I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
You kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.
I crave the electrolytes of brawndo-fed plants.
But Papa Nurgle still loves you
Papa Nurgle can go back to eating his own shit, I would rather join Khorne.
Even Slaanesh looks like a better choice tbh
If you are born as a daemon? Yes. If you gotta go through the process of becoming a worshipper? No. I go with the God of blood, war, honor, and honesty all the way.
I agree! Less mutation, more bloodshed! Sure my mind will slowly decay into nothing but craving violence, blood, and skulls, but it’s a far better choice than the other 3 choices
notice how nobody mentioned tzeentch because he is objectively the worst choice
That entirely depends on how Tzeentch is feeling tbh. I don’t know much about how Slaneesh treats their followers, but I know that Tzeentch at least can either plague you forever with visions, horribly mutate you, or give you ABSOLUTE POWER if he feels like it.
so he is the greatest of slot machines. the greatest of dice roll. what mood is Tzeentch in today?
do you get glory? fame wealth power? or do you spin the wheel of misery?
True, I love Tzeentch but I would never want to be his follower.
Just as planned.
Nurgle is the best choice.
Khorne or Slaneesh is guaranteed insanity and torment. Tzeentch is a coin flip - your a super wizard, until you suddenly explode into a chaos spawn for no apparent reason.
Superficially Nurgle looks the worst - you stink like shit. But it's the only one where followers retain a semblance of their sanity and original personality. And though your body decays, you feel no pain, only love.
Insanity definitely in terms of Khorne, but torment really only applies if you’re an Eightbound or something. Other than that, it’s satisfaction of the kill and the desire for violence.
Slaneesh definitely deals in a lot more torment and a lot more insanity which is never good.
You’re 100% about Tzeench.
I would argue that having to deal with becoming a flesh-hive or a horribly mutated thing with mouths where there weren’t before and tentacles where you had a reliable trigger-finger a bigger problem than Khorne. Sure you can’t feel pain, but I doubt it’s a walk in the park
Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, so you'll be slaughtered by your compatriots, hence the torment. And I think the insanity and bottomless anger is a form of torment.
The followers of Khorne do get mutated, just in a more aesthetically acceptable way, and can become chaos spawn, just probably less frequently than the other gods.
The blessed of Nurgle are quite content with their additional tentacles and orifices.
I feel like all are content with what becomes of them. Unless Slaneesh wants them to feel everything, or Tzeentch. Both Khorne and Nurgle treat their underlings with respect.
Khorne does it if you are great at adding skulls to the Throne and causing blood to flow often
Nurgle is a lot more caring, that’s true, but the idea of becoming what I’ve seen of Death Guard or Poxwalkers, I’ll pass
I personally plan on getting started on a Death Guard army because they look absolutely fantastic! But I’d rather be under Khorne
Oh yeah, peeling off skin on your dick while getting butt fucked by a noise marine is so much better than just murdering imperials all day.
Hey! Dont kink shame...
Buddy, don't get me wrong I love getting hit in the balls but slaanesh is too much even for a seasoned degenerate like me
Tyranids!

Nurgle ass post
The grandfather loves all
Who the fuck is nurgle
A God of disease and rot from Warhammer, who considers his plagues to be works of art and gifts to the living.
He (allegedly) has paternal feelings to anyone who accepts infection. He is a God of Corrupted life, so he loves in a messed up way.
(Warhammer 40k is set in a world where the collective unconconcious is real, but traumatised beyond healing. All remains God are Corrupted versions of better concepts.)
Assuming homie meant 40k, but may be worth noting that Nurgle and the other chaos gods didn’t originate in Warhammer 40k. They’re from Warhammer Fantasy, which predates 40k by a few years.
and Nergal is from Mesopotamia, which predates both by a few millennia.
Mfers were painting chaos Marines circa 3000 BCE frfr
Uhm acthually 🤓 Nergal was just an aspect of Nurgle. The Chaos Gods existed long before the humans invented civilization on Terra
ach I have blasphemed against Papa Nurgle, please don't cure all my diseases as punishment!
Nope. They originate from Realms of Chaos, which was created for both Warhammer Fantasy and 40k.
So do fantasy and 40k coexist in the same galaxy ?
My understanding as a casual fan is that Warhammer 40k was originally intended as the future of Warhammer Fantasy but then they started writing lore and made them separate "what if" lines.
Hence they share a good bit of lore, like some races and gods, but they don't share an actual setting
At the time they did. They've since made them two different universes.
Yes and no, officially no. However there are a fair few crossovers and characters that exist in both settings and sometimes reference the other, like Belakor, mostly it's just the deamons and chaos gods that exist in both settings but there is at least one quasi-mortal, Count Mordrac.
I didn’t know GW released a new Warhammer spinoff set in DAoT!
I'd lose my shit ngl
ngl (nurgle)
Why did you say this? Now I want this and will never have it because there were no Space Marines then.
Thank u for explaining instead of just saying 'Warhammer'
Warhammer
I'd never heard of the warp as the traumatised collective unconscious but that's a fun way to look at it
Ok this all sounds really cool, but I can’t find a good way to start this (whatever it is) online so I’ll just ask
How does one start warhammer 40k? Is it like a book series like what’s going on
It's a Table-top Warsim game where you paint your models, and it's where space marines come from. It's Grim-dark Space Fantasy, with various flawed races locked in endless combat while horrific space bugs loom from outside.
It has various books to tie in and expand the world, and video-game spin-offs
I got into it by watching If the Emperor Had Text To Speech, a humour fan work that got halted after the CRACKDOWN on fan vids. It finished at the end of a season, so it has a proper ending. Just a downer one.
You might try one of their strategy games, like Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus or maybe one of their many amusing books.Or try some of the wonderful fanworks available online.
I also used to play in their other universe, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, which is more high fantasy. I play in the race Scavven, plague ratmen who worship Nurgle!
Thanks for the info
I’ll look into it from the points you’ve given me
Warhammer 40k, they are the chaos god of decay and plague.
Joe Rogan, but unironically
Hear me out and look at his career:
Came to prominence as a prophet for a cult dedicated to the spread of the disease Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
Released a comedy special called I'm going to be dead someday (an obvious attempt to normalize acceptance of decay).
Hosted an international reality show where he encouraged people to consume the most sickening substances he could imagine.
Currently hosts a podcast where he extols the virtues of eating horse paste and sharing deadly viruses with as many people as possible while demonstrating carcinogenic acceleration with a personal smogging device (still not sure why he's obsessed with Jokaeros though).
I'm sorry, I can't figure out what the first one is a reference other than I think it has something to do with hitting someone in the head
He worked for the UFC as a microphone monger.

The Sistas know that all matter gets a chance to become something new if you apply sufficiently intense flames.
Only the stagnant will decay. Move, like flowing water, and you shall be ever pure.
Perhaps in your movement, what you leave behind may decay. But the core shall always remain intact with such fluidity. Become a flowing river and you may change, but you shall always remain.
I think you took it a bit too literally
But yeah yeowch. Climate change is a bitch and it's (majorly) our fault. The planet will maybe march on if we don't fix it, but we won't, so uh yeah let's fix it
Kid named Hydroelectric Dam
I'm pretty frickin sure hydro dams don't completely stop the river's flow.
Citation: Ya need MOVING water to spin turbines. Water won't push back into itself. Gotta have an in and out. They just raise the water level for higher pressure.
fuck uhhhh
kid named plugging the source of a river
This won't work either. This doesn't make the water magically dissapear, it will simply find another place to go out from.
If you were to put a straight up wall going across a river, would the river stop? No. The water would either build and eventually overflow, creating a cascade (or a flood, depending on how low the surrounding terrain is), or it would literally carve through the earth around the wall to keep going. Water adapts.
Eroding the barrier or just goin the hell around it.
There's a reason "like a flowing river" keeps coming up in historical texts: People keep analyzing it and find it fitting
nice try Tzeench
audible confusion in knowing basically nothing about WH40K
Ironically, that might actually put you more under suspicion of being a follower of Tzeentch.
Who's this Tzeench guy?! I know he's probably one of the gods, I recognize the names of the gods in 40k (Nurgle is Mr. Decay, uhhh who's the horny one...) but I don't actually know jack about their domains or whatever
Why's not knowing make it more suspicious???
Because Tzeentch is the Lord of Change, the Great Deceiver, The Lord of Entropy and the Master of Sorcery. Trickery and Lies fall into his domain, and he is very fond of sudden twists in mind and body. You might be lying about not knowing or you knew once, either way you might be touched by Tzeentch.
Btw, Papa Nurgle you correctly identified as Mr. Decay, the horny one (sexually) would be Slaanesh, Lord of Ecstasy, the other horny one(literally, horns everywhere) would be Khorne, the Lord of Bloodshed.
Got it, so he's the god of confusing the fuck out of everyone else, that's funny.
Didn't realize Khorne Flakes was so spikey, must be hard to fit in his throne! Milk for the Khorne Flakes!

Malenia's eating good tonight
I love the smell of scarlet rot in the morning
Yeah but I can easily swap machine parts so rot can go fuck itself
Sure, but how long can you guarantee backwards compatibility to your specs?
My first computer was using a 386DX processor. Nothing you can buy today will run on that hardware. There are still old ISA cards floating around on ebay or hobby forums that you could plug in if you like, but there are no NEW expansion cards being made, no new ram that you can slot in (if you even had removable ram slots at all), no new apps or software coming out...
Go talk to some IT guys on occasion, especially if they work in heavy industry or medical. There are first generation pentiums out there in critical locations as legacy systems because that's the only computer left that will run the software needed to keep a critical bit of equipment running. The cost to keep a 30 year old PC running is crazy.
We like to pretend that being able to replace broken or damaged parts means a machine is immortal, but the truth is that it very much has a limited lifespan and once the supply of new parts ends then the clock starts ticking a lot faster. And lets not even get into file type compatibility, or bit rot, or corruption copying data from one piece of hardware to another.
If you migrate to a machine body, be aware that body probably has a shorter lifespan than your flesh sack did.
You forget one thing, if I can migrate frome the flesh to the machine , the I will as sure as hell be able to migrate to another machine body.
And you've never had problems copying large files from one physical device to another? Sure, usually its fine, but usually isn't always and the bigger the file the bigger the risk.
That's why I stay stupid. Keep the file size small.
The truly "old" systems are not capable of holding a file that would be considered large by modern standards, and even if it takes 11 daisy chained adapters to from SCSI HDD to USB34 nano-datawafer, and 5 layers of emulation to run "me" on the 4096-bit hardware, it'll still feel like an upgrade.
If fucking with old computers has taught me one thing it's that there is always a way (and it's often less of a pain in the ass than getting brand new software/hardware to work in the systems it was engineered for)

Growing up hard working enough to swing a family computer but still too poor to have an up-to-date one was rough in those days. You'd save up for months to get a game with a cool jet on the cover that wasn't just a shareware floppy, and it flat out wouldn't work on your Tandy. Then when you get a pentium II your old shit wouldn't install and new shit wanted pentium 4 or bust.
I feel like people don't give the brains behind PC hardware and software enough credit for making things playable for damn decades these days.
I feel you. I was lucky enough that I got my computer almost free back in the day when a company upgraded their whole office. My dad knew someone in the company and we made a deal, but saving up for a soundblaster card and games was a bitch.
Family go "why soundblaster when mathblaster do trick."

100% flesh requires 50% machine?
The rot consumes, and so the slugcat screams in agony after dying for the 537th time in Underhang.
Fuckin nurgle cultists, can never get rid of 'em
What if you are the rot tho? Does the rot rot?
If the Rot rots, you just have more rot, don't you?
I guess once the rot has consumed everything and there is nothing left for the rot to consume it disappears as well? So yeah I guess eventually, the rot will rot
But will the rot ever consume everything? There’s gotta always be something using/purifying the rot to make more of one of the three (usually flesh)
just make the machine out of aluminum or silver or gold then
When Anton Arcane assumed the throne of rot, he cast the champions of the red and the green into a future where he had already won. For what is time to the endless dead?
Entropy reigns supreme
Thanks for cheering me up, papa Nurgle!
The flesh, the machine, the divine, the rot, all falters before oblivion.
