Why doesn't Nurgle just make a highly contagious disease

Warhammer 40k is designed to sell army models.

Nurgle wants dispair and also he doesn't actively desires the death of his followers.

Because space marines already have stupid high disease tolerance. It would have to be really contagious as well as strong enough to actually survive a whole year in a SM body.

>>54659747
Because to Chaos, it's not about winning or losing, just causing the most destruction in their respective speciality.

Nurgle is the god of death, but also the god of despair, watching something decay and corrode is far more demoralizing than just a violent explosion. He wants his diseases to be noticed, to be feared.

Nurglite diseases are supernatural. They don't work like ordinary diseases. They go after the soul. If your soul is not guarded by sufficient willpower or faith, you get infected and die. Sometimes it takes a long while and sometimes in a few minutes. It depends on the plague and the infectee.

Here is an example of an exploding disease.

>620.M39 The Dust War

>On the edges of the Ork Empire of Octarius the Death Guard and the Overfiend’s hordes fight over the Urgorn Dust Cloud. A vast asteroid field of psychokinetic rock, the cloud coalesces around the space hulks and scrap-fortresses of the Orks, creating tiny worlds with micro-atmospheres. The Terminus Est wreaks havoc by infecting the environments with its Warp-fly miasma, the ship choking their tiny atmospheres with the bodies of billions of insects. Orks die in their millions, their green corpses bursting into rotting puddles of virulent disease. Yet the war rages on for months as more and more of the aliens spill out of the Octarius Empire looking for a good fight.

Don't give them ideas anon!
Chaos is always listening to you!

Agreed. Is there any more of her? Also can I have a picture of her wearing maid outfit with a prime number on it? I can't get aroused by anything else.

>>54659747
because chaos is not about efficiency in pursuing an objective

it's about how metal the situation gets on the way there

Better idea, why doesn't he just fuck up their gene-seed, rendering them infertile, defective, or mutagenic?
