===Mortarion's Anvil===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">

The 3rd Plague Company are known as Mortarion's Anvil, and they maintain the Death Guard's long standing preference for trench warfare. They dig in and let opponents batter themselves to death against their defenses. Their signature disease is Gloaming Bloat. Symptoms include fever, sweating, speaking with a wet gurgle, and bloating like a week-dead drowned corpse.

Thematically, this Plague Company emphasizes durability and close quarters melee combat.

Mechanically, their warlord trait screws with enemies that rely on rerolls and/or overwatch. Their relic and stratagem help out in melee.

*'''Warlord Trait - Gloaming Bloat (Contagion):''' Enemies within contagion range can no longer fire Overwatch or set to defend. On top of this, they can't re-roll any hit or wound rolls they make, shutting down a lot of HQs. This contagion is made just to overrun everything without looking at the resistance. Especially fucks over the [[Tau|blueberries]].
*'''Relic - Warp Insect Hive:''' The bearer re-rolls all hit and wound rolls in melee, making them far more reliable in an age where HQs no longer benefit from their own auras.
** This one seems to be made for a Daemon Prince. Gives him full rerolls and can go toe to toe with most things now. 
*'''Stratagem - Relaptic Assault (1 CP):''' Use in opponent's charge phase, Any number of selected {{W40kKeyword|Mortarion's Anvil INFANTRY}} units within 3" of the enemy can heroically intervene.
