Blightlord Terminators are relentless and unstoppable, elite Death Guard warriors bound forever to mutated suits of [[Terminator Armour_#Cataphractii Pattern|Cataphractii armour]]. They stalk forward with guns blazing, mercilessly mowing down rank after rank of the enemy. [[Combi-weapon|Combi-weapons]], [[Plague Spewer|Plague Spewers]] and [[Blight Launcher|Blight Launchers]] add to the fusillade, reducing infantry and vehicles to slop. At the last, the Terminators break into a lumbering charge, hefting huge weapons with which to hack and bludgeon the enemy. Flails of corruption entangle weapons and limbs in sizzling, corrosive barbs. Bubotic axes and baleswords tear ragged wounds into which a thousand poxes seep. By the time the Blightlord Terminators stomp on in search of new victims, nothing remains of their enemies but maggot-riddled corpses. Combining the protective powers of Cataphractii war plate with the diseased resilience bestowed by Nurgle's gifts, Blightlord Terminators are terrifyingly hard to kill. They take great pride in this fact, advancing contemptuously into the teeth of the fiercest firestorms, mocking their enemies' attempts to lay them low. This arrogance grates upon their Death Guard brothers, but the Blightlords make such exceptional shock troops that it is overlooked - or even condoned - by their masters. Most vectoriums include at least one band of Blightlord Terminators for breach assaults, boarding actions and sudden teleport strikes, and it is a rare ship of the Plague Fleets that takes to the tides of the warp without a complement of Blightlords aboard.{{Fn|1a}}
