Whelp, it wouldn't be the [[Death Guard]] without the need of some Plague Doctors in SPEHSS. Plague Surgeons are the former [[Apothecaries]] of the Death Guard who have long since been twisted by the powers of [[Nurgle]]. Of all the new Death Guard models, this one is one of the few that does not have a name reeking of pretentiousness, although they did call the Death Guard's #1 Plague Surgeon "[[Cringe|Nauseous Rotbone]]" and stick his name on the official blister pack (probably because "Plague Surgeon" is too generic to trademark on its own; it's worth mentioning that the same thing happened with the [[Tallymen|Tallyman]], but not the more trademarkable [[Foul Blightspawn]] or [[Biologus Putrifier]]). Further proof that GW is [[ChapterHouse_Studios#Result|letting 10-year-olds come up with names for their characters now]], if any more was needed.

==Overview==
The unnatural resilience of the Death Guard leaves little need for conventional medicine. Instead, the Plague Surgeons tend to the well-being of the diseases that their brothers carry within their rotting bodies. Like proud fathers, the Plague Surgeons spare no effort in tending to all of Nurgle’s children. Their bodies are incubators for every form of parasite and disease, their flesh and blood offered willingly as living nurseries. As a result, the very touch of a Plague Surgeon is virulently infectious. Plague Surgeons bolster the potency of Nurgle’s plagues in friend and foe alike. The Narthecium-like instruments upon their arms contain booster-vials and macro-stimulants for plagues both natural and warp-spawned, imbuing Nurgle’s servants with new strength even as they worsen the enemy’s sickness.

Plague Surgeons also have another role upon the field of battle, one that has earned them the hatred and [[Butthurt]] of loyalist Space Marines. Upon the field of battle, Plague Surgeons will gather the [[Gene-seed|gene-seed]] of fallen [[Space Marines]], [[Troll|even those from loyalist Chapters.]] Some of this gene-seed is used in the creation of new Death Guard, while the fate of the rest is best [[FATAL|left unspoken.]]

==Crunch==
The Plague Surgeon allows you to re-roll 1s on your Disgustingly Resilient rolls on '''Infantry''' units within 3″. Curiously but unsurprisingly, the Plague Surgeon is better against marines in close combat than his Loyalist counterpart on account of his Gene-seed Thief ability and his mutated Narthecium plus he carries what amounts to a power sword in close combat. All in all, if used right, the Plague Doctor is a pretty decent support character that can jump out and take on Marine Characters in a pinch and synergise his fellow Plague Marines.

As of 9th Disgustingly Resilient just reduces damage by 1 to a minimum of 1 for your two wound marines, which means this guy has no function. Fucks sakes.

Nurgle Plague Tower

The Plague Tower of [[Nurgle]] is a [[Daemon Engine]] from the Days of [[Epic]]... bet that already started the bells ringing, huh? It is a serious contender for the title of [[Derp|"Absolute ''Stupidest'' Chaos War Machine Of All",]] and considering some of the other Daemon Engines, that's saying something. [[Plagueburst_Crawler|It would have been taken more seriously if]] it was not for the two stupid looking faces stacked on top of each other [[/d/|re-enacting some kind of bizarre vomit porn.]]

Interestingly, these things take a starring role in Guy Haley’s ''Dark Imperium: Plague War'', where they are called Blight towers and are notable for being literally unstoppable (despite being quite literally made of wood, which Haley emphasises)- one wipes out two thousand imperial guardsmen with a single shot from its mortar and proceeds to eat three reaver titans for breakfast (apparently the derpy mouth things spit some kinda substance that can eat through void shields and adamantium, depite the fact that Lexicanum says they're just Demolisher Cannons) before a Reaver punches it several times with a Chainfist, dying as a result, but it still didn’t die so a group of Vassal Knights kill the thing by pouring several minutes’ worth of dakka into the hole the reaver made. The other six had to be destroyed by the Star-fort Galatan’s primary weapons (the things that can vaporise starships). So, while they look like utter garbage, turns out they’re actually quite deadly.

[[File:PlagueTower.jpg|290px|left|thumb|Yes. It is as stupid as it looks.]]
Even with a more modern illustration (See pic on the right), the Plague Tower still looks [[Blood Reaper|stupid]]. I mean for Nurgle's sake you would think that they would do away with the idiotic [[derp]] faces with something more disgusting like the [[Plaguereaper]], but nooooo...they just have to give the new Plague Towers the faces of [[herp|surprised emojis...]][[Bullshit|fucking bullshit!]] The stupidity and impracticality of this Daemon Engine are further compounded by how ECKS BAWKS HUEG it is. Seriously it is as tall as a [[Warhound Scout Titan]] for crying out loud! A blind Guardsmen in command of a [[Shadowsword]] has more chance of hitting the damned thing than walking up a flight of stairs without a walking stick.

As the title suggests, it is, at heart, a glorified siege tower. Yes, the big towers on wheels that besieging forces would push forward to try and act as a ramp into the castle in medieval times. The sort of thing that even [[Orks|Feral Orks]] consider kind of primitive. Hell, even as a ''siege tower'', its an absolute [[Shitstorm|shit cake.]] I mean, where in the mother of absolute fuck are the troops meant to go anywhere to siege the fortress walls? Are you able to see an entrance or a siege ramp somewhere? Because we sure as hell can't! The goddamned Plague Mortar is in the fucking way and the two cannons blocks any form of entrance due to the mechanics of the weapons. [[FAIL|So we have a siege tower that can't in fact, ''actually siege'', due to GW 'accidentally' forgetting to place an opening for troops to barge into enemy walls.]]

==Armaments==
Like its fellow Nurglite Engine, the [[Contagion]], the Plague Tower is mostly made of rotting wood and rusting metal, held together more by Nurglite magic than anything. Unlike a primitive siege tower, though, it mounts two demolisher cannons, a "[[Pus Cannon]]" that spews diseased, corrosive slime at anything close by, and a disease-vomiting Plague Mortar on its top. The whole ramshackle contraption is also infested with [[Nurgling]]s, which rally to defend it against invaders. It additionally has a giant bell on top whose main function is to ring the sound of the Plague Lord, but in all honesty, this contraption looks like weapons being piled up with more weapons, making it both impractical and vulnerable to gravity as any slight breeze can knock that tower down.

Similar to the [[Plaguereaper]], once the Plague Tower uses up all of its juice, it then collect the corpses of the dead as new ammunition for its Pus Cannon. Furthermore, like the Plaguereaper, if the Plague Tower itself takes enough damage in combat, its corrupted form may explode in a catastrophic explosion, spreading its toxic and infectious gifts of Nurgle even further into the enemy forces.
