The Maggot Host in Immortal Empires
Choose Nurgle and the Maggot Host. Tamurkhan's Immortal Empires starting area is the Plains of Zanbaijin in K'datha. His Realm of Chaos campaign begins at the Writhing Fortress in the Blood Marshes and has objectives separate from the Ursun story.
The northern starting area makes the next destination a real choice. Consider the route to your chosen enemies and the reinforcements you can bring along it. A distant conquest is harder to sustain if the recruitment pool at home cannot replace the troops doing the fighting.
Dominance, Fealty and chieftains
Tamurkhan wins Dominance through battles, then spends it on recruiting chieftains, using their abilities and drawing on their troops. Fealty grows through actions each chieftain favours. These followers broaden what his Nurgle army can recruit.
Read a chieftain's preferred actions before choosing the next war. Pursuing several unrelated demands at once can scatter your armies. Match a follower's ambitions to a front you can actually support, then use the new troops to fill a gap in your force.
Tamurkhan, Bubebolos and Kayzk
Tamurkhan fights in the body of the Ogre Tyrant Karaka Breakmountain and can ride the Toad Dragon Bubebolos. He brings heavy melee pressure to the army; Kayzk the Befouled supplies a mounted fighter who can support charges.
Let Plaguebearers hold an engagement while the larger attackers commit where they have room to fight. Keep hostile missile units occupied and watch for enemy reinforcements reaching the flank. Even a durable lord needs the surrounding army to control the rest of the battle.
The host, the pack, and the other Nurgle lords
Tamurkhan and Kayzk the Befouled need Tamurkhan – Thrones of Decay. Immortal Empires opens in the Plains of Zanbaijin in K'datha. The Realm of Chaos opens at the Writhing Fortress in the Blood Marshes. Chieftains, Dominance, and Fealty are how the Maggot Host grows. Ku'gath’s plagues and Epidemius’s tally do not move with him.
He is a melee lord on Bubebolos, the Toad Dragon, with an Ogre’s body around the maggot that rules it. The lore page separates that creature from the sandbox. A chieftain you recruit is a campaign choice. It is not a page from someone else’s ending.
