Unstoppable Siege Fire: Death Guard Plagueburst Crawler
Because Death Guard infantry armies advance at a deliberate, grinding pace, they frequently struggle against mobile enemy gunlines and squads hiding out of line of sight. Without heavy fire support, your Plague Marines risk taking attrition before ever closing the distance. The Death Guard Plagueburst Crawler eliminates this vulnerability, functioning as both an unyielding mobile bulwark and a long-range siege platform that roots out entrenched enemies from safety.
Fusing mechanical devastation with warp-tainted daemonic flesh, this heavy siege tank rolls inexorably into battle. Its colossal front dozer blade crushes barricades and terrain, while its rear-mounted mortar blankets target coordinates in clouds of hyper-corrosive spores.
Tabletop Artillery Superiority & Armored Dominance
1. Parabolic Indirect Fire with the Plagueburst Mortar
The centerpiece weapon of this tank is the massive Plagueburst mortar. Boasting exceptional range and a parabolic firing arc, it bombards priority infantry and heavy units hiding behind obscuring ruins without needing direct line of sight. The resulting spore bursts chew through armor saves and inflict steady mortal wound pressure on tightly clustered formations.
2. Customizable Dual Weapon Profiles
The kit features interchangeable wargear options to let you tailor the tank’s battlefield role to your match strategy:
- Anti-Tank Firepower: Mount twin entropy cannons on the side sponsons to crack open enemy transports, tanks, and towering monsters at extended range.
- Anti-Infantry Sweepers: Fit dual plaguespitters to auto-hit charging assault units and incinerate swarms that get too close.
- Hull Weaponry: Complement your build with either a center-mounted heavy slugger or a high-rate-of-fire rothail volley gun.
3. Extreme Daemonic Durability
As a true Nurgle Daemon Engine, the Plagueburst Crawler is engineered to soak up staggering amounts of incoming damage. Combining high base Toughness, a reinforced armor save, and an innate daemonic invulnerable save, this tank forces your opponent to expend their heaviest anti-armor assets just to slow its relentless advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Plagueburst mortar require line of sight to shoot?
No. The Plagueburst mortar operates as an indirect fire artillery weapon, allowing you to target and fire upon enemy squads completely concealed behind obscuring terrain features or battlefield buildings.
Can the weapon sponsons be magnetized?
Yes. The sponson mountings are well-suited for miniature hobby magnets (such as 3mm x 1mm or 3mm x 2mm neodymium magnets), allowing you to swap between entropy cannons and plaguespitters depending on your army list needs.
Does this kit come with a display or flying base?
No base is included or required. Like most standard tracked tanks in Warhammer 40,000, the Plagueburst Crawler rests directly on its heavy-duty armored tracks.
