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

Mortarion's Chosen Sons are the 7th Plague Company and the closest to their primarch's favor. They include numerous alchemists and plague surgeons. The company's signature disease is Crawling Pustulance, also known as boilblight, lumpen splatter, and Nurgle's Fruit, and it causes the bearer to form pustules corrosive fluid across their body. 

Thematically, they are Mortarion's personal boys, a company of dark alchemists and plague brewers in the manner of their patron deity.

Mechanically, they buff plague spewers and similar weapons.

*'''Warlord Trait - Nurgle's Fruit (Contagion):''' All attacks against enemies within contagion range ignore cover. How utterly dastardly. This one seems boring compared to the others (and it is), but thematically it makes your spewer weapons better against units in cover. (Combine this with the stratagem disgusting force on a PBC to clean out eradicators hiding in cover. The boosted damage means each failed save will be enough to destroy a model.)
*'''Relic - Vomitryx:''' Replaces a plague sprayer (so Blightspawn only) with a 7-shot one, doubling its output.
*'''Stratagems - Plague Brewers (1 CP):''' When shooting with a unit with plague belchers, plaguespurt gauntlets, or plague spewers, increase the damage of those weapons to 2. 
** Drop in 6 Deathshroud for 7d6 autohits, drop LOV next to them, LOV contagion range is boosted to 12" with psychic power and arch contaminator on LOV for full re-rolls to wound, LOV aura gives AP-1 on wounds of 6, and each wound does 2 damage. Not the best, but that's a lot of wounds and a big block of terminators t-posing on the enemy army.
