I picked Nurgle by process of elimination. The gods are supposed to represent subconscious thoughts, and when it comes to violence, perverted thoughts, and scheming, say no more. Nurgle's just harder to explain.

I'm buildting a mono-Nurgle daemon army, though.

I disagree that the chaos gods are "supposed" to be purely internal/subconscious representations.

Slaanesh is the "sensation for sensation's sake".... which definitely implies an action or other outward things. Hence why Slaanesh's "chosen" marines in 40k are the Noise Marines.
Khorne is obviously the blood god, and well... I don't think he needs much explaining.
Yes, Tzeentch is fairly internal, scheming and knowledge and all that.

But, Nurgle simply represents the natural decay of all things. Of course, GW added in that with this decay he brings disease and whatnot. For me, Nurgle is as simple as that, the natural decline and decay of all things.

Hate Nurgle.

He corrupted my second favorite group of Space Marines, the Death Guard. They weren't even trying to become traitors either, Montarion was forced to take action with the destroyer virus...

He could have died an honorable death for the Emperor rather than this perverted facade of life working against humanity.

Slaanesh! Sooooo obnoxious fluff and play wise.
