Chaos Multiplayer Heroes – Plague Champion
The Plague Champion is a follower of the Dark God, Nurgle. His armor is a vessel for all manner of contagion and pestilence. Fearless and seemingly immune to pain of any kind, the powerful Plague Champion is one of three heroes that you can choose when playing as Chaos in Chaos Rising.
Many of the Plague Champion’s abilities revolve around supporting his allies in their battles or weakening enemy units. By choosing the Plague Champion, you gain the blessings of Nurgle, the Chaos god associated with disease, decay, despair, destruction, and rotting death. At shrines built to Nurgle, allied units enjoy healing benefits, including the ability to reinforce squads if you command Heretics to worship at your shrine.

The Plague Champion’s innate ability allows him to construct a Heavy Bolter Turret, capable of suppressing enemy infantry and locking down a portion of the map with its withering fire. The turret can be upgraded to a Lascannon Turret once you have reached Tier 2, making it very effective against vehicles.
