Which makes it even funnier.

Ever hear of a death grin?

Because Nurgle is the lesser of 3 evils.

Slaanesh is likely to lose first.
Khorne is likely to kill you even when you do a good job.
Tzeentch is the same but by spawning.

Grandfather Nurgle is the safest place... I mean he may touch you in a naughty place, but it's not gonna go as far as Slaanesh.... unless you find yourself in a Slurgle Cult instead...

Pedobear Approves!
And with a slight fix.

Slurgle=AIDS?

That sounds like a horrible idea.

Couple Reasons-

Terminal Illness

Afraid of disease or death

Loved one ill

Forsaken by all

Nothing Left

Want eternal Life

Total Sicko Wackjob

Nurgle can "save" you from change. People who fear any changes only have to accept one change (the diseases) and then they can be happy knowing they will remain the same for a very long time.

If you have a disease that's causing a lot of pain and will kill you, your probably going to pray to who ever is listening, and nurgle could easily answer. If you suddenly become immune to aging and illness your going to see it as a blessing and think nurgle is good.

In a wierd way I can see nurgle being one of the few happy (ish) ends for the 40k universe. Sure your letting everything arround you collapse but your having a great time doing it and anything bad that happens doesn't matter.

Nurgle Will also:

help you if you are a conservative (hating change)

Help you if you're in pain

Help you if you're reeeealy fat

If you want a horn.

Warfare through STD's... killing the Imperium of Man softly.

Ain't it true, even today...

Arn't you the Debbie Downer...

Just telling the truth, man... ah well.

Khorne clutists = blood crazed maniac killers
Slaanesh cultists = hedonistic debauchers
Tzeentch cultists = scheming magic-users

So why aren't Nurgle cultists more good natured. The Death Guard should always have a funny story / anecdote to share and be great to hang out with, and Typhus should be the life of the party (so to speak).

If you read Ironsnakes it says that the death guard laugh at their enemies, while ripping them to pieces...

I think, as with any of the gods of chaos, they represent not a total dedication, but more of an unnoticed decline.

What I mean is, say in the case of khorne, a very violent man begins killing, eventually killing is not enough, and he must flex his muscles by becoming the master of combat, eventually even this won't be enough to satisfy him, and so he begins seeking out tougher and better opponents, and eventually, by the time he is a foaming maniac whose only desire is to kill, khorne is already waiting.

Tzeentch, master of knowledge, a lone scrivener seeks to expand his intellect, starts researching darker and darker topics until eventually, before he know's he has done it, he has fallen into tzeentch's games.

Slaanesh: see fall of eldar

Nurgle, someone studying say, epidemology begins a quest to learn how disease spreads, soon his petri dishes and rats aren't enough, he starts injecting people in the populace, soon enough the only way the satisfy his obsession with disease is to go for a cup of tea with grandpa.


IMHO, the gods represent obsessions, and the followers of the gods are those who have sucummbed fully to their obsessions, and are willing to embrace the chaos gods because as a mere mortal they can no longer fulfil thier obsessions.

Incidentally, another year or so and this universe might see the birth of the chaos god of plastic and glue

see, that's the problem. ANYONE can easily succumb to lust or anger or pride.

It appears that only doctors would ever hear the call of bloating themselves full of disease and then infecting others.

Nurgle is the scariest because sometimes he comes for you. You don't even need to turn to him. Every virus and Bacterium is his vanguard. There's a little bit of Nurgle in all of us.

Or those who hate their mortality, a person who has slowly been dieing of cancer will seek help from anyone or anything.

Nurgle Aims to please.
There is a little bit of all the Chaos Gods in all of us... the only one you want to limit is a Keeper of Secrets getting into you .... or out... D:

You know, maybe it's a lot like christianity. An angry god threatens you with ruin and destruction, and the only way out is by joining him. You have to be plagued, but at least you don't die horribly because of the god's power.

pretty much.

When i get really sick, i worry that i might hack up a nurgling.
Ever smell a tonsil stone? yeah thats what i figure nurgle is like!

It's cause Papa Nurgle Luuurves you!

Because Nurgle will keep you healthy for the rest of eternity. You may be infected with a plague, your flesh may rot, but you will feel better than you ever did before. You will never fear sickness, or feel pain again.
And nurglings are just about the cutest models.
