Well this one has been driving me nuts for a couple of weeks now so I figured that somewhere someone will have a rational answer that makes sense. I hope.
It is all to do with Plague Marines. They are supposed to carry all manner of highly virulent diseases,infections, plagues that are totally and utterly lethal, right?
So here's my question;
How come when they join up with other chaos warbands/black crusades/other chaos marines; do those other chaos warbands/black crusades/other chaos marines never even end up with so much as a case of sniffles?[ You would expect at least some of them to at least have a runny nose to say the least! I mean it's Nurgle we're talking about here people!
Some may say "Ah, but chaos marines being marines are genetically resistant to such things!". But surely Old father Nurgle is constantly thinking up new nasty concoctions that not even chaos marines genes can cope with(so there!).
Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5564704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5564704.page GMT Achoo!

While they may fight on the same side, I'd imagine the other forces give the Plagueys loooots of personal space.


I think I read in one of the Chaos-y BL books that they pretty much keep them quarantined in a part of the ship far, far away from anyone else.... Kinda the same thing with the more insane berzerkers]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5565145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5565145.page GMT Re:Achoo!

Plague Marines only Marines that wouldn't need them.

Regarding your question, I'd say its because the benefits of Plague Marines outweigh the risk. If you keep them quarantined aboard their own vessels, minimize contact with them, and only really meet with them when wearing void-sealed armor, you might have a chance.

Nuclear bombs irradiate land and risk catastrophic fallout, but if you desperately need to win you'd still be willing to use one.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Plague Marines can't breathe pure air. So they have to use an air de-filtration and de-purification system.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5566801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5566801.page GMT Achoo!

That doesn't make sense...

Dude, where did you read that?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5566822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/524254/5566822.page GMT Re:Achoo!
