Diseased Krakens

The Diseased Krakens are a warband, or vectorium, of the Death Guard. They are made up entirely of corrupted Dark Krakens and Salamanders. As can be inferred by their name, most of the warband's Plague Marines have kraken-themed mutations that make them squid-like or octopus-like. The Krakens are led by Necromander
==History==
During a battle between the Dark Krakens (along with their Salamander gene-brothers) and the Death Guard, many Astartes of the former were left for dead on the battlefield. Nurgle gave them new life in return for their undivided loyalty towards him. The grandfather thought it fitting to give them mutations that reflected their Dark Kraken origins. The small force of a few hundred plague marines from the Dark Krakens and Salamanders were reinforced with plague marines from other Death Guard warbands and demons from Nurgle's folds.
==Warband Appearance==
===Warband Mutations===
Members of the Diseased Krakens have a variety of mutations. Some have whole squids or octopi replacing their head. Most, if not all, have some sort of tentacle mutation, usually replacing an arm or erupting from their body in various locations. Most former Dark Krakens have purple, blue, orange, red, pink or yellow Kraken parts, while most former Salamanders have orange or yellow parts.
===Warband Colors===
The Diseased Krakens utilize a nearly the same color-scheme as their loyal predecessors, though they throw in a mix of Death Guard gold accent. They wear black power armour with purple shoulder pauldrons and arms. The Warband's badge is worn on either shoulder plate, usually whichever is less mutated, while the Death Guard badge is worn on the other shoulder (if both are mostly visible).
===Warband Badge===
The badge of the Diseased Krakens is a modified version of the Dark Kraken's white badge. It is more worn looking and has fangs and other Nurgle mutations visible on the iconography.
==Warband Demons==
The Warband also utilizes a large number of Nurgle demons crafted by Nurgle specifically for the Diseased Krakens. They have the same basic mutations as the Astartes. Many Demon Engines created from tanks, titans, knights and dreadnoughts are also prevalent in the army. 
===Notable Demons===
*Bel'azog - Bel'azog is a great unclean one who was placed under the command of Necromander. The two have become as close as brothers and are rarely seen apart, with the latter often riding the former into battle. Bel'azog has tentacles that erupt out of his body, including as both arms. He is also heavily armored, with the purple colors of the Krakens.
*Vad'uum "The Incinerator" - Vad'uum is a heavily armored great unclean one. He is fused to two large sets of flamers on either arm as well as on his back.
