Nurgle is for people who have given up all hope and just want an out, and they're willing to trade their soul to get it.

The thing about Nurgle is that he's not directly offering you good things on paper. Sure his followers are screaming about his gifts, but to the average onlooker that's just a giant zombie monster thing trying to spread horrible deadly diseases. How Nurgle works is that he gets you down to the lowest he can. Stagnation, sickness, filth, famine, anything that makes every waking moment of your life pain. Then he offers you a way out, by saying that if you just embrace it, accept that everything is garbage and everything is doomed, you'll be happier. So you do, and get turned into a crazy guy who loves the sickness because you're now part of it, and can live through it.

>>53956167
You might have cancer, then the other three won't help you.

> Emotions such as fun or pleasure are devoid


Mate, Papa Nurgle is the jolliest guy there is. He and his have fun all day every day, becauze they've embraced a freeing sort of nihilism.
Go with the flow man.

It is with the power of the dark gods.

>>53956167
You generally don't just think "boy I would love to be a sex crazed maniac who slices his own penis open for the sexual thrill" it is a slope that you slowly slide down until you are a full blown heretic.

Nurgle is the god of death and decay but also numbness to that death and decay. You hate your life and nurgle makes you numb to the pain of life.

Khorne is the god of professional sociopaths, people who join the military or police so they can legally kill people.
Slaanesh is the god of trust fund kids who never had to deal with conflict or suffering and thus need ever greater extremes to thrill themselves
Tzeentch is the god of politicians and businessmen, manipulating and misleading people for wealth and power
Nurgle is the god of wage slaves, people who simply want each specific day to end as soon as possible

>>53956167

Everything that Chaos offers is a lie. Khorne's violence is unending and pointless. There's no real victory because nothing matters except battle itself. Slaanesh makes you need to delve further and further into depravity to even feel anything at all. Tzeentch is fickle and incomprehensible. If he hasn't turned you into a tentacle monster or a potted plant yet, it's because he still needs to use you as a puppet to accomplish who knows what. None of them satisfy your desires. They turn you into addicted abominations.

Nurgle's gifts aren't any more destructive. He's just more honest.

No. If you're going to serve Slaanesh, go all the way or go home.

>>53957031
I though it was go all the way or be used to go all the way.

>>53956918
It's not a lie, it's acceptance of the pointlessness. It's affirming that feelings, pure, unadulterated emotion, is the only thing that matters. Rage and bravery, pleasure and striving for perfection, knowledge and secrets, acceptance and relaxation, these are the things life is truly made of. The corpse god only offers a brutal death, a sacrifice to humanity's denial of reality. The chaos gods offer more. Either way, when you die, it will be horrible, and you'll probably be eaten by a demon. At least with chaos you get to express life, instead of suppressing everything that makes it worth living, before you die. And maybe, if you're lucky, YOU will be the one eating the demon when you die!

Read Liber Chaotica Nurgle. It covers this exact question.

The gist of it is he's the god who makes people follow him out of the belief that he's the only one that can save them. He openly thrives on the continued suffering of his followers, but keeps them from death.

>>53957010
Self-destruction. Plenty of market for that.

>>53956809

Nurgle is also seen as a god of survival, the drive to live inspired by the knowledge of death.

Tzeentch sounds like the worst one to follow

He didn't? I don't know what that even matters though. The point is that all of chaos gods destroy you and steal your soul. None of them are a "better" option than Nurgle.

>>53956977

I disagree, but regardless, I don't think "fun" is exactly what it is anymore once Khorne has you. You can't function without violence anymore. Nothing else makes you feel. You do it because you are compelled to.

Addiction isn't when you do something because it's fun. It's when you do something because not doing it is misery. It's about as far from fun as you can get.

>>53957232
Tzeentch is as the Tao, formless and of perfect Will. All play his Grand Game, some are simply more aware of their role. Change is the only constant of the universe, to resist this is futile. And hey, you just might get some magic powers in the course of things! Either way you die and return to the warp, the energies of your soul devoured and recycled, like a corpse in the wild.

>>53957272
You've never enjoyed an adrenaline rush? The exaltation of defeated enemies? The purest ecstasy of blind, unthinking, berserk rage?

First edition fluff was kind of insane and at times so bad it was funny, but there are definitely things that were done better in the past. In 1E the answer to OP's question would've been, "But you're fucking wrong," because in 1E Nurgle was all about a maniacal defiance of despair. You didn't actually actually become emotionless, you held surrender and despair in gleeful contempt. Being a chaos god who subsists on emotion, Nurgle didn't purge all of your fucking emotions. That would be retarded.

>>53956962
Not really
Slannesh is for those who desire pleasure because they are brunt out.
Eventually you'll have no impulse control and decide to do it anyway because you've plumbed the depths of sadism.

The best part of this mephistophelian deal is that, for most worshipers, they still FEEL the space aids. That's the real devil in this detail, most Nurgle cultists can feel every bubbling boil, every knot of their poisoned bowels, every flash of stomach-churning migraines and blinding agony of sloughing skin. It just won't kill them.

>>53959263
wasnt nurgle all about not feeling pain anymore?

>>53959487
Not every Nurgle unit gets that "feel no pain" ability, so no. He frees you from the pain of death and the pain of fearing death, not the pain of disease.

Guess that makes plague marines literal walking pain machines
But would they really? would slaanesh not delight in how much pain they are undertaking every second of their life? and with every new disease do they not also get more pain?

Once when I was drunk at a blowout barbeque/extended family reunion, I insulted my lecherous weasel of a step-cousin, broke his nose, and beat the shit out of him. I have to admit, that was pretty fun. I only did it because he used to beat his girlfriend, who was the daughter one of my dead father's best friends. Afterwards he stopped, and he doesn't make eye contact with me anymore.

>>53959737
If you've got to rationalize the why then you didn't do it purely for violence.

Literally the only god that loves you in the whole setting. He may also love the critters that live in you, and want you to play host to many of your lesser brothers and sisters in chaos, but that doesn't stop him from loving you, and he makes sure that it doesn't kill you or cause too much suffering.

Nigga Nurgle is the chillest person in the entire fucked up galaxy that is Warhammer 40k.

He also loves a good laugh and mischief, his lesser demons are all about being adorable rascals who will play with your guts and do some pratfalls.

His most basic demons are some bizarre looking cyclops looking motherfuckers know for counting. They just stand there with a smile counting shit and that's about it.

Also you are fucking immortal. No frets, no buts. You cannot die even if you are killed. Suck a dick Shirou.

>>53960235
Nurglings probably live the comfiest lives in 40k.

>>53956167

Nurgle is really the only choice that makes sense, if we're assuming that the person making the choice is still sane (probably not).

Khorne doesn't care about his followers, only the violence they can instigate. Let's face it, if you're not a paragon of martial combat, you're going to die within the first few weeks of worshiping Khorne.

If you follow Tzeentch you're signing up to get fucked over by your god at some point because you're just a tiny piece in the plan that will come to fruition one thousand years from now.

Retards think Slaanesh is the best because they think it's all hookers and blow... until they find out, oh, it's also totally about shoving glass up your rectum, eating vomit, blowing out your ear drums with sound, and so on, all so that you can keep up with the escalating demand for that pleasure high.

With Nurgle, you're actually appreciated. Sure you're a corpulent fucked up disease monster, but at least your god actually gives a shit about you, and is downright ecstatic to have you as a new worshipper. And hey now you have a bunch of new friends! Say hello to all the new life growing inside you, waiting to share the gifts of Grandfather. It's not a good life by any standard, but it's a hell of a lot better than getting fucked over by the other three gods.

>>53959522
You're both wrong

Nurgle worshippers don't feel the pain of their diseases, They still bear the marks, but are effectively immune to everything they carry.

The real monkey's paw is that if they are afflicted with leprosy, space aides or something, they don't heal from it. They become immune, they won't die from it, but their body are still festering, riddled with the ailment.

Nurgle is accepting the inevitability of death and revelling in the idea of spreading the malady as much as you can in order to make everyone like you

Nurgle worshippers are no different from those paople who are infected with real aids or other highly infective illness and actively try and spread it as much as they can

And yes, there are real people who do that

>>53956167
When you live in the underhive and are so riddled with infection, disease, and cancers that every time you cough you're hacking up parts of your lung and every shit is a waterfall, becoming more diseased doesn't matter.

What matters is that someone is telling you your horrible form is perfect, and he knows a God who will love you for it unconditionally.

I'm pretty sure you're trolling us.

But for the off chance that your not, death worshiping edgelords like ol' Morty tend to be a minority within Nurgle's followers.

Most of Nurgle's followers are people who know that they're going to become a suffering statistic due to systemic entropy, starvation, a horrible plague, or a number of other causes native to a cold, unfeeling world under the colder, more unfeeling Imperium of Man.

And it's an enemy that you can't shoot or whack with a weapon. People instead discover the embodiment decay and rebirth, and they join in. For them, by participating in the slow decline of the 40k universe, it means they aren't going to get ground under it's heel. Not just that, but it's something that's going to go to work for them, accepting them for who and what they are, making them stronger and more resilient, and giving them new life.

A festering satire of a new life, but a new life nonetheless.

And it all comes from reaching out to make sure that you're not a victim of a slowly dying galaxy.

>>53960071
It's a wonder how people can't see that, by his own wacky, deranged standards, Alex jumped the sharks months ago.

This is false, nurgle followers don't suffer at all as a result of their diseases. The pact they make with nurgle is explicitly about release from their suffering.

After reading this thread and the many interpretations and theories of the gods of Chaos, I've come to the conclusion that they all are more or less like "Fuck it! I'm whatever you need me to be! Just worship me god damn it!"

>>53956167

Nurgle embodies safety and comfort more than any other being.

If you're with Nurgle you never need to challenge yourself or grow, you will be loved unconditionally with no expectations.

When you wish you could just stay in your computer chair and shitpost for the rest of your life and never have to really DO anything again, it is Nurgle you call out to.

He really is the god of NEETs, completely abandoning yourself to stagnancy because it is easy.

this guy gets it

Disease and rot and death aren't painful, what is painful is trying to escape them. The cure is what truly harms you because it means you are trying to get out of a state you find undesirable to make yourself "Better" and as long as you remain 'not' better you will be pained. The struggle for change is where misery is found.

Nurgle tells you to love the pain, to embrace it. If you don't fight the rot, if you learn to make it a part of you, then it cannot harm you. Why fight it? It is so much easier to just sink into it, like a warm swaddling cloth.

>>53962085

They're starter set minis, basically only a step up from push fit. I sort of expect meh sculpts on starter sets.

>>53956167
>Can someone explain why would anybody follow Nurgle?
Because you love what you have and you don't want to die or for things to change. You don't want to worry about all the shit that's going on, you just want to kick back and say 'fuck it'. You don't want to lose your children, your wife, or your home.

Nurgle is the most insidious of the gods, because while most of the other prey on the helpless, the obsessed or manic, or those that want more and more, Nurgle preys on those that have no reason to turn to the dark gods, those that just want to keep what they have, and those that are actually already content with life.

>>53961961
Nurgle is more like Buddha, accepting that life is suffering and suffering is caused by desire. Achieve bliss by destroying your ego and joining the great cycle of existence.

To Khorne you're only as good as your next kill.
To Tzeentch you're nothing but a pawn.
To Slaanesh, you're nothing but a hole or a dildo on a skateboard that talks.

Nurgle is TRUTH,
Nurgle is REALITY,
Nurgle is The TERRIBLE WORD that is LIFE and DEATH in the sSAME BREATH.
Nurgle understands,
Nurgle is BHUDDA,
NURGLE LOVES YOU.

>>53956167
Isn't Nurgle the only Chaos God with a girlfriend?

>>53956291
Reading Cadian Blood right now, that's exactly how it goes.

Basically Nurgle infects your planet with some super genocide murder plague that kills everyone besides those with SoB levels of faith in the Emperor, optionally turning all the dead into zombies later on.
Only ones that get spared are those pledging allegiance to Nurgle, which in most cases will be entire city districts/regiments. Everyone else dies of the plague or gets eaten by zombies.

However while many of those new cultists will be of the usual 'loyal to the death' sort, many of them only did switch to save their skins and will only fight against loyalist forces because they want to stay alive, some of them even try to (pointlessly, they get BLAMed without mercy even by guardsmen) surrender to Imperial forces if they see no other way out.

Nurgle is unlike most other Gods you see, for he actually gives a shit about his followers. He delights in their successes and cries in their failures. Most people join Nurgle out of necessity, their bodies wracked by disease and plague, they hear the whispers of Nurgle. Those that choose to serve Nurgle are granted immunity from the terrible pains of their bodies and, while the diseases still plague their bodies, they dont care, for they feel better than ever before! Nurgle grants his followers a second chance in life, and thats why they love Him.
Nurglites also have a much stronger sense of comradery than other followers of the Dark Gods. They often refer to Nurgle as Papa or Grandfather, and thus see all other Nurglites as their cousins or brothers. So when you join Nurgle, you join a loving family.
And while yes, some of his followers wolo in self pity, and are grim edgelords, most embrace their new gifts. They know that, now matter how bad things get, Papa Nurgle will win in the end. This is a big terrible universe, and you are in a really shitty situation, so why skulk? Laugh! Be joyful and playful, for the universe is shity, so why bother been sad?

Nurgle is best God, that is known.

Nurgle's servants aren't undead though, and his brand of Chaos is Stagnation brought on by a lack of change and static karma, effectively, he's the guy who's around when you want to kill yourself, look at the state of the decaying world that doesn't change, and wish for it all to end.

He's basically kind of accepting the inevitability of death and wanting to gift it to everyone, because at least the pain keeps you alive and going to validate that you exist.

Necromancy? Last time I checked, Nagash penned and printed that, and Malal Sponsored it, it's probably gonna be important now that Ynnead's shown up and I suspect that this is the break Malice was waiting for, if he drops that in 40k the Imperium would have a massive anal schism over how to handle the new flavour of Grimdark added to the nightmare smoothie, on one hand, they can now drop nids like flies and worry less about Nurgle's lot, but the other presents the batshit misuse of necromancy, it's easy provision of power, it's own brand of corruption, and the people using it for good means, next to it fucking up things like just about ever listable servitor, and putting the whole "Should we really litter our cities in the polished skeletons of the dead" Is asking for a planetary wide incident.

Yeah, imagine Malal comes back and he smack drops necromancy in, gaining power from the Anarchy as Tzeentch Scrambles about wheezing in his multiple voices which say things ever so slightly differently from when the first line is spoken till it doesn't sound like his original statement as he kvectch's that the ass-biter of Chaos just jeopardized millennia of planning with a single move.

Salvation.

Seriously, basically he is the only ending where your soul doesn't get eaten in the warp.

Unless you're a psyker then yes, he does actually eat your soul.

He fuses his soul with yours. :^)

Because the gun up your ass is a great motivator

But in more general terms; it's the status quo. 99.9% of people in the world are fine with the status quo. Not happy, but fine. Yeah, better would be better, but better would also require a lot of work and it could be worse, we could be [insert shithole place].
The Emperor is basically Disney Corp.

Revenge. The chance to find the fuckers who worship the Big Four, the people who murder, rape, and burn everything in the name of those FUCKING gods, and kill them in a way that refuses them their sick, twisted pleasures. Khorne v. Malal fights aren't big and glorious like Khorne wants, Slaanesh v. Malal isn't full of passionate battle or displays of martial prowess. Tzeentch and Nurgle v. Malal ends too quickly for them to twist the fight or to degrade the spirit of Mala's forces.

Essentially, he's for Chaos people who want to kill the Chaos gods, whereas the Emperor/Sigmar are for normal people who want to kill the Chaos gods. I wouldn't be shocked if, somewhere back when Malal was canon, it was planned for Archeon "I hate the Chaos Gods" Everchosen to be a secret champion of his.

>worst thing that can happen to you is that you die
This is why Khorne is the best

>>53960346
>Let's face it, if you're not a paragon of martial combat, you're going to die within the first few weeks of worshiping Khorne.
Not true. There are assassins and blood cults dedicated to Khorne. Other than in modern 40k/Age of Shitmar fluff, Khorne isn't just RAARRRGH MURDER DEATH KILL RAGE.

>If you follow Tzeentch you're signing up to get fucked over by your god at some point because you're just a tiny piece in the plan that will come to fruition one thousand years from now.
Entirely true, however, there is nothing saying that you will get fucked over just because he's got plans. He'll use you for his plans, but the idea is that you'll use him for yours. You can be a servant of Tzeentch AND get ahead. He'll still fuck you over if he has to, of course, but if he doesn't, it won't.

>Retards think Slaanesh is the best because they think it's all hookers and blow.
Retards do think that, because they think that Slaanesh is just debauchery and porn and coke. But Slaanesh is all about perfection, and the greatest of muses. Nothing says that you have to end up shoving glassware up your ass. You probably will, but by that time, you won't care.

>>53960369
This is true. You can also be blessed with the ability to throw up Nurglings at will, and shit like that.

>also emotions such as fun, pleasure or growth are devoid.
But that's not true Anon.

Nurglites are some of the happiest followers of Chaos. The Plaguebearers are down right giddy a lot of the time. Fuck Greater Unclean Ones are like goddamn Santa, giving out gifts to whoever they can.

Nurglites are beyond pain, they know the universe is slowly rotting and they smile anyway.

He loves you.

>>53956167
You don't seem to know shit about Nurgle.

He's the all father, embodiment of birth, death, rebirth and is probably the most joyous of all the Chaos Gods. Indeed, his joy from a great concoction in his cauldron is, well, infectious.

Also, if anything he's the least "evil" of them all since most of what he is, is simply the natural order of things - the cycle of creation and decay.

This is why he and Tzeentch hate each other, since T is all about bending the rules to try and change the cosmic game but as Nurgle knows, the inevitable cannot be indefinitely staved off and he who was the first to awaken to it will be the last to behold it.

Perhaps T does realize this and it is what drives him - the thought that no matter what convoluted plots he weaves, oblivion and Nurgle as its last witness is the final unchangeable cosmic truth.

>>53982465
No only great unclean ones and nurglings are giddy. Nurglings being devoid of higher thought. plague bearers are expressly dour and sad sacks of puss. Heralds of Nurgle are literally desk workers who can't get a day off. His human followers are even worse.

>>53982166
>There are assassins and blood cults dedicated to Khorne
Those groups literally spend their entire lives honing their "perfect kills" in order cause the bloodiest death and are good to the point they get recruited by Inquisitors fairly often. So there pretty paragon when it comes to martial combat.

Nurgle loves me! This I know,
For this illness tells me so;
Little ones to him belong;
We are weak, and he grows strong.

Nurgle loves me! This I know,
As he loved so long ago,
Taking lepers on his knee,
Saying, “Let them come to me.â€

Nurgle loves me still today,
Watching all my flesh decay,
Wanting as a friend to give
Whooping cough to all who live.

Nurgle loves me! He who tried
To make life diversified;
He will wash away my pain,
Letting his plagues fall like rain.

Nurgle loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
I have bled and died for thee,
All will henceforth worship thee.

Still more than the Chaos gods who have proven to only protect like, 1 or 2 guys per god.

Is Malal a Chaos god?
What twisted aspect of human emotions does he represent?
I thought he was just another of the obscure figures from the old lore that practically ceased existing because GW completely forgot about them.

>>53963383
40k doesn't have a canon.
On purpose, so you can make the game you want.
And so we don't have to put up with whining spergs all day.

Nurgle is love.
Nurgle is life.

Imagine the angriest you've ever felt, the kind of anger that makes you feel like shit and unable to enjoy anything. Now imagine feeling that way forever.

Do you know what it feels like to be addicted? To always be craving something and be willing to stoop to any level to get it. And each time you get whatever it is you crave you need more of it and sooner, and the more time you spend without it the more painful life becomes. Imagine feeling like that forever.

You crave knowledge but you'll only find questions. You'll crave power but only be a pawn. Imagine feeling like that forever.

Do you know what it's like to feel loved? Feel at peace? To no longer feel pain? Imagine feeling like that forever.

Well, he's more and more a true God, with capital "G", he cares about humanity as a whole while being more and more distant, more and more seeing things from a broader perspective. The so called "gods" of chaos are a just a bunch of monomaniacal tulpas made from warp stuff. Khorne can't stop being angry, Slaanesh can't stop being self absorved, Nurgle can't stop being an entropic process and source of diseases, Tzeentch can't stop plotting. If they do... poof! They are gone!
While the Emperor can choose, can think by itself.
And that's why he, or better, it, is really scary. It's more and more a cosmic thing, detached, so above all. The chaos "gods" are at the end of the day, really, really petty "beings". The Emperor is something more.
