Kavak posted:Okay serious 40K question, why the hell would anyone worship Nurgle?  e: this is why they say Nurgle's strength and worshiper count fluctuates more than the others'. People turn to him when everything goes to poo poo due to plague/famine, so when everything's cool he's not attracting new worshipers, but when the pseudo black death hits your village/planet it's all aboard the pustulant party wagon.

This entire forum is fodder for nurgle. Why else would there be the pervasive goon animosity for things that sound slaaneshy. Kingdom death is literally the product of an enemy chaos god. We hate it because our god hates it. We love scrunts and misshapen foam carvings. I mean, look at this thread. And its icon. Man. The more I think about it, the truer it seems. Kavak posted:I thought that was Khorne. I guess I don't get praying to him to stop things that he delights in and causes. Chaos Gods aren't cafeterias where you ask for something from their menu. They're unknowable reflections of sentient faults and urges. Khorne is violence. You don't pray to him because you want to be a good warrior. If you are a crazy murderous psychopath, then his nature will begin to infuse you. Endurance is like... That's a DnD stat. Nurgle is what the other guys said. You don't pray to him, you get so desperate you'll do anything--debase yourself and give up on your principles, completely--in the pursuit of vain hope. Because you're afraid of death.

Nurgle is the god of life. It's just you are one person and there are a ton of super AIDs that can fit into your body.

It always disturbs me that bringing up the nature of fantasy gods provokes immediate disagreements just like religions where people think something is at stake. I call for freedom to worship chaos undivided as well as separation of chaos and thread.

When I was 16, Nurgle was the most awesomest because it was gross as heck. Gross was the best. It's exactly the same motivation that leads a boy to put a slug in his sister's sock, or to make jokes about poop. I don't think that necessarily explains why in-universe people would seek out Nurgle but that's because Nurgle seeks out you, because you're a fat disgusting sack of poo poo and you've given up trying to clean yourself up. Your smelly folds of flab repel every other person you encounter every day, but you can still find that safe place in your friendly local game store where people tolerate your stink because hey, they gotta play Warhammer with someone, and you're always there, you have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game, and the fact everyone tolerates you makes the rest of the crowd feel pretty secure about themselves. You're gross but you're amiable and easy-going and you have six different fully-painted armies and from four feet across the table, the reek doesn't really make your eyes water too bad. Nurgle embraces you because nobody else will, and papa nurgle loves us all, including the 90% of the cells in our bodies that aren't human cells. Nurgle's guys are the only guys in all of Warhammer who are universally happy. All of them. They're past the point of worry or even pain. They're loved, and they want you to know that you're loved too, especially by their parasites. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Oct 15, 2015 |

Oh God, this is what I was afraid/knew was going to happen with Nurgle chat. Kavak posted:Okay serious 40K question, why the hell would anyone worship Nurgle? And now you know: nihilism, wanting to feel cool about it, hygiene issues. There's no personal in-universe force that could reverse, rebuke or subvert Nurgle's poo poo because you can always go "we'll just infect in the end/entropy will get it". With Nurgle, you're never wrong or vulnerable. Even if it's eternal rolling in your own poo poo being so rotten you can't even feel pain. That's where your T5 and FNP comes from. In comparison to that, how can 5+/6+ invuln or more attacks or whatever Khorne gives you stack up? Plus, bug chasers exist in the real world, might be some in 40K, too.

To force a metaphor, imagine chaos as something radically right free market stuff. So you're an individual. God-Emperor and Administratum/Obama and gubmint are distant and impersonal, and sometimes they do things that you don't believe are in your best interest. You might even run into a corrupt official - shock of all shocks, massive organizations have people less than dedicated to its cause. You might even think that the government is stifling your potential or siphoning your resources or something. And then you find some forbidden old tome that's wrapped in skin (Atlas Shrugged) or you hear some apostate/heretic/motivational speaker preach, or perhaps experience a Chaos invasion/Donald Trump campaign rally. Holy poo poo, that guy has it right! He knows how you feels! He whispers into your ears promises of tangible power! He's someone big and successful who agrees, that the Corpse-God/Man and weaklings/Mexicans are holding you down! Of course you're down with his poo poo, you're an individual who's worthy of money/power. So they worship and rebel/worship and support legislation. Millions are just insane masses who have no chance, but really believe they can go great. A few do reach places of power/money because they see no trouble in sacrificing others/slashing wages. Those guys go on to write an another skin-bound tome/establish Ayn Rand foundation. In this comparison, free sovereigns are Sons of Malice or something.

That one seems ok to me. Suitably Orky and it would look sweet when painted. The only problem is that it's made from at least three super-expensive kits.

I think if we apply Ostrich Logic, we'll find that this robot's feet are inferior in design to the stomper, standard dreadnought, *and* god's plan. Or are those the dreadknight feet? I forget if those are weird or just coincidentally 3 toed.  Nope. Has a heel. This Robot May Pass.
