Death's Heads (Weapon)
Death's Heads are a type of Daemonic Gift of Nurgle which allows the user to project the diseased heads of Rot Fly victims.[1]
This weapon is designed by the Daemons of Nurgle themselves, which craft them from the severed heads of fallen victims. Falling from above onto enemy units, these grenades explode with a wet, meaty pop, spraying their victims with pus, disease, bacteria and all manner of other contagious filth. [2]
Foul Blightspawns have learnt to craft their own versions of these grenades, calling their invention Unholy Death's Head Grenades. These desiccated heads are hurled at the enemy, blasting them with contagious gas, slime, flash and bone. Though they create less shrapnel than a normal Blight Grenade, the infected by them explode in a contagious cloud or quickly dissolve into infectious mulch.[2]
