Plague Colony
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Plague Colony is a special formation of the Death Guard Chaos Space Marines.[1]
Seven is known to be the sacred number of Nurgle. Thus are the Death Guard often found organised in squads of seven, banded together into detachments of seven squads. Whether this organisation really draws the attention of the Plague God or not, it does not matter for the Death Guard who carry themselves to war in a style that still reflects the hand of Mortarion, their grim Primarch. And so, the Plague Colonie roam the Galaxy, spreading pestilence and contagion wherever they appear.[1]
