{"product_id":"diseased-the-sporefused-ursus","title":"Diseased - The Sporefused Ursus","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"430\" data-start=\"23\"\u003eDiseased and grotesque beyond reason, The Sporefused Ursus lumbers across the battlefield as a living engine of decay. This abomination, once perhaps a beast of loyalty, has been fused into a Cerberus-like horror, its warped anatomy spreading contagion with every staggered step. Towering at 62mm, it dominates the field not just through size, but through the sheer revulsion it inspires in those who face it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"856\" data-start=\"434\"\u003eIts twin heads snap and gnash independently, each lined with jagged, bony growths that resemble teeth but seem grown rather than formed. These Diseased maws drip with foul ichor, capable of tearing through armour and flesh alike. Five malformed limbs propel the creature forward in an unnatural gait, granting it surprising speed despite its bulk. It is a relentless predator shaped by corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1238\" data-start=\"860\"\u003eAcross its bloated frame, swollen pustules throb and split, leaking noxious fluids that poison the ground beneath it. These Diseased growths act as both armour and weapon, bursting under pressure to spread filth and infection into nearby enemies. Its hide is a patchwork of torn flesh and hardened lesions, creating a nightmarish resilience that shrugs off conventional attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1567\" data-start=\"1242\"\u003eThe Ursus does not fight alone. Wherever it treads, rot follows. Its presence weakens resolve and erodes discipline, turning even hardened warriors into panicked prey. The ornate base tells its own grim story, a shattered tree stump and the half-buried remains of a fallen soldier, a reminder that nothing escapes its advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1868\" data-start=\"1571\"\u003eOn the tabletop, this creature excels as a terror unit, drawing fire, breaking formations, and soaking punishment while spreading chaos. The Diseased nature of its design makes it a centrepiece model, perfect for hobbyists who enjoy pushing into darker, more grotesque themes with their collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring this revolting monstrosity to life with a palette of decay and corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
