Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Death Guard (section)

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

The 4th Plague Company are disliked for their high numbers of sorcerers and summoning rituals. Known as The Wretched, they are ruled by a gestalt Daemon known as the Eater of Lives, and their signature disease, the Eater Plague, reduces the corpses of enemies into a slimy gruel.

Thematically, they are a company of psykers, witches, and warp-dabblers in a Legion renowned for hating that sort of thing.

Mechanically, the Wretched favor Malignant Plaguecasters, Daemon Princes, and Sorcerers.

*'''Warlord Trait - Eater Plague (Contagion):''' Any attacks made against enemies within Contagion range automatically wound on a nat 6 to hit. Makes zombies and mass plague marines a little better. 
*'''Relic - The Daemon's Favor:''' Malignant Plaguecaster only. The bearer replaces their Pestilential Fallout ability with "Torrent of Putrefaction". Instead of 1 mortal wound dealt on a 7 or more to cast within 12", the bearer deals 1 mortal wound within 6" on any successful cast, increasing to 1d3 on a 7+.  Best used with the stratagem 'Sevenfold Blessings' (see below) to increase the chance of rolling a 7 on the psychic test.
*'''Stratagems - Sevenfold Blessings (1 CP):''' Use before the battle. One use per battle. Select one {{W40kKeyword|Wretched Psyker}}. For the rest of the battle, that psyker knows one additional power and can re-roll one psychic test per psychic phase. 
** You could pair this with the Putrid Periapt relic and give your psyker 4 powers, but at the end of the day he can still only cast 2. Still kind of cool if you want to run a campaign or something with a beefy psyker hero. If you go this route, go for the Sorcerer in Terminator armor. You don't want all those eggs in a 4 wound 3+ save basket like a Plaguecaster.
