The Vicious Swarm

This week I bring to you the green aligned viscous swarm. Believing completely in the ideology of might makes right and the strong rule only as long as they can remain the top predator. Constantly these phyrexians fight for dominance in their own version of the circle of life.

Appearing like a serpentine insect the swarmlord is a terrifying sight to behold. In combat they thrash their opponents with a flurry of savage strikes with their claws or go for a lethal sting with their large stinger coming from their back. The most unnerving and unique ability however is every 5 rounds all opponents who have infected wounds must make a save or suffer from a spontaneously spawned insect horror burrow its way out of their flesh for every 5 points of infection damage they have dealing an additional 1d6 infected damage on its way out.

A titan of muscle, sinew, and nearly un-penetrable hide Verinclex is the epitome of survival of the fittest.

Of huge size he tramples those of medium or smaller size for 2d6 damage if they fail their save.
