These daemons are known for their resilience and ability to withstand damage, making them formidable in battle. They carry the Plague Sword, a weapon that inflicts disease upon their enemies. Plaguebearers are often accompanied by the sound of their infectious laughter, which reflects their twisted joy in spreading suffering.
