Myphitic Blight-hauler

The Myphitic Blight-haulers are light daemon engines that lope to war on articulated tracks, hunting enemy armour in packs of three. Swarms of daemon-flies gather about their reeking hulls, thickening into a living shield against incoming fire.

Resembling a Foetid Bloat-drone stripped of its turbines and set upon a trio of grinding track-units, the Myphitic Blight-hauler is a light daemon engine built to lend the Death Guard mobile fire support. Heavy weapons jut from its carapace, most often a multi-melta paired with a missile launcher, giving the machine the reach and the punch to hunt battle tanks and crack open fortifications at close to middling range.

The daemon bound within each Blight-hauler is a fawning, hound-like thing, loyal to its masters and eager to obey. Left to their own devices these engines seek out one another's company, bonding by instinct and hunting as a pack, running down fleeing quarry with a predator's remorseless drive. For this reason they are seldom fielded alone, and appear most often in trios the Legion calls tri-lobes, three being a number holy to Grandfather Nurgle.

There is a further and stranger gift to the Blight-hauler's presence. The foul miasma that pours from its vents draws dense clouds of daemon-flies, and in the creature's vicinity these swarms grow so thick that they form a droning, living barrier, fouling the enemy's aim and turning aside shots that would otherwise find their mark. Wreathed in flies and wedded to the hunt, the tri-lobes lope ever forward in search of prey.
