Editing Plague Surgeon (section)

== 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, <s>which means this guy has no function. Fucks sakes.</s> Nurgle has blessed us! Plague surgeon now provides nearby infantry 6+++. He is also able to heal D3 wounds to a unit within 3". So he is actually pretty good now.
