Beat Tamurkhan the Maggot Lord in battle and your lord can earn the trait

Tamur-Can't

  • Character experience gain: +15% (Heroes in Lord's army)

Who can field it

  • Nurgle · Poxmakers of Nurgle

Custom Battle lists factions under each race; every faction of a race fields that race's units (units_custom_battle_permissions rows of any of its factions). The name after the race is the faction the army builder uses.

Where these numbers come from

Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
