursions out of the warp and into the material realm. Unwary foes are often dragged down by the murderous wave of shrieking, biting daemons that billows forth from the body of a Great Unclean One the instant it is attacked.The Greater Daemons of Chaos are the most powerful of all the servants of the Chaos Gods. A Great Unclean One looks upon this cackling horde with munificence and paternal love, and Nurglings are quick to defend their вЂњfatherвЂќ when he is threatened.

Even the rotting hulks of their bodies are colonized by Nurglings these tiny creatures dwell in the burst carbuncles and rank wounds that cover a Great Unclean One, and particularly love to nest within its great, rent belly, burrowing deep inside the teaming intestines that hang in long, gore-slicked loops from its body. Great Unclean Ones dote on these scabrous sprites, bouncing them on their knees and scratching behind their malformed ears. Great Unclean Ones are always accompanied by вЂ“ and infested with вЂ“ thousands of gibbering, diminutiveВ Nurglings, pint-sized daemons of mischief and malice who caper about madly, tongues lolling, their fat bodies supported by improbably spindly legs. The thriving colonies of bacteria gestating within their bloated bodies grant unholy regenerative abilities to their hosts, sealing gaping wounds in seconds and expanding ever outward, until the creatures that were once men remain little more than disease-wracked shells, foetid human cauldrons of pox and pestilence. Perversely, those who embrace NurgleвЂ™s foul contagions are made stronger by them, their ravaged bodies inured to pain, their rotting forms all but impervious to greater harm. Wracked by disease, bloated by corpse gasses, stripped of their loved ones and surrounded by the dead and dying, many plague thralls give themselves over to their suffering, venerating and worshipping the very ailments that brought them low. Those that survive the wave of desolation that accompanies a Great Unclean One often become its faithful slaves. Great Unclean Ones are beings of decay and entropy made manifest, and before them the works of man are but castles made of sand, perched on the edge of a storm-wracked sea. Through it all waddles the beaming, bile-slicked plague-father, bestowing his blessings, borne along on a living tide of chortling, chattering Nurglings. If an incursion is left unchecked, whole worlds can go dark: their populations reduced by six-sevenths, their feeble leaders filthy and raving, their very cities collapsing around them. Their appearances on the mortal plane are heralded by disease and desolation on a planetary scale. Even surrounded by the pitiful moaning of the sick and dying, they smile with pure-hearted benevolence, and their long, pus-coated tongues dangle from toothy, face-splitting grins. They are gregarious and even sentimental in nature, and hold their followers dear, even referring to them as their вЂњChildrenвЂќ, and taking an obvious pride in their appearance and endearing behavior. In fact the opposite is true, and the daemons are motivated by all the trivial human enthusiasms which drive the living. Frequently they carry a blade known as aВ Plague SwordВ вЂ“ these massive, rusted blades are said to be dipped in the foul pus and contagion at the base of NurgleвЂ™s throne.Дespite their completely bloated and putrid appearance, Great Unclean Ones are neither deathlike or morbid in character. Their suppurating, sore-covered bodies are host to every disease ever catalogued by man or daemon, and their stench can be detected from miles away.В In combat, Great Unclean Ones wield enormous blades and maces of iron, crude, corroded cleavers and immense plague flails - each one dripping with pestilence. Their horrific girth is supported by two impossibly small and atrophied-looking legs, their swollen heads are crowned by enormous stag-like antlers.

Great Unclean Ones typically take the form of gargantuan, immensely fat humanoids, hot intestines dribbling out of huge tears in their enormous bellies. Many opponents cannot stomach to look at a Great Unclean One, let alone fight one. Great Unclean Ones can endure tremendous amounts of damage before being felled. In form they are massive and bloated with disease and decay, and their necrotic and boil-covered flesh is rent, where their organs spill out, hanging across their huge girth. Great Unclean OnesВ are theВ Greater DaemonsВ ofВ Nurgle.
