They lead their foul brethren in the creation of new and virulent diseases - forever searching for the ultimate plague that can weaken all nations so that the Skaven can rise up and rule supreme. The Plague Priests claim the great Harbinger of Disease himself, the Horned Rat, grants them sorcerous powers to aid their unholy mission. Whether their arcane might is granted by a divine presence or from long study of the Book of Woe, there is no denying the noxious powers of the Plague Priests. Vomiting geysers of black death or cursing the enemy from afar so that he erupts with blistering boils. Plague Priests wield loathsome, but potent magics. When the outcome of a battle has particular importance to Clan Pestilens, the Plague Priest may even sanction the building of a great Plague Furnace to accompany the brotherhood on their divine mission to destroy all those who oppose them. ==Attributes== *[[File:Icon wh2 main lore plague.png]] '''Wizard''' {{wh2_main_skv_cha_plague_priest_0 bulletpoints}} == Campaign Abilities == === Embed Hero === *[[File:Item ability.png]] Scouting === Constant Local Effects === *[[File:Corruption skaven.png]] Spreads Corruption === Target === *'''Settlement''' *[[File:Siege attack.png]] Damage Walls *'''Hero''' *[[File:Wound time.png]] Wound *'''Army''' *[[File:Replenishment.png]] Hinder Replenishment == Spells == *[[File:Icon wh main lore plague.png|38px]][[Skaven Spells of Plague]] == Character Abilities == *[[File:Wh main unit passive frenzy.png]] [[Frenzy]] *[[File:Wh2 main lore passive plague rash.png|38px]] [[Skaven Spells of Plague#Plague Rash|Plague Rash]] *[[File:Wh2 main unit passive scurry away.png]] [[Scurry Away!]] *[[File:Wh main character abilities arcane conduit.png|38px]] [[Arcane Conduit]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character passive evasion.png|38px]] [[Evasion (ability)|Evasion]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character abilities foe seeker.png|38px]] [[Foe-Seeker]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character abilities deadly onslaught.png|38px]] [[Deadly Onslaught]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character abilities rally.png|38px]] [[Rally!]] <small>(campaign only)</small> *[[File:Wh main character abilities stand or die.png|38px]] [[Stand or Die!]] <small>(campaign only)</small> == Items (Multiplayer) == *N/A == Mounts == *[[File:Mount plague furnace.png|38px]] [[Plague Furnace]] == Talent Tree == * [https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/planner/vanilla3/skv_skaven/skv_plague_priest Skill Tree on TotalWarhammerPlanner] ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Skv plague priest campaign 01 0.png File:Skv plague priest campaign 02 0.png File:Skv plague priest campaign 03 0.png </gallery> ==Strategy== Plague Priests are potent spellcasters as well as decent melee combatants. Their spells offer a wide range of flexibility, from directly damaging enemy units to buffing your own units with Poison-causing attacks. Their greatest utility, however, comes from their Vermintide spell, which spawns a unit of Clanrats. These Clanrats can be used as disposable meatshields, or to surround enemy units. This spell is quite cheap and can be used multiple times in a battle, allowing you to overwhelm the enemy. When placed on a Plague Furnace, they become extremely deadly in melee, with a damaging effect on enemy troops nearby. However, the Plague Furnace makes a tempting target for enemy missile units, and you must take care to ensure the Plague Priest is not cut down. {{Navbox Skaven units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II units]] [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II heroes]] [[Category:Skaven units]] [[Category:Skaven hero units]]
