I was playing some CSM and his plauge marines had a Armor save, invul save,

and if he fails these he gets to re-roll his failed wounds, 1,2,3 he dies and lives on a 4,5,6....why is this???

Plague Marines dont have an invulnerable save unless theyre in cover. They have Feel No Pain, meaning if they fail their armour save they can ignore it on a 4+ or take it and die on a 1-3.

As suggested by anitcitizen, the 4+ is the universal special rule of Feel No Pain, found on page 75 of the BRB.
And as he also says, unless some special circumstance was involved, the plague marines do not have an Invulnerable save.

its actually more like they dont get an invuln and an armor save. They get FNP regardless(unless hit by specified weapons in the rule).

FNP always comes after the saves, be it armor/cover/invuln, but they only get one save and the FNP USR. Not multiple saves.
