Editing Plague Marines

Okay, how am I going to put this: You take a Chaos Space Marine, mix it with [[Nurgle]], there! You have a '''Plague Marine''', who is pretty much a walking sack of bile, disease and rot, [[Just as planned|just like Nurgle would want]]!

Seriously, Plague Marines are tough bastards, not just because they're guys with Power Armor (Even if it has heavily corroded); they're guys with Power Armor with bodies that have rotted to the point where they've lost their weakness of depending vital organs for survival as they largely don't require it anymore, thus, plague marines are incredibly tough to kill as anything short of blowing their bodies to oblivion or bathing it in burning promethium will put them down. And if they die that'll still make Nurgle happy for there will be a body to rot and they have received his glorious gift of the inevitable end(But he'll be sad to see one of his children die.).

Plague Marines are usually armed with a [[Bolter]] that is in very low condition thanks to the fact it has been decaying for a pretty long time. 

Since Plague Marines are too busy not dying in their disease-ridden bodies they won't start fixing them. They can also arm themselves with a Combat Blade that can unleash Nurgle's Rot on it's victims. This doctrine dates back to the Horus Heresy where Mortarion equipped every member of the [[Death Guard]] with a Bolter, Bolt Pistol and close combat weapon and told them to figure out for themselves what weapon to use.

On the tabletop, Plague Marines have been the most used troop choice in the 4th edition Chaos Codex, possessing an extra point of toughness due to Mark of Nurgle and also having Feel No Pain, and can equip anything from the armory that normal Chaos Marines can, unlike the other cult marines. 6th edition gave them a mixed bag with Feel No Pain's changes, but now they also have poisoned weapons, and since their cost hasn't changed, it's likely that they will remain a mainstay of many competitive lists. Their only drawback, besides cost, is that have lower imitative than other marines, which most players don't care about.

Most Plague Marines are in the [[Death Guard|McDonalds]] Legion, the Death Guard and serve their lazy [[Mortarion|boss]] in his Plague World, where they drink tea and don't do all that much, thanks to BL and GW shelving them in favor of the [[Black Legion]] and [[Iron Warriors]].
