'''Toxic Presence''': This model counts the battle round as being number 4 for the purpose of determining the contagion range of the contagion abilities. 

'''Host of Plagues''': Pick A Plague Company warlord trait. Stacks With other Warlord traits this model has, can not take the same trait as another model in this army.

With the new codex Mortarion is one of the toughest, if not the toughest model in the game. He gets an astounding [[Anal circumference|3 warlord traits]] (The traits he gets are Arch Contaminator (re-rolls to wound on plague weapons), Revoltingly Resilient (5+ to ignore wounds), and Living Plague (enemy units within 3” can’t be affected by aura abilities from the opposing army), and a Plague Company trait. However he's not just nigh unkillable he is also one of the scariest melee combatants in the game. His scythe Silence went from S:x2 AP:-4 D:1d6 Plague Weapon, to S:x2 AP:-4 D:3+d3 Plague Weapon. Giving his re roll buff to himself he will [[Rape|kill anything]]. A full squad of terminators, dead, Smashcaptian, obliterated, Guilliman, he kills him in one round of combat. He also can manifest two powers, knows three, and can deny three. [[Awesome|He is now the Angel of death he should have been in 8th.]]

He's now a pretty decent leader choice for buffing your units, but as stated above he is meant to [[Rip and Tear|Rip and Tear]] anything and everything that gets in his way. Throw him all the way up into the front lines of your enemy, watch as their entire force does 3 wounds to him and then charge them and murder everything in sight. You'll end up on top eventually. He's very much so worth the points cost, in fact you can throw him into chaos soup and he'd still be frighteningly good.

Durability test: Mortarion is one of the toughest models in the game, here's just a reference for how tough he is. Assuming that all of these are hitting with a ballistic score of 3+ this is how many shots he can take from each weapon on average. Bolter shots: 729, Heavy Bolter shots: 243, Melta weapons: 58, Lascannons: 43, and 34 Melta shots in Melta range. WARNING do not, DO NOT, send him into the [[Aza'Gorod|Nightbringer]], he will get killed but hopefully you already knew that.
