Yes, yes you do.

The mistake here is that you have looked at this as a logical being.

Stahp that.

Bad. Bad logical being.

Squint at it sideways, reflected, back-to-front, inside-out and upside-down, and you'll... something something understanding.

Also i wouldn't say being love by nurgle is better than the other gods, you are still just a plaything.

Call me C, paint me green, and hand me to the Plaguefather!

Okay everybody, you do not feel pain or suffering from disease if you praise Nurgle. The whole reason you do worship him is for the immunity to disease.

The strange thing about Nurgle is that he has a thing for fatherly love, and taking care of his followers, and life (sorta), but he also lives off despair and death...

If you think that Chaos is inherently pure evil...

It tells me that you started playing in 6th edition after buying a bunch of Ultramarines.

And stop assuming what army I played and indicating my ignorance. I began playing CHAOS MARINES in 5th edition. Take your bigotry elsewhere.

If you follow Khorne, you will feel rage and anger forever.
If you follow Slaanesh, you feel less and less pleasure as time goes on + eternal agony after death.
Tzeentch followers are usually Psykers and those who seek knowledge etc., but they are all Tzeentch's pawns in the end.

Nurgle followers are disgusting, bloated and yucky in general, but they are esentially immortal, completely immune to pain and just feel great.

I am actually not sure what happens to Nurgle's followers after their death, but since Nurgle is probably the only Chaos God that isn't a complete douche, how bad can it be?

Because I don't want to be a fat fething disgusting pile of refuse, lol.

He'll give you every disease in the galaxy, but you won't even feel it. People around you will die though. So that's a downside...

That Nurgle is a pretty fun guy to be around, just like Khârn.

While in fluff Nurgle does care more for his mortal followers, his gifts arnt always practical.

Gaining charisma, and the power of seduction and persuasion with worshipping Slaanesh. Allowing you to bed the person of your dreams or make more money, land the corner office etc.

Tzeentch grants you knowledge and with him you will learn the power of deciet and forethought. This is as mentioned useful for politicians and other jobs requiring great strategy.

Khorne grants you power and a thirst for conflict. Athletes particularity boxers and other fighters would appreciate the physical gifts of Khorne

Uh, for a Slaanesh cultists, eternal agony of death is actually the happiest result one can have in 40K, as Slaaneshi cultists and champions are pretty much rewired so they enjoy pain. It's why you can't use torture to extract information from them. Only sensory deprivation.

Yeah agreed on the non-canon. People worship Nurgle because they appreciate the cycle of life and death in the world. After death, you will live on as a Plaguebearer who does not experience pain and will live forever.... Only because Nurgle likes his followers.

Yup. While alive as a human you're immune to pain, and Nurgle actually is the easiest Chaos God to gain immortality from if he gifts you Nurgle's Rot, which turns you into a plaguebearer. And once you're a Plaguebearer, you can only perma die if either Nurgle consumes you or IIRC the Ordo Malleus is capable of perma killing daemons.

"Most Nurgleites rarely end up in the service of the Plague Lord willingly; for those who contract a deadly disease or are forced to face the reality of their own mortality, Nurgle offers a potential escape from the painful ravages of illness or an untimely death--in return for an individual's soul and his eternal damnation." - warhammer 40k wikia

I can't find it but somewhere on lexicanum it said those followers who don't win immortality are subjected to terrible disease for the rest of time.

Can you show me where it says Nurgle is the easiest to win immortality?

For one, the Warhammer 40k wiki isn't a source for anything and is just a bunch of laughable uncited fan fiction. I'm talking Codex Pages, books, and stat. And going by the Lexicanum Plaugebearers are created when a mortal succumbs to Nurgle's Rot and are born from his soul, although I remember either FFG or something mentioning they're formed from when a mortal slowly decays until, when they finally die from the disease, they're born in the garden the Nurgle. Implying on some level it actually is the mortal.

It is impossible to verify any information on the 40k wiki except by a word by word analysis, and even then the wiki is filled with fanon, like unofficial pictures or giant paragraphs of unsourced bs. The only actually good 40K wiki is the Lexicanum, and even then it's still a wiki. But the 40k wiki isn't even up to high school standards, just junior high due to everyone on it being lazy as feth and simply dropping sources at the bottom of the page.... but don't actually cite the sources of sentences/paragraphs. In short it's pathetic and nothing on it should ever be taken as true unless you own the material to verify it. Although you still should just cite material from your own 40k library and not rely on wikis in the first place (although admittedly I'm typically too lazy to scrounge for single sentences in a pile of PDF's I have).

Just to sum up how pathetic the 40k Wiki, they finally fixed the Biel-Tan page, but this used to be up for a very long time.Teal Biel Tan colors. The only person I trust from the 40k wiki is Whitefang, but it doesn't help that the 40k wiki is still uncited and barely sourced. It is nowhere near up to the standards of Wookieepedia or the Lexicanum, especially given that pages on official material (notably bolter rounds) are coated in non canon pictures produced by fans.

None of the ruinous powers give one fig for their followers. Only the Emperor loves his people, enough to die for them and bestowing upon them the gift of the light and warmth of the Astronomican.

Also, I would say that Gork and Mork love their followers, blessing them with eternal warfare that they so love to engage in.

Haha no. The Emperor was a tyrant with an ubermensch complex who tried to eradicate all religion, and became a vegetable largely due to his own failed parenting skills. He was hooked up to the Golden Throne, not as a noble sacrifice, but as a desperate last resort by his cleverest and most conniving followers so they could run the Imperium he created in his absence. There he sits to this day, in his adult diapers, unable to do anything about his precious Imperium becoming the antithesis of everything he wanted it to be. When his followers die, their souls dissipate in the Warp and cease to exist, or, if they're particularly unlucky, are tortured and eaten by daemons. Not to be a debbie downer, but that's pretty much where canon stands. GRIMDARK.

As for the OP and all the other debate, think of it like one of those online quizzes. Which kind of Chaos worshiper are you? What's most important to you?
Slaanesh- immediate gratification. Pleasure to any and all of the five physical senses. Also, the ability to bring that pleasure to others and make them love you for it.
Khorne- Strength. Physical power and the ability to dominant or destroy your enemies. Do people push you around? Are you sick of it? Khorne will make you strong enough that you never have to put up with that crap again.
Tzeentch- Making a difference. You want to make an impact on the universe, and Tzeentch can give you the smarts and skills to make it happen. Build your own empire, invent something that will change the galaxy, whatever it is, you're going to leave a legacy that ensures people will remember you FOREVER.
Nurgle- Survival. Toughness and adaptability. You fear extinction more than anything, and seek to overcome it. You don't need to be rich, powerful, or have lots of boy/girlfriends, but at the end of the day, you want to ENDURE.As long as you're still breathing, you still have a chance. Nurgle holds the balance between life and death, and he can tip the scales in your favor.

There are downsides, of course, but when people turn to Chaos they're not thinking about that. One of the above motivations has become so important that they don't care about the consequences.

There's a lot to be said about charging across a battlefield wearing spiky red and gold armour wielding a chainaxe screaming "BLOODFORTHEBLOODGODSKULLSFORTHESKULLTHRONEMAIMKILLBURNMAIMKILLBURNREJOICEINTHECOMINGOBLIVIONDEATHTOTHEFALSEEMPEROR." That's why I play football.

Ok, you wanna sit here and argue about what is canon and what isn't? Or do you wanna explain to me how Nurgle is so warm and kind? Oh and, put a source at the bottom while you're at it.

In the older fluff chaos was not supposed to be the big bad villain that these newer codexes are trying to make it seem. Chaos was change, both for good and bad. When everyone else turned their back on you, you could go to chaos and ask it for help, it always answered. The chaos gods were always looking for new followers, and they were always there if you needed them, as long as you didn't screw up to bad. That does not mean that they were in any way good guys though, they are just a means to an end and when that end comes the price is servitude.

Out of all the chaos gods, Nurgle is the one that seems to care for his followers the most. There is a reason his followers call him father nurgle or grandfather nurgle, because he seems to genuinely care for them. You can see this in how Great Unclean Ones act around their followers. They have even been known to call them "children".

Yeah, except it seems to be limitless sex with girls who look like they come from Hell. Better SoB and IG girls who are nice to look at but you can't have. Better still when the idea and the appearance is always better than the reality.

Why so shallow? it is not about appearances, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and eyes are a distraction, gauge them out! A fun Slaneesh party is like the scene from event horizon.
Off course when you join the coven is starts innocently but once slaneesh got the hooks in you it will slowly degrade your personality, also chaos does things to your mind, once you're a true chaos follower your values and view on things and people will have changed.

So, yeah, sounds right to me.

Here's why you would follow the different Chaos Gods:

Khorne - You've been wronged. Maybe you were just denied a promotion. Maybe someone raped and murdered your daughter. Maybe it wasn't just one event, but rage has been welling up inside you through your whole life, and you're tired of being powerless. No matter why you're pissed, Khorne is on your side. He sees your rage, and he empowers you to take revenge. Fundamentally, that's really what you want. Revenge. Its the way we're wired. Why do you think people attack stubborn vending machines or start race riots? Khorne makes you stronger and faster. He guides to other like-minded individuals, people who want to, for lack of a better term, feth gak up. He helps guide the rage within you, helping you to focus it in on one target. People don't worship Khorne because they want to be angry. They worship Khorne because they want to get even.

Add on to that he is less reliant on trickery and more encourages pure bloodlust. Sold.

If I'd fell for chaos, I'd definately go for Slaneesh for one simple reason... There is something about the way slaneeshi cultists are described. Someone disembowels you? What a sensation!
Arm cut off? Cackle with glee! Gouging your eyes out? Dat feelz...! So basically anything that is bad for you feels good. And we all know that in the grimdark of the far future, many bad things happen.. and you're going to enjoy them!
If only there wasn't that thing that makes everything dull and unsatisfying with time so you go to greater lengths and even bigger depravity to get a kick out of stuff... But hey, just throw yourself against a torturer and go out in laughing orgasms!

Because eternal pleasure, sex, murdering people in bloody ways, and magic powers sound more appealing to a lot of people.

Cannon, I remember before the Chaos Gods were born (I brought Slaves to Darkness & the lost and the Damned) so personally seeing an army with Nurgle and TzeeSCUMtch on the same side is just wrong to me, so according to My chaos law/cannon, some people cannot even exist!

Why I chose Nurgle 20+ year ago to dedicate my life to.
Well, he did just sound more fun and interesting.

Khorne: so boring, all you do each day is fight, and scream for your god to take more skulls, Yawn. My forth choice

Tzeentch: Again interesting, but with all that change, you never know what will [please this God, and it may be different from yesterday. My third choice

Slaanesh: Does seem more fun to start with, but then you think of your God, who cares nothing about torturing you as it will please it, seems like a very selfish God to me, who does not care about followers, only what they can do for it. My Second choice.

Nurgle: Yes his big and smelly, but does like all dieses and decay, boils and tumors, and seems to be the least picky about his followers Overall though it's the fact he thinks of all his followers as one big happy family, and does not seem to care what they do, as all will decay in the end.
It's this attitude which makes him the best God, he cares about all his followers, and they know it. Just look at how happy his puppies are when they meet people (Ok, their new playthings may stop moving after a bit, but they had fun with them when alive). He even has these naughty children, who he lets play around. Yes he may kill some, but this is only by mistake by squashing then when he sits down, never done for pleasure.
My first choice.

So, things to comment on;

Since you have asked about the afterlife, I assume you never read the Black Crusade books, have you? All Nurgle's dying children spend the rest of their existence dancing around in the Garden of Decay with the rest of Nurgle's children. That being said, it really isn't half bad being devoted to the one god listed as the Plaguefather, Papa Nurgle, Grandfather Nurgle, and probably more, in the same book. If you still need a reason, you can always hang out with daddies Elven goddess of a girlfriend, Isha, who happens to be staying in the Garden of Decay as well under house arrest for her own safety.

Also, the gods aren't always so cut and dry. You can have some very pleasant to be around Khornate worshippers.

Sure you do. You just interpret it as something up because your mind's so messed up by the pain that it loses its understanding of what pain is.

It doesn't matter why you don't feel pain. If it's not hurting it's not pain. Nurgle's followers don't suffer and they don't degenerate. They just look like they should be. Everyone making points against following Nurgle in this thread do it all under false pretenses. You definitely suffer the least with him. Vanity is the main reason people would prefer others. Khorne followers definitely die the fastest and spend eternity in agony.

Um, Isha is prisoner. And since she is so good at healing, Nurgle always uses his new diseases on her to see how long it takes her to heal from it.

Papa Nurgle SEEMS nice because he saves people from death in their mortal life. He may seem like a father but dammit he is evil. He is a Chaos god, he resembles despair. I'm done here. You believe what you want and I'll believe what I want.

Which is kinda why I genuinely wish Nurgle existed, so that when I die I could become immortalised as a plague bearer, constantly feeling th epower and joy of all that once made me weak, and becoming part of a great big (if sloppy) party

Better than being absorbed and spending the rest of eternity in stasis in the belly of Slaanesh, ain't it? Nurgle is a great guy. Isha just has to put up with some moderately horrible homemade cooking. And who knows, one day Nurgle might make something fairly edible she likes.

Not counting Nurgle who guarantees a place of daemonhood after death to all mortal followers (usually as a plague bearer). And as with all warp creatures, you can become more powerful and rise up the ranks of daemondom to reach higher levels of daemonhood.
Nurgle is the only god who allows this, as all other gods have a daemonic superiority policy, except for the best of their mortal followers (whose souls are no longer human anyways by the time they receive godly recognition).

Nurgle is the only god who allows this, as all other gods have a daemonic superiority policy, except for the best of their mortal followers (whose souls are no longer human anyways by the time they receive godly recognition).

Source? Show me where it says he GUARANTEES daemonhood.

*digs out books*

On page 34 of the 4E chaos daemons codex, it states that plaguebearers are the product of mortal souls that have been afflicted by Nurgle's rot.
And since Nurgle gives all the best contagions to his followers, they all end up with Nurgle's Rot. So when they die, they become daemons, if they hadn't already ascended.

Bog standard cultests are expendable as they get.
