Okay, how am I going to put this: You take a Chaos Space Marine, mix it with Nurgle, there! You have a Plague Marine, who is pretty much a walking sack of bile, disease and rot, just like Nurgle would want!
Seriously, Plague Marines are tough bastards, not just because they're guys with Power Armor; they're guys with Power Armor with bodies with huge guts that can take HUGE amounts of damage before dying, and if they die that'll still make Nurgle happy for there will be a body to rot (But he'll be sad to see a servant of Nurgle die).
Plague Marines usually armed with a Bolter that is in very low condition thanks to the fact it has been decaying for a pretty long time. Since Plague Marines are too busy not dying in their disease-ridden bodies they won't start fixing them. They can also arm themselves with a Combat Blade that can unleash Nurgle's Rot on it's victims. This doctrine dates back to the Horus Heresy where Mortarion equipped every member of the Death Guard with a Bolter, Bolt Pistol and close combat weapon and told them to figure out for themselves what weapon to use.
On the tabletop, Plague Marines have been the most used troop choice in the 4th edition Chaos Codex, possessing an extra point of toughness due to Mark of Nurgle and also having Feel No Pain, and can equip anything from the armory that normal Chaos Marines can, unlike the other cult marines. 6th edition gave them a mixed bag with Feel No Pain's changes, though since anything with MoN in 6th has FnP, but now they also have poisoned weapons, and since their cost isn't changed, it's likely that they will remain a mainstay of many competitive lists.
Most Plague Marines are in the McDonalds Legion, the Death Guard and serve their lazy boss in his Plague World, where they drink tea and don't do all that much.
