Grimgristle Beetlesucker

Grimgristle Beetlesucker
Greater Daemon of Nurgle

Grimgristle Beetlesucker is a Great Unclean One summoned by the Yellow King to help him bring the Plaguefather's gifts to the Mortal Realms. However, due to his immense power he is more akin to a partner than a servant. Together with Gutrot Spume the three lead the armies of Nurgle across the land, sea and air. Grimgristle's demonic armies include many plague drones and swarms of plague flies that darken the skies and obscure his plaguebearers' advance. Grimgristle's very breath is lousy with plague flies that, at close range, ravage the bodies of those that oppose Nurgle's gifts. Another power that Grimgristle possess that makes his armies so deadly is his ability to twist time around his followers. As a daemon he exists outside of time and so he can manipulate it to speed his normally ponderous minions along their way to spread the Grandfather's blessings. Many armies have fallen due to their belief that Nurgle's daemons are slow and plodding. Grimgristle finds the shocked look on their faces to be quite humorous.

I used the name generator in Slaves to Darkness to generate his true name and his use name. The rest just wrote itself. He is one of my leaders for my newest Nurgle army. The army is built in three parts. The "land" army is lead by the Yellow King and his subordinate the Red Duke and is predominantly made up of Blightkings. The "Sea" portion is lead by Gutrot Spume and his first mate and consists of primarily Blightkings and chaos spawn. The "Air" army is lead by Grimgristle Beetlesucker and consists mainly of Plague Drones and Plaguebearers.

  1. Gloriously disgusting, lovely work! I love the dark gore!

    I was planning on using the Slaves to Darkness name generator to get true/use names for the two heads of my Great Unclean One and use those to make a combination name that they go by now they are fused together.

    My first portion of my Nurgle Army is almost done (Daemons), still having a bit of a crisis when deciding whether to do Mortals or Pestilens as the next addition.

    1. Luckily the name generator can create very big true names. You roll a d6 and multiply it by 7 to get the number of letter pairs. I rolled a 1 so only got 7 pairs, but you can go bigger since you have two. I plan on converting human models into plague monks and using those for clan pestilence since I want to at least in appearance stay human/daemon.
