The Plague Reaper is a type of Super Heavy Tank used by Nurgle-affiliated Chaos forces. A corrupted Baneblade, it is a gurgling clouded fortress of pestilence and disease. Huge vats of slime are mounted on the back of the vehicle, which feeds the main weapon of the vehicle. This pus-cannon fires a biological agent that causes the unfortunate victim to erupt in boils and have their flesh eaten away from within. Its interior is infested by Nurglings.[1]
If a Plaguereaper is destroyed, it will rupture and disperse its toxic and corrosive plagues , hurting all nearby units with the exception of the followers of Nurgle.[1]
Besides the turret-mounted pus-cannon, the Plageureaper is also armed with a hull-mounted demolisher cannon and twin-linked heavy bolters as well as two sponsons, each with a lascannon and twin linked heavy bolters. It is equipped with a searchlight and smoke launchers and can be upgraded with a pintle-mounted twin-linked bolter or combi-flamer and a havoc launcher. The Plaguereaper is armoured in corroded armour plating.[1]
