Flying units powered by Nurgle spray corrosive spores that can turn cities into slime mold swamps within 72 hours. They crippled the Tau drop pods during the Black Pus Galaxy campaign.
"The Embrace of Ulceration" Virus Bomb:
The warhead contains the sevenfold corruption plague of the Nurgle Garden. When detonated, surface creatures undergo a horrific transformation from "flesh blooming" to "skeletal liquefaction," ultimately becoming incubation pools for Nurgle demons.
The various victories and glories achieved by this war gang
The collapse of the pustular star band:
The Warband, using a traitorous planetary governor, tuned the defensive force field to a "corruption frequency," causing the Imperial garrison throughout the star belt to rot internally. After this battle, the star belt was transformed into Nurgle's Gospel Station, continuing to spread the plague to neighboring star systems.
In order to seize the Mechanicus's "Forge of Immortality," the Corrupted Embrace allied with the remnants of the Iron Warriors, using rust magic to paralyze the Guardians of the Cult, and ultimately transformed the Forge into the Plague Forge, mass-producing corrupted versions of the Knight Armor.
Organizational structure and symbolism
War Clan Emblem: An infinity symbol made of green pus, with a rotting Imperial Eagle embedded in the center, symbolizing a mockery of loyalty.
Garrosh the Plague Father: Chapter Master and Nurgle-born, wielding a rotten scepter that can unleash the "Breath of the Father".
The Corrupted Prophets: Nurgle wizards transformed from former apothecaries, specializing in "flesh alchemy," capable of turning captives into Chaos Eggs.
Pustule Champion: An elite plague warrior, inhabited by Nurgle, who shouts "Father's mercy!" as he commands the demonic engine to charge.
The Embrace of Decay lurks at the edge of the Rotten Nebula, corrupting nine Imperial worlds and transforming four of them into plague paradises.
Now they have their sights set on a new imperial world.
Taking advantage of the appearance of the Great Rift, they planned to conquer a new imperial world and bring it into the embrace of their benevolent father.
It can only be said that Zhou Qing and Nurgle are truly destined to clash. Ever since Nurgle fought Zhou Qing in the warp, almost every Chaos Demon that Zhou Qing encounters is related to Nurgle.
As a Space Marine warband, and a rather powerful one at that.
These Space Marines were also quite powerful, possessing a formidable naval fleet.
The Plague Barge, a mothership plagued by disease.
Ship class: Modified from the Imperial battleship Nemesis-class, its hull has been corrupted by Nurgle magic into a living biological warship, its surface covered with pustules and fungal carpets, and its interior compartments filled with plague incubation chambers.
"Breath of the Father" Virus Projector: Launches torpedoes loaded with the sevenfold plague of Nurgle, causing a flesh-and-blood mutation to erupt inside the ship upon impact.
Living Light Spear Array: Bio-light spears powered by a demon engine that spray corrosive pus when fired.
Tactical role: Fleet flagship and plague production center, capable of releasing spore clouds to obscure the battlefield and cover the advance of other ships.
The Abomination-class large cruiser "Scabblade"
Features: The broadside macro guns have been replaced with "Rust Spore Guns," whose shells contain mechanical corrosion viruses that can disable enemy ship engines.
History: Originally an Imperial Corinos-class cruiser, it was captured and corrupted by the Embrace of Corruption during the "Rust Expedition."
Two Murderer-class cruisers ("Pustules" and "Festering Throat")
Upgrade: The bow lance is replaced with a "Nurgle Spear", which can release swarms of Nurgles to board the ship and infect enemy crew members.
One Destroyer-class cruiser ("The Withering Wing")
Function: Equipped with a fleet of Blight Spore Swarms, specializing in atmospheric plague bombing.
8 No-Faith-class raiders
Tactics: Launch high-speed raids on lone Imperial ships, fire boarding torpedoes (containing Plague Warriors), disable the enemy ships, and then have the capital ships finish them off.
Corrupted Scimitar-class frigates x3
Source: A copy of the Imperial Scimitar-class, with torpedo tubes filled with corrosive flesh-and-blood warheads that cause biological mutations in the target ship upon impact.
Plague supply ship "Pus Pool"
Function: Mobile Plague Factory, which recycles battlefield debris and corpses, converting them into Chaos Eggs or Demon Engine materials.
Subspace Rift Generator "Fallen Stargate"
Purpose: Temporarily tear open warp rifts to summon Nurgle demons (such as the Great Unclean One) to directly intervene in naval battles.
It was precisely because they had such a powerful naval fleet that they were able to conquer several imperial worlds in succession.
Frankly speaking, even the Indomitable Expedition's squadrons would have a major headache when encountering this Nurgle fleet, and would have no choice but to use loyalist boarding.
Instead of using their superior numbers of Space Marines—which outnumbered or even outnumbered the enemy's—they jumped in and attacked directly.
The Empire's expeditionary fleet might not be a match for them.
Now they have set their sights on the colonies surrounding Zhou Qing.
Although they haven't yet set their sights on Zhou Qing's colonies, it's undeniable that they're practically next door, forcing Zhou Qing to be on guard.
Subspace travel has a very impressive characteristic: uncertainty.
They can appear directly inside Zhou Qing's colony via subspace routes.
Although Zhou Qing's naval fleet could arrive in time to provide support, the enemy's actions did cause him some distress.
To avoid being caught off guard, Zhou Qing decided to launch a naval battle.
Are we supposed to wait for them to come to our door before we retaliate? That's impossible; that's not in Zhou Qing's character.
An order was issued from Zhou Qing's hand, and the patrol fleet that had been sent out on patrol changed course and began to head towards the location where the Nurgle fleet had appeared.
Strike first and you'll be strong; strike later and you'll suffer the consequences. Let's kill these vile bastards first!
Chapter 111 The Chaos War Clan's Overwhelming Strike Against Mortals
Because of the several star systems in between, it would take the Human Alliance fleet at least one standard Terra time to reach the destination.
This one hour gave Nurgle's army the opportunity to attack the Empire world.
Because the chaotic energy of the Eye of Terror has invaded the dark side of the Empire, the Dark Side Empire simply does not have enough power to resist them, as they lack sufficient fleets.
Moreover, this is just one Empire world that has encountered such a large-scale warband attack from Nurgle.
The governor of the Imperial world only discovered the arrival of the Nurgle fleet when the Rot Embrace fleet reached the orbit of the Drera Imperial Industrial World.
The next second, the relatively dutiful Imperial governors immediately began to announce to the world that the threat from Chaos was about to arrive and immediately summoned the planetary generals to prepare for defense.
The Drera Empire Industrial World is an industrial world belonging to the Kelchite family, and it can be said to be the industrial core of this nearby star sector.
This place can produce a large amount of industrial equipment and weaponry for the empire. Although this planet cannot build naval warships, it has everything else you could possibly need.
They could build the Leman Russtank, and even cobble together a part of the Poison Blade tank.
That is why, after discovering the threat of chaos, the planet's governor did not immediately plan to flee with his people; instead, the future planetary general prepared to resist.
On the one hand, their own planet can produce a large number of weapons and equipment, so it's better to fight Chaos here than to escape.
On the other hand, the Empire is now affected by unknown reasons. The unfolding of the Great Rift has made it impossible for these planetary governors to contact the Empire's Star Court.
The world's only Voidship, after traversing the warp, also discovered, to its dismay, that it had lost the illumination of the Star Torch.
They didn't know if the human empire still existed, nor whether they could escape to other worlds within the human empire.
So rather than using those void ships to escape with your family and then be destroyed in the vast galaxy.
It would be better to fight to the death with Chaos on this family's planet, which would also be considered as fulfilling one's loyalty to the God Emperor.
In this way, at least when I return to the Golden Throne, I will have the face to meet the Emperor.
Instead of having to bow their heads and confess their sins to the emperor.
In this sinful and dark galaxy, there are indeed many people who have always thought about how to survive.
However, the human race has been passed down and continued to this day, and even the crumbling human empire, which is so corrupt, has been able to survive.
What does it rely on?
It relies on the fact that a large number of people are willing to give their lives for this empire. They are willing to disregard their own lives for humanity and for survival, and sacrifice is their highest creed.
In this sinful galaxy, some will eke out a living, only wanting to preserve their own lives, but many others will rise to the challenge!
They will carve out a pure land for humanity behind them, even if the final outcome is death, they will do their utmost to persevere until death.
The planetary general arrived much faster than usual.
Just 10 minutes later, the Planet General arrived at the Planet Governor's palace.
Just five minutes later, the two reached an agreement.
Five minutes later, an order issued by the planetary general and the planetary governor was relayed throughout the entire Empire.
"Prepare for war! For the God Emperor!"
"Humanity will never yield to evil gods!"
The planetary governor and the Imperial Ministry of the world demonstrated with remarkable efficiency the terrifying potential of the human race in the face of crisis.
But this is just what the planetary governor and planetary general are preparing to do.
As mentioned before, the human empire is utterly corrupt.
The people at the bottom had no way to survive, so when Nurgle's fleet arrived, a large number of chaotic mutations began to appear in the lower classes.
The order to mobilize for war had barely begun when the bottom nest had already fallen completely.
A large number of Nurgle believers appeared, and a large number of blasphemous rituals began to run rampant in the bottom nest.
Nurgle's demons began to emerge from the chaotic warships onto the ground.
Garros, the chapter leader of the Rot Embrace, did not hesitate to launch an orbital drop on the planet when chaos broke out at the bottom of the hive.
Meanwhile, the warships began attacking the human settlements.
"Decay is the truth of life, and plague is a gift from the loving father."
Space Marines have arrived, but they are not the Emperor's angels; they are the minions of an evil god!
As the Chaos Warbands chanted their warband creed, they unleashed a bloody massacre on the local Imperial forces after bursting out of the drop pod.
These demigods, who once protected humanity, displayed an almost overwhelming attitude when facing ordinary humans.
The streets of the bottom nest were filled with a putrid fog.
The first batch of drop pods crashed through the dome of the hive city and into the slum square. The hatches blew open, and green pus gushed out, corroding the concrete and steel.
"For my loving father!"
Six hundred Chaos Warriors of the Embrace of Decay charged out.
