== Description ==
Whilst other Great Unclean Ones work to spread the plagues already extant, Ku'gath, the Plaguefather, is fascinated by the breeding of new and virulent life. Ku'gath aims to one day breed a contagion that can infect the Gods themselves. The Plaguefather rides upon a massive palanquin bedecked with alchemical paraphernalia: vials full of seething powder, flasks of indescribable liquid and hessian sacks stuffed to bursting with Nurglings. This great bulk is held aloft by a carpet of straining Nurglings, and Ku'gath is attended on by countless others, all bred from the Plaguefather's pox vats.

== Strategy ==
Ku'gath serves as an artillery piece, able to chuck explosive Nurglings toward enemies from great distances. With the Necrotic missiles weapon, Ku'gath can chuck multiple nurglings at once. Ku'gath suffers from a very slow speed, making him vulnerable to missile fire should he get in range. Ku'gath also serves as a hardy melee combatant. With over 14k health, Ku'gath can endure in combat for long periods of time. With a fair bit of melee power under his belt, Ku'gath can hold his own, and dish out a formidable amount of damage in Melee. Ku'gath can also summon a swarm of explosive nurglings. These can be used to even the odds in a melee combat should he be overwhelmed. Ku'gath can also gain an ability that allows him to deal area damage while in melee, making him even more of a threat to any who dare get close.
