Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Death Guard (section)

===The Harbingers===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

The 1st Plague Company is led by Typhus the Traveler. They are accompanies by vast hordes of plague zombies, and maintain hundreds of strains of zombie plagues. 

Thematically, they are the classic zombie horde. Massive swarms of shambling corpses led by Death guard are pushed into your opponents lines, while others rise from beneath the ground to strangle their foes. 

Mechanically, they are slightly different from the others. Both Typhus and Poxwalkers gain the Harbringer keyword if included in this detachhment, and their rules emphasize taking large hordes of the latter.
