Despicable Abomination

 


 Ebolai, a mighty anti-hero serving the plague god Nurgle, was responsible for that monstrosity. The Despicable Abomination, as it was named by Lord Admiral Nakamura, is a super dreadnought of prodigious proportions and is extremely deadly. Slow and plodding, like many servants of the god of decay, the ship is heavily armed with a phlethora of weapons, chief among them massive Macro Cannon  batteries. In comparison, the plasma cannon batteries are long ranged, and add power at long range. Fighter and bomber squadrons to balance the slow speed of the Abomination are based in dorsal and side hangars, normally used to pound enemy escorts to make way for the mothership to deal with the enemies capital ships.  Several unholy weapons are also aboard. The festering torpedo tubes fire blobs of horrible projectiles, known as plague torpedoes. They pack no standard warheads, but spread venom and deadly gases in the target ship and the walls themselves are infected, killing crew and spawning plague beast to ravage among the helpless sailors.  The massive bridge construct is described as a plague tower by captured hit-and-run crews from that ship. It contains the essence of a greater daemon, they say, and from it, great cloud of pest and plague are blown into space, disrupting targeting sensors for whatever reason.  Despicable Abomination was recently sighted in the Cerberus sector, but only accompanying ships are known to actually participate in a battle. It is believed that Ebolai uses that ship as a mobile headquarters, directing his fleets from there and transporting   reinforcing troops to invaded planets.

Special Rules:  Voice of Chaos is a huge and ponderous vessel, so it cannot use the 'Come to a new Heading' special order.

Plague Tower
The bridge of the Abomination is a rotten pillar which holds the essence of a greater daemon of Nurgle. The ship is therefore protected by a cloud of pest and plague and all enemy weapons battery 
fire directed towards it gets a negative column-shift. Enemy ships within 15cms of the Abomination are treated as having a blast marker in contact with it's base facing the Nurgle ship.

Plague Torpedoes
Treated as normal torpedoes, however if a torpedo hits and causes damage to a ship roll a d6, on a 6 the plague has started to spread threw the ship. If more then 1 torpedo causes an outbreak, treat a single hit, multiple hits do not further or increase the effects of the plague. Roll a d6 at the end of every end phase, on another 6 a point of damage is cause to the ship. If the infected ship can go 3 turns without rolling a 6, the plague has been contained and has no further effect, barring being hit by another plague torpedo.
