Rules (2)

Inexorable Advance

- This unit counts as having Remained Stationary if it did not Fall Back or Advance in your previous Movement phase.
- If this unit has the VEHICLE keyword, it does not suffer the penalty incurred to its hit rolls for firing Heavy weapons at enemy units that are within Engagement Range of it.
- If this unit has the INFANTRY keyword, it can ignore any or all modifiers to its Move characteristic, Advance rolls and charge rolls.

Contagions of Nurgle

If every unit from your army has the DEATH GUARD keyword (excluding UNALIGNED units), this unit gains the following ability:

Nurgle's Gift (Contagion): While an enemy unit is within Contagion Range of this unit (see below), subtract 1 from the Toughness characteristic of models in that unit.

Profiles:

Unit	M	WS	BS	S	T	W	A	Ld	Save
Plague Surgeon	5"	3+	3+	4	5	4	4	8	3+

Abilities
Tainted Narthecium (Aura): While a friendly BUBONIC ASTARTES INFANTRY unit is within 3" of this model, each time a model in that unit would lose a wound, roll one D6; on a 6, that wound is not lost.
Revitalising Malignancy: At the end of your Movement phase, this model can heal one friendly BUBONIC ASTARTES INFANTRY model whose unit is within 3" of it. That model regains up to D3 lost wounds. Each model can only be healed once per turn.
Disgustingly Resilient: Each time an attack is allocated to a model in this unit, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack (to a minimum of 1).
