Special
• The Terminus Est is a unique vessel; only one may ever be in a Chaos fleet.
• It is a ponderous vessel and may not use Come To New Heading special orders.
• Mark of Nurgle: This ship bears the Mark of Nurgle as part of its point cost; it does not have to be paid for separately by the ship’s commander. The extra hit is already included in its profile.
• Flagship: If chosen, the Terminus Est must be used as the fleet’s flagship and have its Warmaster placed aboard it unless the Planet Killer is also present, in which case a Chaos Lord must lead it. This vessel may only bear the Mark of Nurgle. It cannot be used with any fleet that has Thousand Sons Chaos Space Marines or vessels bearing the Mark of Tzeentch unless the fleet is being led by Abaddon the Despoiler, as there is ageless enmity between the servants of the Bringer of Change and those of the Lord of Decay.
• Miasma of Pestilence: The Terminus Est is surrounded by vast swarming clouds of the same Warp-spawned flies which buzz and howl through its interior and first transformed Typhus into the Host of the Destroyer Hive. This miasma permeates outwards from the ship through blisters, boils and fractures in its surface or through corroded discharge tubes and weapon barrels. It replaces the ship’s turrets and works in exactly the same way as turrets against attack craft but has no effect against torpedoes. The miasma is so thick that it obscures and distorts the shape of the Terminus Est, meaning that vessels within 15 cm do not benefit from a left column shift when firing at it.
