Hammer and bolter - "plague song"

[Petitioner's City]

A new review thread for "Plague Song", the latest episode of Hammer and Bolter. 
 
Summary is 
 

In Plague Song, the putrescent sorcerer Ephisis takes command of a Death Guard warband by turning its current leader into a Chaos Spawn. That’s certainly one way to make your way up the chain of command in a Traitor Legion…

Determined to do right by the Father of Disease, and aided by the impish Nurgling Nex, Ephisis pushes his mastery of Nurgle’s poxes to the limit. It’s not long before he learns that their spread isn’t restricted purely to material space…

Naturally (or is that unnaturally?), this breakthrough leads to some truly disgusting animation, as Ephisis unleashes a mighty blight upon unsuspecting Imperial forces. If you’ve ever wondered what Nurgle’s gifts look like when they afflict the flesh… then this is your lucky day!*

I liked it, a warning don't eat while watching.

 

Dont know If I gotten used to Hammer and bolters janky animations or what, but they seemed much better in this episode.

It was alight, great visuals, super evocative in general and i liked the rampant backstabbing but how they dealt with the fleet was some nonsense.

And yeah, definitely not one for dinner watching :D

I really liked how they handled the weirdness of the warp and time with the fleet.

 

This is probably in my top 5 episodes, but not quite top 3.
