Bonewrack
Bonewrack is one of many diseases invented by Ku'Gath, Nurgle's Great Unclean One.
For some time it was thought lost, until 998 M41 during the Red Waaagh!'s invasion of the Sanctus sub-sector in Ultima Segmentum. Inquisitor Malia Orbiana went to the Agri World of Squire's Rest seeking biological weapons with which to hold back the invading Greenskins, prompting the intervention of Justicar Styer and his Grey Knights. Their actions, however, led to the virus and its maker manifesting in realspace and it broke free. In a cruel, ironic twist, the Orks themselves proved to be completely immune to the plague. The Grey Knights were successful in repelling the Great Unclean One back into the Warp, ending the daemonic incursion.
When Bonewrack infects a victim, their bones are warped in all directions, crushing internal organs, twisting the victim's body, causing incredible pain, and eventually leading to asphyxiation and death.[1]
