Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord

is a Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay. In the campaign, he leads faction.
== Description ==
Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord has been known by many names, each more vile and grotesque than the last. As a powerful Chaos Lord, and one of the greatest Kurgan Champions of Nurgle in recent history, his divine patron has blessed him with the ability to burrow into almost any host, taking control of their body as if he were its puppet master. Though his reeking maggot corpse has commandeered many faces, the Ogre Tyrant Karaka Breakmountain has become a favoured host. In such a powerful body, Tamurkhan now gathers his great horde, determined to fulfil a twisted prophecy that tells of a horrific reign of terror across the Chaos Wastes and beyond. Death and disease shall run rampant in the Bringer of Desolation's wake, for his hordes are seemingly endless and bent on destroying the world!
== Campaign Description ==
=== The Realm of Chaos ===
An ancient prophecy foretells of a vile and deathly force of Chaos, led by a monstrous champion capable of uniting the armies of their wretched God to conquer the unholy proving ground of Zanbaijin. Now, legend sits on the verge of reality. Tamurkhan, the great Kurgan Lord of Chaos, has declared himself the fabled Bringer of Desolation, seeking to lead the virulent war hosts of Nurgle in a sweeping tide of rot.
Burrowed deep in the body of an Ogre Tyrant, he puppets his hideous host with the blessing of the Urfather, riding before his great horde to spread death and destruction in abundance. The misguided pawns of lesser Gods will no doubt try to stand in his way – a mistake the Maggot Lord will make sure to punish severely!
=== Immortal Empires ===
