Plague Marshes
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Plague Marshes are a region in the southeast of the Equatorial Jungle on Armageddon.[1]
The Marshes are believed to be one of the deadliest regions of Armageddon due to the environmental conditions, local fauna and flora and the prevalence of disease that spreads through the area. The Feral Orks that infest the Jungle, however, are largely unaffected. This caused significant problems during the Third War for Armageddon, as any Imperial Guard units posted here suffered from heavy losses even if they did not engage the orks in battle.[1]
