History
The Plaguebones were originally the loyal Snakebones Chapter, until their fateful encounters with the Death Guard, in the Subiaco Diablo Sector, during the Eleventh Black Crusade. The Chapter clashed repeatedly with the Death Guard, as they fought to defend the Sector, but they were forced to retreat from each battle, when they were swarmed with Plague Zombies. However, each time the Snakebones' Chapter Master, Kortharis, gave the order to retreat, he made sure their Apothecaries were given enough time to recover their fallen Battle Brothers' Progenoid Glands. This proved to be their undoing though, as the Chapter did not known that the Plague Zombies they fought, carried the Destroyer Plague within them and had thoroughly infected each of the Progenoid Glands with the deadly disease. When the infected Progenoid Glands were later implanted into new members of the Snakebones, the Destroyer Plague emerged and soon corrupted the entire Chapter. Devoted to his men, Kortharis sought a solution to the disease, but none could be found - until Grandfather Nurgle answered his plea for aid. Soon enough, the entire Chapter embraced their new condition and were reborn as the Plaguebones.[1]
Now loyal servants to Nurgle, the Warband have fought many battles in his name and lead Daemons and Renegade Militia against the Plague Lord's enemies. They have also struck up a friendship and alliance with their fellow Nurgle Warband, the Death Bringers.[1]
