from what i know they are space marines but have been given the girf of nurgle which one makes the carryers of his girfs and if you hang round they will give one of many diseases

whick make the marine harder to kill which on the suface may look rotted but is actly badly diseases and decay mean they  1 can,t get sick be because all really got it 2 poison will not effact them because they are decayed 3 due to all the diseasses decayed tissu they can take large amount of internl damage that wood normally kill a a space marine 4 if you cut plage marin he will not bleed he will leak pus and his skin being decayed they will not feel it.5 due to nurgle they have better healing it will not act as fast but if it does not kill him he will recover

but on the down side the will not move as qick and hope that helps
