	*'''Chaos Rhino:''' T9 gives the Rhino at least a chance to shrug off handheld meltaguns, but not by much - at least it has the ability to heal a wound each turn. Of course, it can carry up to 12 {{W40kKeyword\|Infantry}} units that aren't terminators, cultists (they're somehow too ''small'' to fit through the doors, I guess), or poxwalkers and two of the models inside it can fire out of it thanks to ''Firing Deck 2''.		*'''Chaos Rhino:''' T9 gives the Rhino at least a chance to shrug off handheld meltaguns, but not by much - at least it has the ability to heal a wound each turn.

			*'''Greater Blight Drone<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' The old FW Blight Drones are...a bit inferior to their modern incarnations. Their probes are stuck without any means for the better mower. Instead, you get the Blight Launcher for anti-MEQ firepower and some extra shooting from the Bile Maw, but it's nothing compared to the sprayer the drones could have taken, regardless of it being strapped with everything else. Take only if you're really pushing for the shooting.

			*'''Relic Contemptor Dreadnought<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' The dreadnought to take if you want something that just refuses to die. Comes with all the fun guns you've ever wanted in melee or at range, curiously starting out with twin plasma cannons. Your fists and chainfists come with combi-bolters with the heavy flamer option also adding in options for plasma blasters to easily crack MEQs and the graviton blaster to annoy vehicles. You can also strap a cyclone missile launcher for additional firepower.
			*'''Deredeo Dreadnought<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' The Dreadnought to use if you just want to shoot, this dread can re-roll to hit enemies above half-strength. Each of their arm-guns are paired with specific purposes - the Anvilus Autocannons demolish crowds, the Arachnus Heavy Lascannons to demolish tanks, the Hellfire Plasma Cannonade to blast apart TEQs and the Volkite Falconets to burn through high toughness monsters. You can also pick up one of two different missiles, one capable of handling crowds while the other lets you easily break flyers.
			*'''Leviathan Dreadnought<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' The end of any tanks or monsters you see. The Cyclonic Melta Lance can easily rip through monsters and tanks all the same while the Grav-Flux Bombard gives you more reliable ways of damaging tanks at the cost of effectiveness. The Storm Cannon exists if you're up against any hordes. You can also grab a claw or drill, the difference really only being that the drill has one less attack for [Anti-Vehicle 4+], otherwise they're both almost identical and carry meltas.

He gives any Plague Marines he leads the ''Fights First'' rule, and he can be paired with any other Leader on the same unit. His Plague Sprayer is a decent gun optimized for Overwatch, a super-flamer with S7 AP-2 D2 with ''Anti-Infantry 2+''.		*'''Foul Blightspawn:''' Has 1 job, and does it well: protecting a unit you care about.

	*'''Malignant Plaguecaster:''' Plague Wind gives this gross psyker a flamer-like weapon, with the basic version getting S4 AP-1 Dd3 and the overcharged version upping the power to S6 AP-4 with ''Hazardous'', both benefiting from ~~Pestilential~~ Fallout and making anyone wounded by the power take -2 to movement and advance/charge rolls. Gift of Contagion gives you a debuff that makes an enemy within 18" take -1 to wound in melee on a 2+ (with a 1 backfiring and dealing d3 MWs instead).		*'''Malignant Plaguecaster:''' Plague Wind gives this gross psyker a flamer-like weapon, with the basic version getting S4 AP-1 Dd3 and the overcharged version upping the power to S6 AP-4 with ''Hazardous'', both benefiting from Pestilent Fallout and making anyone wounded by the power ''in the Shooting Phase'' take -2 to movement and advance/charge rolls (you ''can't'' use him to Overwatch a charge into failing).

	*'''Tallyman:''' If you ever feel useless, remember, you're more useful than this guy. He can stick to Plague Marines and grants his unit +1 to hit, which only really matters if you're dealing with anything using ''Stealth''. This has no synergy on ''[Lethal Hits]'', which most weapons have, and has no use on ''[Torrent]'' because they don't roll at all. He also has a rule for a 7/12 chance of gaining you 1 CP in your command phase. Strong competitor for least useful character in the faction.		*'''Tallyman:''' If you ever feel useless, remember, you're more useful than this guy.

	**In another fabulous case of GW failing to proofread, that stat-modifier ignoring bubble is listed just above the section for Morty's damage track, which deals -1 to hit for reaching a certain number of wounds.

			*'''Typhus:''' Toughness 6 is a surprising gift to the world's smelliest degenerate, doubly so when you can attach him to terminators or Poxwalkers and give them -1 to be hit. While he lost out on a lot, he does retain one psychic power that's the closest to 9E as we've seen - on a 2+ it deals d6 MWs on an enemy within 18", and a 6 turns it into d3+3 MWs.
