Sure, sooner we can shut down one set of cultists we can send more resources at the next.

Thanks EoN, dont worry war kitten I promise to be on my best behaviour. On another note my hounds will be gunning for the eldar which are gunning for my chaos guys. That could turn into a three way brawl with two of the three forces being mine !

Dang Irish, you scary.

So, how's the whole "kroot are bad" opinion looking now? Perhaps the gue'la are biting more than they can chew. Perhaps there's a very simple solution, and it is very good at chewing.

Kroot are still bad but that doesn't mean they are not useful, as long as they are not in sight of a certain marine they should be utilised but stupid not to.

Palleus, I take that as a compliment

According to your intro they were already fighting Imperials.

Yes perhaps I wasnt clear in that introduction, that wasn't in the Crion system just some random world where Garathal was raising the dead, he has a habit of doing that.

Oh well we will figure it out soon enough when the thousands dying start walking again.

One thing, does thus undead thing apply to eldar ? Orks ? Space marines ? I think one has to be infected when they die but I do not know the limitation of the Curse of Unbelief.

Orks lore wise are unaffected by choas because of their belief in Mork and their other god. There is some early lore of choas orks but they are the shunned members of the orks. Rare.

Eldar are similar with their fallen gods, usually are not affected in that way by choas.

Space Marines are affect though when and how are debatable in lore.

An ork can get allficted with chaos attacks, but like what Drakka said, rarely turn to chaos. I don't think they'll be coming back to life easily, if at all, but you can definitely use some of Nurgle's powers to try and corrupt them. Do note that this will get some mixed results. Some might gets some scabs and be (even more) gross looking, but don't expect to turn the orks to Nurgle from Gork and Mork.

Space Marines are also resistant to diseases, but they are the most likely to rise from the grave. Personally, it'd be easier to disarm the marines, chain them up, and just load them with countless other diseases until they submit. Once you go Nurgle, you never go back.

Eldar are probably the least likely to fall to chaos. The soulstones may very well protect them from rising, and if that shatters then they go right to Slaanesh anyway. Their bodies could get afflicted as well, if you've got a lot of strength but I seriously doubt that any would stay to chaos if they had any form of sentience. They are the Great Enemy for a reason.

Interesting so it looks like i should stick to imperial guard and the odd space marine then, good to know. What about the infected themselves can they follow orders ? Or are they just brainless?

Well that is interesting question. Since your talking plague zombies specifically it is kind of varied the results. For not every person raises and of those that do each is inflicted differently and get differing resulta on abilities and brains.

What is consistant is no independent thinking but I think simple orders work.

Very well i presume attack such and such an army will work then

Most are just mindless creatures, roaming in packs and generally making themselves a pest. They can be guided though, and I'd use most of the rabble as a distraction and harassment, because if you get some in a new part of the hive, they will cause panic, divert enemy forces to deal with them, and hopefully spread some diseases around. Hurts morale too.

Some might be a bit smarter than the average bear. I do recall in the Space Wolves Omnibus (can't remember which book in the omnibus) that some of the plagued were bagging for an end to their suffering, and could manage some sort of free thinking, even if it was limited to knowing their own life was gak. Cadian Blood did have some of the plagued asking for salvation of the Death Guard who arrived, but most were mindless monsters who wanted to get a bite to eat.

Farseers can get visions of what is to come

Touché Warkitten, and ya blackjack think im gonna use my cultist's for more advanced operations and leave my zombie horde to distract people and soak up damage, bear in mind i do not have any zombies with me at the moment.

Does anybody have lore values of Guard support attachements?

Like Oygrn, Ratlings, Psykers, Techpriest groups, or any other kinds of groups like numbers? Would IG mix with Skitarii on the Regiment level?

Regarding zombie plagues and Nurgle's influence on races.
There's a section in the CSM codex about Mortarion assaulting a Shrine World with infected orks. The orks are tougher and slower, and when they die, Nurglings burst from their corpses. So yeah - orks can be infected.
I'd also say that Eldar can be corrupted too, can most sentient races.

Most of these are sectioned as about a squad per platoon, according to my Infantryman's Primer. They would be spread around the entire regiment, and most likely not deploy as a single entity. For the purposes of this, one auxiliary per platoon sounds right.

Skitarii would be at the bidding of their Techpriest overlords, so unless the AM and AM goals align, I doubt they'd take to the field fully integrated. In fact, I doubt they'd ever fully integrate, given the drastically different styles of combat and doctrine. An attached Skitarii unit here to the main IG taskforce would be reasonable, but no particular integration and teamwork.

So would the orks do my bidding or would they still run around and kill anything that moves and nurglings just burst when they die ? And I presume the eldar could be infected actually seeing as Isha ? The eldar goddess of healing is constantly getting infected by nurrgle who has her in captivity, she heals from them after a short period of course, as to whether they will rise and serve ? Still doubtful but Nurgle has many gifts to spread to his children

I don't want you infecting my Eldar Irish. I have enough issues as is without adding Nurgle's Butt Plague to the mix

Hey, you are coming after me and seeing as most of my plague marines will spread Nurgle's Rot, that is gonna be an issue, well for you anyway

Well, I can't let you run free now can I? If you would kindly refrain from infecting me with your Butt plague that would be just splendid.

Also I'm trying to summon BC

To do that, you must sacrifice four chickens and one rooster. Afterwards you must chant 'Butts' for eight hours straight.
The BC shall appear.

Edit: I am not sure whether to post my piece or wait for TS to make sure its ok. For now, I wait.

Things are going to get interesting very soon it seems. Cogger is going to be the site of WW3, and Nurgle CSM, Space Sharks, Eldar, and Space Puppies are going to be chasing each other around on Crion.

Don't forget that my Wardens have moved in with Kharne. So I really doubt Irish's Green Marines will do much against the combined might of three companies.

Depends on how many Green Marines Irish has.

I feel like Nigerian spam, but I know a certain worker who has a certain set of skills that would make life a living nightmare for people like Irish. However, unlike Nigerian spam, my ads are useful.
