On many ships, Blightlords act as an elite garrison, standing ready to defend the bridge, magazines or enginariums at a moment's notice. During void battles, [[Plague Fleet]] captains bring their ships in close to an enemy vessel, allowing massed formations of Blightlords to [[Teleport]] directly aboard. Like parasites hatching in the body of a luckless victim, the Death Guard Terminators begin their destructive rampage. Bulling their way down narrow corridors and corroding through sealed bulkheads, the Blightlords mercilessly crush the ship's defenders while spreading their corruption throughout its decks.{{Fn|1a}}
In battle, Blightlord Terminators wield a variety of foul weapons such as [[Balesword]]s, [[Flail of Corruption|Flails of Corruption]], [[Bubotic Axe]]s, [[Combi-Weapon]]s, [[Reaper Autocannon]], [[Plague Spewer]], or [[Blight Launcher]].{{Fn|2}} Every Plague Marine regardless of preference will carry a [[Plague Knife]].{{Fn|4}}
Leaders of Blightlord Terminator squadrons are called '''Blightlord Champions'''.{{Fn|1b}}
