Immortal Researcher-Ku'Gath Plaguefather has mastered death, and so is nigh-impossible to put down for good. Reduce the damage characteristic of weapons that target him by 1, to a minimum of 1. Additionally, Ku'Gath adds +2 to his saves against any weapons that have an original damage characteristic of 1, to a maximum of 3+. Finally, the first time in any phase Ku'Gath fails a save, that damage is reduced to 0.
Field Testing-Any unit that is successfully hit by the Experimental Necrotic Missiles or suffers damage from a melee attack made by Ku'Gath has one of the following penalties applied to them for the remainder of the game:
1) Brittlebone: Decrease the unit's Toughness by 1
2) Pusweep: The unit must reroll any hit rolls of 6
3) Atrophic Canker: Decrease the unit's Strength by 1
4) Rustmoss: The unit's armor save is worsened by 1
5) Petrifying Plague: Reduce the unit's Movement by 2", and subtract 1d3 from any Advance or Charge rolls made by the unit
6) Cacklefever: Decrease the unit's Leadership by 2, and add one to Combat Attrition tests made by that unit.
No unit may have the same penalty applied to them more than once, and a unit may only be affected by this ability once per phase.
Psyker
Ku'Gath can attempt to cast two psychic powers in your psychic phase and deny one in your opponent's psychic phase. He knows Smite and two powers from the Nurgle Discipline.

Design Notes
Crushing Bulk is absent. Why? He's got valuable laboratory gear with him, he can't go crashing around with it! Also it's a piddly rule, not worth the time usually.
The stat upgrades should honestly be baseline for GUO.
I wasn't quite sure what kind of melee weapon to give him-I'd love to hear ideas for what kinda cool melee he could have besides the attendants, but for now, stock GUO gear.
Edit: Added a note to Field Testing that it can't work more than once per unit per phase. No stacking four penalties if you hit with all four shots or anything like that!
