Samuel Ludenhof

is a Unique Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Champions of Chaos exclusive to faction.
== Description ==
Those who walk their own path to excel themselves in service to Nurgle are destined to become His most exalted soldiers. With weapons sweating with necrosis, corroded armour, and shields inscribed with runes to ward away harm, they wade into battle as readily as they duel champions of rival Gods. But their true purpose is to inflict decay upon the civilised realms of the world, as harbingers of war-borne plagues in the frame of a mighty warrior. They are truly the grimmest of combatants, finding fulfilment in the horrors of battle and believing that suffering and misery are the natural state of life as expounded by Grandfather Nurgle.
