Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Maggotkin of Nurgle – Festus the Leechlord

🧪 The Doctor Is In – Festus the Leechlord on Gathoblyt

The Grandfather’s favorite alchemist has ascended! Available now at Hobby Collectors Australia, the legendary Festus the Leechlord returns to the Mortal Realms in a terrifying new form. No longer a mere foot soldier of filth, Festus has been elevated to a Daemon Prince and now rides into battle atop the colossal, multi-eyed daemonic leech known as Gathoblyt.

As a heartless maniac with an infectious enthusiasm for disease, Festus spends his days tinkering with "Vile Poisons and Debilitating Toxins." On the tabletop, he is a formidable Leader and Behemoth, capable of dissolving enemy heroes in a messy display of medical negligence while healing his own bloated form.

Product Highlights & Unit Strategy:

• The Leechlord’s Curse: Festus is a master of parasitic magic. His signature spell snares enemies with leeches that deal mortal damage every time they use a Core ability or command, while simultaneously siphoning that life force to Heal Festus.
• Annelid Engorgement: As Gathoblyt feasts on the fallen, Festus gains "Leech Points," which permanently boost his Control characteristic, making him an unstoppable force for holding objectives.
• Vile Poisons: If Festus remains in combat without charging, he can hurl specialized concoctions that inflict direct mortal damage on Heroes and Monsters or instantly slay models in standard units.
• Massive Centerpiece Miniature: Standing as a true rival to other Daemon Princes, this kit is a hobbyist’s dream, featuring an incredible array of vials, alembics, diseased flesh, and the terrifying, slime-slicked textures of Gathoblyt.
• Customization: The kit includes two head options for Festus, allowing you to choose between his jovial, maniacal grin or a more traditional, pox-masked look.
