Stream of Corruption (Signature)
Casting Value: 7+

The Lore of Nurgle: When a Daemon casts a spell from the Lore of Nurgle that causes one or more unsaved wounds, choose a unit of Plaguebearers or Nurglings within 12" of the caster, and roll a D6 for each Wound caused. If it is a unit of Plaguebearers, add 1 model to the unit for each result of 5 or 6. If it is a unit of Nurglings, add 1 base to the unit for each result of 6. Models are added, one at a time, to the back rank. If the back rank is full at any point, or the unit has a single rank of at least five models, the next model starts a new back rank. Models that cannot be placed (because there isn't enough room, or you do not have sufficient models) are lost. Models created in this way have no upgrades and do not award additional victory points.

6. Plague Wind
Casting Value: 15+
Plague Wind is a magical vortex that uses the small round template. Once the template is placed, the player then nominates the direction in which the Plague Wind will move. To determine how many inches the template moves, roll an artillery dice and multiply the result by the caster's Wizard level. If the result of the artillery dice is a misfire, centre the template on the caster instead and roll a scatter dice; the template moves a number of inches equal to the caster's Wizard level, in the direction shown by the scatter dice (if you roll a Hit!, the template remains where it is). Any model touched by the template must pass a Toughness test or suffer a single automatic Wound, with no armour saves allowed. In subsequent turns, the Plague Wind travels in a random direction and moves a number of inches equal to the roll of an artillery dice (if a misfire is rolled, the Plague Wind dissipates and is removed). The Wizard can infuse Plague Wind with more power, so that it uses the large round template instead. If he does so, the casting value is increased to 25+.
