[BtB] Blessings & Mutations

Just a quick question following this quote:

Marauders of Chaos Warband p. 2 wrote:

Mutant
The Hero may buy one mutation. See the Mutations section of the Possessed on special rules. Heroes with the Mark of Onogal may choose a Blessing of Nurgle instead (see Empire in Flames, page 66) except the Mark of Nurgle. Note that unlike other skills Marauder Heroes may take this skill more than once. (My emphasis)

So does this mean that the Blessings are free, but the Mutations must be bought?

No, the Blessings of Nurgle have a cost too that must be spent when this 'skill' is taken.

This 'skill' allows for the warrior to get one of the mutations from the Possessed warband. However, it then also gives an allowance for warriors with a Mark of Onogal to choose to buy a Blessing of Nurgle instead of one of the generic mutations from the Possessed warband.

This 'skill' now also has the option to be expanded to cover the different mutations and gifts of the dark gods found in the 'Corrupted Characters' article which did not exist when the warband was originally published.

Thank you for this additional info (should perhaps be updated in the PDF?); was actually a question that came up yesterday as well, so glad that's sorted out!
