Plagueburst Crawler

The Death Guard got a new toy around and this time it looks absolutely beast. Like this is the most Nurglite thing that GeeDubs has ever made. It is bland, rustic and visually unappealing, which is everything a Death Guard player wants. And unlike the Nurgle Plague Tower, it doesn't look fucking stupid. Speaking of the Nurgle Plague Tower, the Plagueburst Crawler is essentially the spiritual successor of the giant medieval idiot tower, that or it also be the spiritual successor of the Contagion in function.
The Plagueburst Crawler is essentially an artillery vehicle with a giant plague mortar as its main weapon. It is also equipped with two sponsons armed with Plaguespitters or Entropy Cannons, a bulldozer and a triple-barrelled frontal hull weapon called a "Heavy Slugger" in the shape of the Nurglite symbol of the Plague Father.
In-universe, they were designed by Mortarion as an artillery piece capable of outmatching any of its Imperial counterparts, and the toxic spores their plagueburst mortars spew out are so toxic that even Daemons of Nurgle look at them askance.
So far, reviews has been positive and it is seen as one of the most visually accurate and mundanely practical of any daemon-possessed vehicle (With the exception of the Chaos air fleet) that has been released by GeeDubs. Although considering the amount of shit that the forces of Chaos were forced to use, it may not really be that much of an accomplishment in the first place.
