The '''Plaguebones''' are a [[Nurgle]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]], who are led by the [[Daemon Prince]] [[Kortharis]].{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The Plaguebones were originally the [[Loyalist|loyal]] '''Snakebones''' [[Chapter]], until their fateful encounter with the [[Death Guard]], within the [[Subiaco Diablo Sector]], during the [[Eleventh Black Crusade]]. The Chapter clashed repeatedly with the [[Traitor Legion]], as the Snakebones fought to defend the Sector, but they were forced to retreat from each battle, when the Death Guard swarmed them with [[Plague Zombies]]. However, each time the Snakebones' [[Chapter Master]], [[Kortharis]], gave the order to retreat, he ensured their [[Apothecaries]] were given enough time to recover the Chapter's fallen [[Battle Brother]]s' [[Progenoid Glands]]. But 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. This resulted in the recovered Progenoid Glands becoming thoroughly infected with the deadly disease. When these 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 the [[Chaos God]] [[Nurgle]] answered his plea for aid. Soon enough, the entire Chapter embraced their new condition and were reborn as the Plaguebones.{{Fn|1}}
