Background
- For more background information see: Legion of Azgorh
- Background for the 2015 Compendium
In ancient days, the great horde of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord swept out of the Northern Wastes despoiling all before it. Great slaughter it brought to many lands as Tamurkhan sought the Throne of Chaos, but at last was he felled in a cataclysmic battle, betrayed and defeated before the gates of the city of Nuln.
- Background for the 2018 Compendium:
Lead by the grotesque warlord Tamurkhan, the mortal and daemonic servants of Nurgle sweep across the Mortal Realms, sowing the seeds of plague and corruption in the name of their patron.
Tamurkhan's Horde is a vast conglomeration of mortal and daemonic warriors, servants all to the Plague Father, and bound to the will of Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord. Such is Tamurkhan's loyalty that the god of disease saw fit to plant a piece of his soul within the Realm of Chaos, allowing him to be regrown and resurrected after the destruction of the world-that-was. This favoured champion has repaid his patron by rampaging across the Mortal Realms, delivering rot and ruin to the unfaithful.
