Category:Nurgle
In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, Nurgle is the god of disease, decay and consistancy. He is the oldest of the four chaos gods and is the most involved with the plights of mortals. Many of those affected by his poxes usually turn to him in order to escape the pain caused by sickness. The physical likeness of Nurgle is described as a giant wormlike creature with a gaping, fang filled maw and thousands of open wounds. The traitorous Death Guard Chaos Space Marine Legion serve him solely.
Nurgle's anti-thesis is Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, because, where Tzeentch seeks to build, and plot, and scheme, Nurgle only seeks to destroy, and break down.
Nurgle's sacred number is seven.
The inspiration for Nurgle comes from the Babylonian god Nergal
Nurgle also embodies the will of mankind to struggle on no matter what opposes them. Suffering, death etc: the human race pushes these things from their minds and tries to forget them by living in the moment. For this reason he, his daemons and followers usually demonstrate a disturbing jovility and joy at the pestilence that he inflicts, seeing the plagues as gifts and the cries of their victims as gratitude rather than agony. He is often referred to as "Grandfather Nurgle," "Father Nurgle" or "Papa Nurgle" by his followers because of this paternal stance.
-Nurglings resemble Orkish Snotlings (with the exception of being disease ridden)
-Plague Bearers are of vaguely humanoid appearance, with a single burning eye. They are often refered to as the 'Tallymen of Nurgle' for they constantly strive to number the poxes and represent the need of humanity to impose order on a chaotic and uncaring universe.
-Beasts of Nurgle look like giant slugs with lots of tentacles and the outlook of overexcited puppies.
-Great Unclean Ones are massive, bloated disease carriers. They usally carry a blade known as a Plague Sword into battle. These massive, rusted blades are said to be dipped in the foul pus and contagion at the base of Nurgles throne.
