In Warmhammer 40,000 Boltgun, Malum Caedo came up against some of the perilous forces of the pestilent agents of Nurgle, such as Nurglings, Plague Toads and even a Great Unclean One. Blessed with resilience and renewal, the forces of Nurgle return in Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 to plague the progress of both Malum and Nyra.  

And this time, there are some brand new Nurgle foes to overcome. 

Poxwalkers 

As you venture through the muck and mire of one of a Nurgle-infested Deathworld, you’ll have to cleave through regenerating swarms of Poxwalkers that rise out of the ground. The sheer volume of rotting bodies will take significant firepower to chew through before their clawing hands, tentacle limbs, and gnashing teeth reach you.

Whilst Poxwalkers shamble towards you, Plague Marines prefer a more ranged approach with their deadly weapons.  

Plague Marines are the foot soldiers of the Death Guard, a traitor legion dedicated to the will of Nurgle. Their bloated bodies are clad in rusting armour covered in boils and slime, and the rejuvenating powers of their god make them extremely resilient to damage. They are armed with deadly guns, including plague belchers firing volleys of infectious slime, creating hazardous zones. 

Even more powerful than their heretical brother Plague Marines are the Blightlord Terminators. They are inexorable in their advances, their decaying bodies encased within a tomb of Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour.  

With a mixed loadout, Blightlord Terminators are a threat at both range and melee. One of the deadliest weapons they wield is a flail of corruption, which causes eruptions of corrupting energy to spew from the ground around them.

Nurgle will return alongside Tzeentch in Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2. But Malum and Nyra will also need to face the forces of Khorne and Slaanesh, which you can read about in our previous Steam updates.  

There's only one week to go until the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 and we've got more exciting news to share before then!

We've just received confirmation from Steam that Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is Steam Deck verified! So, you'll be able to purge heretics from the comfort of your desk, sofa, bed or on the move, when Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 launches on the 14th of October 2026.

Malum Caedo and Nyra Veyrath are no strangers to the heretical forces of chaos that plague the Imperium. However familiar one can be with Chaos, the forces of Tzeentch are the most unknowable, always changing, evolving and plotting. 

In Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun, Malum brought Bolter and Chainsword to bear down on a daemonic incursion that included some of the horrors conjured up by the god of change, Tzeentch. Now these warp entities such as Screamers, Flamers and Horrors return once more, this time at the head of Thousand Sons Rubricae.

Advancing inexorably across the battlefield, Rubric Marines are what remains of the Thousand Sons traitor legion – once proud Astartes, now mindless automatons. Their ornate armour is a shell that contains what used to be an Astartes, eternally bound to both their suit and the will of Tzeentch. Their Inferno Bolters and Soulreaper Cannons unleash a flurry of warp-touched bolts that flood the arena, creating a challenge of dodging whilst keeping up the offensive.

Fighting alongside the Rubric Marines are the veteran Scarab Occult Terminators; once the living bodyguards of their Primarch, Magnus the Red. They are imprisoned in hulking suits of Terminator armour with a dizzying output of ranged fire from Combi-Bolters, Hellfyre Missiles, and Heavy Warpflamers. Despite their size and slow movement, targeting them will provide a challenge as they seemingly phase-shift when targeted and can rapidly redeploy with Tzeentch trickery.

The forces of Tzeentch are just one of the enemy factions that Malum Caedo and Nyra Veyrath will be purging when Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 releases later this year.
