Plague Marines are slow, bloated servants of Nurgle – Chaos Space Marines corrupted by disease. In gameplay terms, they serve as durable infantry that moves slowly but is very difficult to force off the field. They take large amounts of damage before exploding in showers of gore, which heal nearby allies and damage enemies.
