===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 and first stratagem, Futility made Flesh, help make durable units like terminators and Lords of Contagion even more so. Their relic and second stratagem help out in melee.

*'''Warlord Trait-''' Gloaming Bloat: Enemies can only wound your warlord on wound rolls of 4+  
*'''Relic: ''' Tollkeeper: Tallyman only, unmodified 6's on hit rolls from melee attacks from friendly units within 7" of the bearer generate an additional hit. 
*'''Stratagems'''
**Futility Made Flesh (2/3cp) - In opponent's shooting phase, when a Mortarion's Anvil terminator unit is targeted, reduce damage by 1 until end of phase. Costs 2 cp for 5 or fewer models, 3 for 6+ models. Your blightlord termies can now laugh off overcharged plasma
**Relaptic Assault (1cp) - Use in opponent's charge phase, 1 infantry unit can heroically intervene.
