In Warmhammer 40,000 Boltgun, Malum Caedo came up against some of the perilous forces of the pestilent agents of Nurgle, such as Nurglings, Plague Toads and even a Great Unclean One. Blessed with resilience and renewal, the forces of Nurgle return in Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 to plague the progress of both Malum and Nyra.
And this time, there are some brand new Nurgle foes to overcome.
As you venture through the muck and mire of one of a Nurgle-infested Deathworld, you’ll have to cleave through regenerating swarms of Poxwalkers that rise out of the ground. The sheer volume of rotting bodies will take significant firepower to chew through before their clawing hands, tentacle limbs, and gnashing teeth reach you.
Whilst Poxwalkers shamble towards you, Plague Marines prefer a more ranged approach with their deadly weapons.
Plague Marines are the foot soldiers of the Death Guard, a traitor legion dedicated to the will of Nurgle. Their bloated bodies are clad in rusting armour covered in boils and slime, and the rejuvenating powers of their god make them extremely resilient to damage. They are armed with deadly guns, including plague belchers firing volleys of infectious slime, creating hazardous zones.
Even more powerful than their heretical brother Plague Marines are the Blightlord Terminators. They are inexorable in their advances, their decaying bodies encased within a tomb of Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour.
With a mixed loadout, Blightlord Terminators are a threat at both range and melee. One of the deadliest weapons they wield is a flail of corruption, which causes eruptions of corrupting energy to spew from the ground around them.
Nurgle will return alongside Tzeentch in Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2. But Malum and Nyra will also need to face the forces of Khorne and Slaanesh, which you can read about in our previous Steam updates.
