Hmmm, could we train the cult in groups ourself, while we send out a conversion party, led by old man Mortren, to convert other villages and town? Use the same poisoning method we’ve been using for a while, and if they catch on just convert them by force while they’re still unprepared.

>>2381281

You could, but how would you like to structure the groups and distribute Nurglings and equipment? Any cultists assisting Mortren wouldn't receive any training, not being present to get it.

Rolled 53 (1d100)

>>2381267
> Pimply Preparation, the cult is untrained and undisciplined, you will take several weeks to drill them in combat and strategy.
This first. So after they're fully trained they can train the next group of cultists.

Then after that we can go to a city.

Costume roll again?

>>2381291
Hm, send out 30 of the boys with Mortren. Keep the Zealots here, they might be a liability on a stealth mission, and they’ll be more useful trained anyways. Have him take 20 Nurglings, not like we can train them, and he may get a bonus using them to spread the disease. They can take the armour, we don’t need it for training. They take all the shotguns, since they may need to go door to door and they’re good in close quarters, and equip anyone lacking a shotgun with one of the crummy auto guns, the rest take the factory made ones. Use all the pickup trucks to transport them, if needed, though leave one behind if we’re able, just in case. Train 5 of our troops extensively with the rifles, try to make snipers out of them, the rest get basic auto gun training. Everybody gets basic marching and formation training. The basic PDF menu, more or less. The Nurglings can multiply amongst themselves, or whatever it is they do. Keep a perimeter of cultists at all times, maybe 5 or 6 at the fringes if the town.

>>2381267
> Pimply Preparation, the cult is untrained and undisciplined, you will take several weeks to drill them in combat and strategy.
We should get our troops a bit stronger

>>2381317
After the come back from the first raid, rotate our forces, replace 26 of the guys he’s got with him with the non zealot, trained cultists, and train up the guys who were with the first raid while he takes the trained guys out raiding. Keep up this rotation, maybe over a week? Build up our forces while training them. Ideally we get up to 200 fairly well trained cultists, and an excess of Nurglings, as well as plenty of equipment.

>>2381333
Oh yeah, make sure to give out plenty of inspiring sermons, praising the glory of Papa Nurgle, to keep morale up and maybe make more zealots out of our cultists.

>>2381425
>>2381431
>>2381439

77 for training the cultists.

>>2381425
>>2381431
>>2381434

85 for Mortren's stealth plague.

>>2381433

23 for Loot! Along with the munitions, armors, and obscene amount of rations, you obtained a pair of pickup trucks and a battered trailer-truck! Essentially it's a larger, more robustly built semi-truck with a heavy trailer attached, which is able to serve as a miniature warehouse in its own right. Of course, it drains gas like nobody's business, but with all the grain to melt into bio-fuel, that's no concern. It's also the reason I haven't been keeping track of rations.

>>2381428

Since you didn't mention an action and said you were rolling to create a plague, I'm going to guess you're to spawn a new disease. What kind of plague were you wanting to synthesize?

>>2381475

> *you're trying to

>>2381475
I think by "plagues out of bacteria" he was talking about training the cultists into better, more lethal versions of themselves

>>2381475
Think the common cold, but it causes heavy buildup of random gunky stuff in the eyes and ears, along with being EVEN MORE infectious.

>>2381492
Wait shit the colds a virus....mix in some bacteria for the desired effects....

>>2381482

Ah, that makes much more sense. In that case, the training roll's a 94, not a 77 crit, since you were the forth to roll. Still pretty great.

>>2381492
>>2381513

So you were trying to spawn a plague? In that case, it'd be a 77 for training and you'll be a third of the way toward spawning an amped up version of the common cold. Ex-Medic you may be, but synthesizing new diseases wholesale, especially ones that improve on one of Nurgle's greatest, takes time.

>>2381475
Something that causes people to sweat a lot and can be spread through the air or by contact. Maybe have it do some damage on the liver for good measure.

>>2381521
I was indeed trying to make the common cold even better, hopefully papa nurgle doesn't take offence to our attempt.

>>2381534
Nay, viruses are subject to so many iterations I doubt he would mind.
That's why vaccines change with the times.

>>2381525
>>2381534
>>2381541

Do you want to go for the sweating liver-plague, or the common cold 2.0? The sweating sickness would be much easier to pull-off, but the common cold would incur more favor, if you managed to make it. Keep in mind, these might be easier to cure than "natural" plagues, and there's a severe degree of unpredictability regarding the final product.

>>2381566
not the other anon, but common cold 2.0.

>>2381590
Overspecialization can be crippling when dealing with self-replication.
You'll probably end up with something too virulent (kills easier) and harder to spread or less virulent but with a bigger spread, since the vectors won't be dying so easily.

I feel diseases are better being opportunistic, a weaker one paving the way to a stronger one.

Wait, I just want to be clear. What are the rolls? 85 for Mortren I know, and 23 for looting, but is the training the crit or the 94? What’s this about a new sickness?

>>2381618
Training is getting the 77, and I was wondering if we could create some kind of plague from an existing thing, but I forgot to ask the QM but apparently it's ok.

It is the dawn, the beginning of a new day, and as the cultists gather for worship, you gaze upon them, those blessed few, and realize they are the beginnings of a new faith. If they are to see the Imperium of Man brought low, they must grow in strength and number, they must be well-versed in the arts of shedding blood, marching, and proselytizing, and if you are to lead them, you must teach them. The work of Mankind will be undone, and a deserving merciful death will be dealt to the suffering galaxy.

You take Mortren Deldas, your lieutenant, you suppose, and tell him what you have in mind. Thirty devout cultists, armed with each of the thirteen shotguns, nine factorymade, and six handmade autoguns, equipped with the tattered flak armor and four of the cult's five pickup trucks, accompanied by twenty Nurglings will follow him as he spreads the light of Nurgle to those villagers trapped in the Emperor's darkness. You task him with killing all who do not convert, because discovery at this stage would spell your doom.

Immediately, his proto-horde sets off and you set to your work, training the remaining thirty-two cultists to some measure of competency. A less difficult duty than you'd expected, because rural as they are, at least they know the difference between the ass-and-business ends of a rifle. It almost reminds you of your own homeworld and time with the Imperial Guard, and you can't help but reminisce.

> What type of planet did Waltram come from, and in which Segmentum was it located?
> What was Waltram's motivation for joining the Imperial Guard, and which threat did his regiment fight the most?
> What was Waltram's personality like before he fell into Nurgle's slimy hands, and how has his faith changed him?

Sigh, but those days are passed, and this day has only begun. While days of drilling the cult into a somewhat passable militia pass, you find yourself slipping into the role of drill sergeant you hated so much back in the day, and find your training capacity increase accordingly. The cultists throw themselves into it with an enthusiasm your old sergeant would've killed for, and make astronomical progress. You know the old man would've been proud, if he didn't notice the open, frothing heresy, that is.

> (1/2)

>>2382111

By the end of the first week, they have the basics of marching and marksmanship down pat, and would've kicked their past selve's asses handily. By the end of the second week, they've reached militia standard and maybe, just maybe, won't turn to holey cheese at the first sight of PDF, Nurgle knows their infected pores are already hole enough. The five cultists you took in for a separate curriculum to train as riflemen and snipers have done incredibly well, and can now pop heads with the best of them. The best conscripts that is, but still, the best. Not to mention the Nurglings, of which, another twenty-two spawn from the accumulated waste and filth.

> Waltram Reichart gains +5 Training Skill!
> 21 Devout Nurglite Cultists and 6 Zealous Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia!
> 5 Devout Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia Snipers!
> 22 new Nurglings have spawned!

By day you train them to destroy, and by night, you create yourself. Inspired by dreams of Nurgle's Cauldron, you set to splicing and tinkering, forming your own makeshift lab out of a decrepit kitchen. A strain of the common cold, rendered much more infectious by an increased intensity of mucus is what you have in mind, and after an unexpected windfall, you're nearly a third of the way to bringing it into being. When it's done, it will do little to kill, but it will spread far and wide, and fast to boot. Nurgle forbid you hope, but you wish it will please your Papa once it's finished.

You've in the middle of the third week when Mortren arrives, with ten pickup trucks, half a dozen of them brand-new, and at least double his force's previous numbers in tow. You rush to meet him and after you've finished marveling at his new back tentacle mutation, Deldas tells you his tale. They've overwhelmed four villages, three by sneakily sowing sickness, and one by gunning down everyone who stood, and forcibly converting those who didn't. He explains he's brought sixty-eight to see the way, and that the Nurglings have spawned almost fifty more of themselves from the pestilent rot he's caused. In addition to the conversions, he's looted nineteen shotguns, twenty-five bolt-actions, and two contraband autoguns, and inspired all but one of his original thirty cultists to embrace zealotry. And he did all of this with only three casualties. You are floored.

A night of celebration! Constant work and worry is for the lesser of the chaos fathers. The grandfather however, knows the worth of fun.

A delightfully disgusting orgy or filth and grime, it'll boost morale and who knows what cataclysmic cancers our mixed fluids could produce?

Also, we should screen for the most chemically and spiritually abled of the lot and select a few apprentices and lab assistants to help us improve our cold recipe.
Start teaching them about the many forms of sickness, as well as introducing them to the finer points of the nurglite credo.

>>2382182

I'll back this but hold on, are Nurglite women even capable of conceiving and giving birth? I mean, I think they'd have to be, given the constant flow of Nurglites out of the Eye of Terror and influx of Nurglites into the Death Guard, but how does it even happen? Is the resulting infant simply infected in the womb, and becomes a Nurglite by default? How do Nurgle's gifts influence a prepubescent child's development, and what does a Nurglite's puberty look like? Besides that, what does a rank-and-file Chaos worshiper's home life look like?

>Waltram came from a agriworld, in Segementum Obscurus
>He joined the guard to after returning to his farm to find his family torn apart by dark eldar raiders, He mainly fought dark eldar.
>Before his family's deaths, he was a very jovial man, who was known for his charity and kindness. After the tragedy, he changed completely, no longer smiling or making small talk, and he would often fling himself into combat suicidally. However, under the brooding exterior, was a man deeply longing for the life he once had, and the family he once had. After the majority of his regiment was slaughtered in dark eldar ambush, he deserted, and as he wandered the plains for days, starving and dehydrated, he was struck by a vision from Nurgle, a vision of his family, rotting and decayed, and the new family he could have, similarly rotting. After Waltram came out of the daze, he found himself a half mile off from a small city, and with a newfound purpose, he set off to spread Plague and brotherly love.

>>2382273
And since he has found the love of Papa Nurgle, he has regained his smile and his jovial demeanor. This is great.

>>2382182
I’ll support this. Out of curiosity Black, do we know how many PDF troops there are in that fort they’ve got?

>>2382303
Speaking of, surely they're more than aware that something ominous is going on now. Multiple settlements going dark, followed by a large warehouse, is sure to be raising a lot of concern.

I want to see if we can use our disgusting medical knowledge to lessen the amount of pain our gauntlet gives us when used.
or at least please Papa Nurgle enough for him to lessen it.

>>2382273
We already had a little backstory in the last thread about when nurgle spoke to us

>>2382320
We should not pray for a lighter load, but for broader shoulders! If Nurgle gave us this pain, it is because it's good for us. In time, we will learn to conquer it, and will come out even more virulent!

>>2382303
Id guess at least 50-60

>>2382303
>>2382319
We should send a few scouts, maybe one of our snipers, to spy on them. Keep some distances, but try to keep ourselves up to date.

>>2382273

I like this backstory, but I bet Reichart would have a bone to pick with any Slaaneshi we come across.

>>2382303

There's a whole lot of towns and villages around here, right? If they're covering a large, densely populated region with a dozen or so storehouses, I'd wager there's two, maybe three hundred PDF.

>>2382319

Not necessarily, I mean, we've killed or converted everyone we've exposed ourselves to, and I doubt there's much, if any contact between settlements outside of visiting warehouses or traveling to large cities. We might have one, maybe two more months before they figure out, and even then, it might be awhile before they bring the hammer.

>>2382319
This is likely, yeah. In the short term, after we celebrate, I’m thinking we can maybe pull the same tactic we just did one more time before the PDF go into high alert. So we do that, bolster our forces and train our troops as much as possible. Then we take the fight to the PDF fort. They’ll still have the edge in terms of troop quality and equipment, but we’ll probably have closed the gap in training a bit, and the number of cultists and Nurglings we have will probably make up the rest of the difference, along with a bit of cunning. After that we should be able to expand a lot faster, since we’ll be able to attack settlements that were under the jurisdiction of the PDF fort with impunity.

>>2382389
This is also possible. I think we should, as mentioned by others above, send someone to observe the fort. There’s a bit of risk involved, but we’ll be able to tell if the PDF have noticed our antics and allow us to determine what actions we should take from there. If they haven’t then we should continue converting and training a lot more, and hopefully build up our forces a lot, ideally several hundred cultists, a few hundred of whom are trained. If they have noticed, then we should recruit and train one more time, and then strike at the fort, before they can send out word of the situation here.

>>2382389
Oh yeah, that’s one thing we should probably watch for. There’s probably at least a chance of there being servants of the other Chaos Gods operating on the planet. While Khorne’s a bit straightforward to pull that infiltration business, we should probably watch for a Tzeentchian or Slaaneshi cult. I doubt they’d take kindly to us destroying their carefully laid web of deceit by attempting to completely take over the planet.

>>2382389
We just burned through three entire weeks in the last post, that's a lot of time for someone to figure something out. Especially considering we hit the warehouse, which is undoubtedly a hub for the area.

>>2382303

At the moment, you don't know but your cultists say there's a decent-sized town's worth, and going by this planet's standards, that's anywhere from one to two-hundred.

> Quick question Black. What would we have to do to be blessed with a few PlagueBearers or some PoxWalkers?

Obtaining Plaguebearers is straightforward enough, all you have to is spread a truly obscene amount of disease and decay. If you'd went for Mass Pestilence at the old storehouse, you'd have gotten 1-3 Plaguebearers and a metric shit-ton of Nurglings. Poxwalkers are much harder to get, given that you'd have to obtain the sickness, which is essentially an amped up zombie plague. Plague Zombies are much easier, and could be spawned with a bit of luck and sufficient favor and/or research.

100 for scouting.

That's a 91, 101, 80, and 100, and the first I've ever seen someone crit back to back. That's patently absurd, keep rolling like that and I'll have to change the rolls system to keep any semblance of difficulty!

You remember them and their ships, slender and graceful, sharp as glass and black as night. You had a wife once, children once, a family. You loved them, and they loved you right back. They were your everything, and they took them. Now there's nothing left but bleached bones in an empty plot of dirt outside a backward village in a backward farm-world in the back-end of the galaxy. They're gone now, and not one of the long years, oceans of blood, and rivers of tears you spent fighting for a False God will ever bring them back.

Eldar, you spit the word. Hedonistic bastards, disgustingly aloof, hideously clean. They smirked, when their shrunken ripped men apart, when their scourges rent the flesh from men's bones, and when their swords pierced the very souls of men in a pain that cannot be described, they smirked. Clean, proud, perfect, smirks. You wiped a smirk off of one's face once, got lucky with a las gun and blew a hole in his chest the size of your fist.

The look of shocked fear in his eyes was like none other, and while he didn't make a sound in the second he died, you hope to the Rotfather above, that he squealed, kicking and screaming when he was dragged down to suffer the same hell he forced on others. On your family. They're gone now, but so is he, and you hope whatever loved him felt the same pain you did, tenfold, magnified.

There's no bringing your family back, but now that Nurgle's blessed you with his endless love, you can make a new family. You can love them, and they, you. You look around yourself, one-hundred and twenty-seven souls, all part of your family, all children of Nurgle. You've been given the miracle of kinship, and that goes far beyond any phony strength, knowledge, or pleasure in the cosmos. It's time you celebrated that.

Your booming phlegmy voice carries above the chatter, and in response, it goes silent. "Children of Nurgle, Devotees of the Putrid Harvest! Hear me when I speak, we have been brought together for the sake of family, and as a family, we must bond!"

You gesture toward a nearby cultist, who hands you a bucket. "This pail I hold in my hands is a symbol of our heart! It is empty, watch as I fill it!" Taking a moment, you hack up a loogie and spit it into the bucket. It's a respectable loogie, but it's not a fraction of the size it would take to fill its entirety.

"My spit has done nothing to fill this bucket! But watch, as another lends his aid!" You pass the bucket to a nearby cultist, who looks at you for approval. When you nod, he spits as well, and almost sheepishly passes it back to you. "Behold, he has done what I could not! With his spit, he has brought us closer to a full bucket! As this bucket represents our love, only the love we have for each other can fill it!" You pass the vessel to another, who takes it in her hand.

> (1/4)

>>2383086
>> (1/4)
DAMN SON

>>2383086

"Spit into the bucket! Fill our heart, give us your love!" When she has spit and moves to return the bucket you wave it away and motion she passes it to another. "We are family! Each of you, take this bucket, give it your love, and hand it to another, that they might do the same!"

She passes it to another, who spits and hands to another, who hands it to another, and so on. Soon, each of the one-hundred and twenty-seven souls present, Nurglings included, has spit into the bucket. It's been passed around, and now it's in your hands once again. This time, it's full and the size of your grin would rival a cow's carcass.

"By our efforts combined, the bucket is filled! In this way, our hearts are filled with each other's love, when our own alone is not enough! Raise the bucket to your lips, take a draught, and partake of the love we have for one another!"

Carefully, you raise the rusted pail to your rotting, rubbery lips, and gingerly, you slide your tongue into the bloody, watery mucous and sip, taking in a drop for yourself. You pass it to another, and they do the same, and they pass it to another, who in turn, repeats the process. This continues for almost an hour, until the bucket is back in your hands, and is entirely empty.

"The bucket is now empty, but our hearts remain filled! This is the miracle of Grandfather Nurgle, this the true meaning of family! Let us rejoice, for our death is soon to come, and Nurgle is soon to hold us in His arms!"

The rest of the day passes in a blur as you dance, sing, and shout the praises to Nurgle, and for a moment in time, you become one with one another. You become a family, and that's all that truly matters.

When morning comes, you find many more throw themselves into their tasks with zeal, and are filled with mirth to know you've inspired love.

> 23 Devout Nurglite Cultists become Zealous!
> 4 Devout Nurglite Militia become Zealous!

You grab Mortren, tell him you want a repeat of the last two weeks, and desire to see the family grow tenfold. He nods and gives a smile, with missing teeth and a rotting tongue, he is the incarnation of Nurgle's happiness. "Y'know preacher-man, tha's a good sermon you gave yes'erday. One day, Imma wanna give sermons like tha', e'ery day, make Papa Nurgle proud y'know?"

You nod, returning his smile, "That I do, friend. I wish you the best of luck, Nurgle's eyes be on you." "An' on you too Wat'ram, you too." He leaves, taking each of the twenty-seven Nurglite militia, forty Nurglings, and four pickup trucks besides. You hope he does well to spread the love you've shown.

> (2/4)

>>2383086
>>2383094

You yourself have your own duties to attend to. You take each of the five militia snipers, and bestow upon them a difficult task, to scout the PDF and return in one piece. They accept with great relish, take their scoped rifles and a pickup truck, and are gone without a trace in a minute's time. Observing the cult going about their day, you notice the trailer truck, and watching its indolent frame, you decide to put an end to its idle rest.

When you tell them what you have in mind, the pair of hobbyist mechanics amongst your ranks are humbled, but agree to do their task as best as they are able. The rest of the cult, you gather and begin to train as you have the past two weeks. When you get into the groove, days pass like hours, and hours like seconds, and before you know it, two more weeks have passed.

The town's ruins are booming.

The trailer truck's modifications are the best possible with the given materials and you can find no fault. A foot of scrap metal over the front, back, and sides, an easy dozen gun ports, and space for a future heavy weapons emplacement, perhaps a catapult to launch Nurglings. But what you find the best, is the large cattle ram they've bolted on to the front, and the smattering of filth encrusted, razor-sharp spikes jutting out at every angle imaginable. It is beautiful, and you tell them so.

> 2 Devout Nurglite Cultists have become Devout Nurglite Mechanics!
> 1 Trailer Truck has been converted into a makeshift Nurglite War-Rig!

The militia's training has gone exceedingly well, perhaps not as fine as last, but you're teaching near twice as many, and so you can't complain. They might not be elite, but they're certainly straight-shooting, straight marching, and hell-bent on seeing Nurgle's truth given to all peoples. The Nurglings have done well for themselves and from the muck and mud, dozens more have crawled.

> 52 Devout Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia!
> 26 Zealous Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia!
> 48 Nurglings have spawned!

You don't have to wait long before Mortren's forces rearrive, in the end of the second week. This time, a dozen trucks are being driven, eight of them new, and every inch of them is jam-packed with nigh on a hundred thirty cultists, only twenty-seven of which were devoted to begin with. The old man himself is giddy to see you, and you note the black tint to his previously-yellow eyes before he begins to speak. Apparently it was simple, "chil's play," he called it, and no less than one-hundred and three new believers from seven separate villages have bent their knee to Plague Lord, bringing with them thirty-six shotguns, twenty-one bolt-action rifles, and seven handmade autoguns, along with a man who knows how to make more, if somewhat slowly and poorly. The Nurglings of course, have thrived, nearly doubling in number.

While you embrace each new believer, the scouts come back, with a convert concert and rock-solid Intel. The newbie explains he was sneaking out of the base into the fields at night to take a shit because he's scared of communal bathrooms when he stumbled upon your scouts, who beat him unconscious and tortured him with sickness until he gave his soul to Nurgle, and that he's never felt better. He also tells you the following,

> There are exactly one-hundred and twenty PDF on site, each one armed with autoguns and flak armor. They have been hearing rumors of villages disappearing but haven't seen any actual refugees, so the man in charge doesn't want to bother the higher-ups. The base itself has a modest shrine to the False Emperor, twelve armored jeeps, and a single vox-caster capable of reaching the nearest large base, in the event of an emergency. Besides its inhabitants, its only defences are two razor-wire fences, a series of trenches, and a watch tower with a spotlight attached.
> 1 Devout Nurglite Veteran Militia gained, along with equipment!

This information is incredibly pertinent, and you feel you'll need to neutralize the PDF quickly if you're going to remain undetected. You're confident in the men and women serving your forces, but the vox-caster, that could be a problem...

>>2383100
I fucking gagged

>>2383104
Oh. Well. To be honest, those odds are WAY better then I expected. I was think we'd be fighting at least 200 trained PDF troops. We've got them WAY outnumbered then. I say we attack now, while they're still relatively unawares. The Vox-caster could be tough though. Hm....

>>2383104
Is the vox a portable vox, or does it have a fixed antenna? Because if it's fixed we could throw some warp fire on it to shut it down.

>>2383104
We need to dig under the fort like a blessed ringworm digs through flesh. When we boil up from underneath like holy pus, we can swarm over the PDF militia like maggots over a corpse!

>>2383114
I love when other QM's write suggestions.

>>2383114
We don't really have the equipment for a tunnel of sufficient length.
What about making the nurgling catapult, then we can launch nurglings over their wall, have them destroy the vox and sow chaos in the base, then we smash in on the war-rig.

>>2383111
I'd assume it's a fixed vox, it's not like they're expecting any battles out in the boonies of some ass-backwards Agri-world.
>>2383114
Tunneling might be a good way to go about it, actually. Do we have the necessary equipment though? Digging with our hands would take ages.

>>2383104
I've got it! We can send our newest recruit back! He's recently turned, so the bluff checks shouldn't be to bad, we can have him do away with the vox (Maybe not permanently destroy it, since the higher-ups will get suspicious if there's no updates at all, but he can probably temporarily disable it), and then we can launch a proper assault, maybe in conjunction with some sneaker tactics.

>>2383120
True... Hmmm.... Perhaps we should search for another Storehouse? Could the desecration of more foodstuffs in a ceremony devoted to Nurgle potentially spawn some Flying Daemons? They could air drop in some outgoings onto the vox-caster and then we could whittle them down like the flimsy crop they are.

>>2383123
We infect him with a plague that makes him explode, so he suicide bombs the vox to disable it.

>>2383125
I'd be surprised if it did. Black said that desecrating the last one would have netted us 1-3 Plaguebearers at best, so I expect we'd need to do a lot more corrupting to get some Plague Drones.

>>2383128
This is an Agri-world. Maybe there is a cropduster nearby. Load it with plague and pus and crap and we could spray down the PDF with nurgle essance.

>>2383104
Is it possible to corrupt the very ground itself to make it more like Nurgle's realm, to give us some benefits or the ability to spawn some lesser daemons at the cost of resources or something?

>>2383125
Oh yeah, while we're thinking up tactics, let's create a few explosive Nurglings. We have an excess of them now, and the explosive ones would probably be useful in a catapult, so we may as well get started on them early. How many do you guys think? 30 maybe? I almost though of trying to create winged Nurglings, but even I've got to admit the idea is far to silly to actually work.

>>2383133
Ok. Game time for realzies. We have 4 groups of cultists spread out in squads of twenty to scout. They are to search for storehouses, villages, small towns, etc. We search for Crop dusters, weapon caches, vehicles, etc. When they report back, we bring them into our loving embrace. While they are gone, the mechanics improve our remaining vehicles with armor and rams along with a weapon mount on the roof.

When we find a crop duster, we fit it with as much biofuel and boom-lings as we can before having a Zealous cultist fly it directly into the vox-caster. As soon as it impacts, we attack full force with the War Rig leading the way.

>>2383127
Eh, might be a bit of a waste, He could just shoot it, and if we're exceedingly lucky he could slip away and gun for another high value target, like the garrison's commander.

>>2383142
I agree with most of this, though I'd be concerned about them finally realizing that something's up while we're doing this. If they report us to their main command base we're pretty screwed. Can our militiaman tell us where exactly in the building the vox-caster is located, Black?

>>2383150
If it's an exposed antennae, then we can make sure to have the pilot aim for it. If it's not, we cna just have him aim for the com building.

>>2383111
>>2383150

According to your new recruit, it is indeed a fixed-vox, located near the top of the watchtower.

>>2383120

This is the boonies in an Agri-World. You have an abundance of digging equipment, and nigh-endless manpower in the form of cultists and Nurglings using their hands and claws.

>>2383123

Good point, I'd say he has a -5 to bluff from the stench. He isn't anywhere near walking corpse territory yet, and there's no sign of heresy, they wouldn't be offput by the smell.

>>2383133

It's incredibly likely there's a crop-duster. Roll 1d20, DC: 4, first roll only to determine if there is one amongst the ruins.

>>2383134

The ground itself? No, you'd have to turn the planet into a Daemon world, which is far beyond your capabilities at the moment. You could, however, devote your efforts to causing extensive decay in the crop fields surrounding the ruins, which would definitely spawn an obscene amount of Nurglings, with a chance to bring a Plaguebearer into being.

>>2383154
>You could, however, devote your efforts to causing extensive decay in the crop fields surrounding the ruins, which would definitely spawn an obscene amount of Nurglings, with a chance to bring a Plaguebearer into being.
Why have we not done this.

Rollan for the cropduster.

Rolled 5 (1d20)

>>2383154
Oh uh, here we go.

>>2383156
Agreed, we should do this. By the way, didn't we lace some diseases in among the crops of the second settlement we converted? Have those done anything yet?

>>2383156

No-one suggested it yet, though I've been hinting at it, I guess it's too blatant a solution to see.

>>2383158

Nice, you manage to locate a single cropduster, extensively rusted, but none the worse for wear. Luckily enough, a few cultists know the basics of piloting it, and two potential pilots are zealous.

>>2383163

They've begun to rot and spread rot to healthy crops, if left unchecked, eventually, it'll spread to encompass the entire region, though that might take a year or two, less if you helped it. You were going for subtlety at the time, if I remember correctly.

>>2383166
Ok let's have our cultists spend a large amount of time desecrating the surrounding crop fields while our mechanics refit the plane with as much ordinance as it can carry.

We personally work on the Boomlings while our Weapon crafter cultist trains others to make weapons.

>>2383176
Supporting, maybe have him teach our two mechanics in the off time they're not working on the plane, since I assume they'd grasp it fairly quickly along with....maybe 7 others? Give us 10 weapon makers in all. Maybe have the mechanics teach the other 8 fellows their trades while they're at it, get ourselves 10 cultists proficient in both gunsmithing and mechanics.

>>2383176
support for this.

>>2383172
So I get the gist that we're gonna crash a crop duster into the Vox thing (someone please tell me what that is and include a pic please?)? When should we do it? during the day or night? So in addition to destroying the vox, the pestilence from the booming nurglings will spread downwards?

Question for our converted ex-guard younger brother of our large family. Can he tell us the routes, procedures, maps, plans, numbers. or did we already get all that?

Oh yeah, send Mortren out with the usual raiding force as well, gotta bolster our numbers.

>>2383269
but not without a good-bye hug. He makes us and papa Nurgle proud.

>>2383266
The vox-caster is basically just the grimdark sci-fi version of a radio. I still think sending in the converted PDF troop and having him try to destroy the voxcaster might be a good idea. Can have our troops on standby to take it out with the crop duster if he fails, and launch a full frontal assault either way.

>>2383277
that might work, but it might work best if we...dare I say...clean him?

I'm sorry that was terrible of me. what if we equipped him with the least ruined gear, give him some untainted perfume and some clothes that hide his face, hands, neck and any skin?

should re run some drills with the newbie and create a plan of action once he disables the vox-caster?

>>2383166
is the watch tower with the spotlight close to the vox caster?

what if we gave some nurglings scrap armor?

>>2383284
According to >>2383154
It's located on top of the watch tower. So crashing the plane into it would disable the PDF's high ground, as well as shut off their communications.

>>2383289
oh ok. sorry for all the questions. So the proposed plans are:

1.) Nurglekazi. Crash a crop duster loaded with exploding nurglings that will spread sickness to the rest of the place, hopefully infecting a majority of them. Then ram through the two razor-wire fences (and inadvertently make an entrance?) with the rotting Nurglite war-rig leading the assault, all the while avoiding driving over the trenches?

2.) We tunnel our way inside and attack everyone while they're surprised. (but I'm worried we wont be able to kill them fast enough before they can relay a call for help)

3.) The newbie as a double agent. He sneaks into the place and disables the Vox caster and the searchlights. the latter is optional but appreciated and would be of help. Additionally it would be fantastic if he could plant a plague bomb in the vents so it infects everyone. If hes still alive he finds the highest officer and assassin ate him or her. We know he has a -5 to bluff because of his stench, but what if we gave him perfume or deodorant?

can we roll for some Old Spice?

>>2383315
I highly doubt the trenches extend over the road. They have to have a way to drive in and out of the fort correct? We load the War rig down with cultists, cram it full of nurglings(regular ones) and lead the charge. Once the Nurglekazi hits the vox-caster, we ram the gates and pour in like maggots from a dead grox.

This plan can't fail.

>>2383333
with your quads? I believe you.

>>2383333
Yeah, fair enough, I'll support this plan of attack. We should see how our next actions pan out first though before we commit to anything. Still feel like we can make use of our newest family member though. He just seems like too good an opportunity to pass up. I'm thinking we at least try and take a crack at the garrison commander with him right before the main assault starts. If he succeeds, it put their chain of command in disarray. If not we just carry out the plan anyways.

>>2383351
>I'm thinking we at least try and take a crack at the garrison commander with him right before the main assault starts. If he succeeds, it put their chain of command in disarray. If not we just carry out the plan anyways.
Not only that, if it succeeds maybe he can barricade himself in the command and control room and make a compound wide announcement to all PDF forces.
Either surrender to Nurgle and the Nurglite forces surrounding them all, or be slaughtered in horrible ways.

>>2383373
So we go all out with our infiltrator, the kamikaze and the battle wagon?

If we were worshippers of Cheese do you think he would be proud or disappointed?

If I'm getting this right, the plan is to, 1) train more cultists into militia, 2) send Mortren, a few dozen militia, and fifty or so Nurglings to proselytize by plague, 3) have the gunsmith and two mechanics train ten gunsmith/mechanics, themselves included, 4) reinforce the remaining vehicles with armor and rams, 5) and produce as many explosive Nurglings as will fit in the cropduster while leaving room for the pilot?

This'll be a doozy. Remember to specify what you're rolling for so this isn't an absolute shit-fest on my end.

Roll 1d100+5 to train cultists into militia, best of three.

>>2383684
Train gunsmiths

Rolled 47, 33, 83, 56, 57, 1 = 277 (6d100)

>>2383684
Rather than rolling each one separately, just combine the rolls and do a multiroll vote
Tgere are six things to roll for so everyone who hasnt rolled yet, do a 6d100

Rolled 45 - 20 (1d100 - 20)

>>2383684
Reinforce vehicles

Rolled 32 (1d100)

>>2383684
Explosive nurglings

>>2383763
Relieved that last one isn't for anything. Only need to roll 5 dice, the plague doctor outfit was best of one.

>>2383774
Shit I just realized that too, first roll only and it barely hit the piss easy dc, then my second roll is a critfail, the dice gods really didn't want us to have this suit. Lucky it didn't count.

>>2383695
>almost missed the plague doctor uniform AGAIN
Top laugh

Rolled 6 + 5 (1d100 + 5)

>>2383684
Rolling for training

>>2383685
>>2383696
>>2383710

66 for militia training.

>>2383687
>>2383755
>>2383763

113 for Mortren's proselytizing.

>>2383689
>>2383718
>>2383758

69 for training gunsmith/mechanics.

>>2383690
>>2383763
>>2383765

58 for vehicle reinforcement.

>>2383693
>>2383763
>>2383770

95 for explosive Nurglings.

That's a 66, 113, 69, 58, and 95. Less absurd than last time, but whew, what a doozy. So far, you've been incredibly lucky with Mortren's conversion efforts, anything below a 60 and refugees will have escaped.

>>2383695

Meanwhile, you've FINALLY managed to produce the Plague Doctor outfit, from the leather scraps and glass lenses you've scavenged from the ruins. How do you want to incorporate the long-coat and mask with your flak helmet and vest?

>>2383894
We should officially make Mortren our second in command, with the training and equipment that comes with the position.

>>2383894
The mask can clip onto the flak helmet, and the long-coat can be worn over our armour.

>>2383902
Dis

>>2383902
This but maybe we could break down the helmet and use it to layer the mask itself?

does the outfit offer any bonuses?

Looking good is always a bonus

>>2383967
Looking fly as FUCK

>>2383897

At the moment, your cult doesn't have any hierarchy beyond a vague notion that you're in charge and everyone's family. Would you like to set up some kind of ranking system? If so, what title are you going to yourself and Mortren, and what are you going to call the rank-and-file cultists?

>>2383902

This is unanimous, so we'll go with that.

>>2383967

It doesn't confer any bonus to rolls but it does grant

Now this is a nifty idea.

>>2383980
We shall be the father, Mort shall be the elder, "squad leaders" shall be big brothers/sisters, and the rank and file shall be brother and sister, and the newest ones shall be little brothers/sisters.

>>2383980
And I really wanted that Helmet Turned Mask idea.

Oh well, this is pretty good too.

>>2383980
We shall be the Good Doctor. Mortren shall be PlagueTongue. For our unholy medical skills and his blighted voice shall spread Nurgles love to all corners of the Galaxy

>>2383998
This

>>2383989
>>2383998
I'll support this instead, but well still need names for the rank and file.

>>2384002
Rank and file could be called The Wheat or Wheatmen of our harvest.
Elites/Zealots/Commandos/Whatever are our Harvesters
Non-believers are called Chaff

>>2383980
What about diplomacy or intimidation rolls?

>>2383998
Expanding because unit names are my shit

Us-The Good Doctor
Mortren-PlagueTongue
Zealous Militia- Nurgles Harvesters
Devout Militia-Rot Brothers
Snipers- BlightScouts
Zealous cultists- The Good Children
Devout Cultists- The Family

>>2383998
>>2384016
>>2384039

This is good stuff but I don't think we should show favoritism toward more zealous cultists, we're all Nurgle's children after all. What I was thinking,

> Waltram Reichart: The Good Doctor
> Mortren Deldas: The Plague Tongue
> Soldiers: Plague Reapers
> Militia: Plague Harvesters
> Snipers: Blight Scouts
> Mechanics: Blight Smiths
> Cultists: Wheat/Wheatmen
> Non-Cultists: Chaff/Chaffmen

And everyone refers to each other as family or brother/sister, regardless of rank, except for Waltram, who is referred to as father, with the logical being son>father>grandfather, and cultist>Waltram>Nurgle.

>>2384064
Love your ideas man, also I think Mortren should be called Uncle or Unca because of his lieutenant position.

>>2384064

Fug, meant logic.

>>2384064
this, so much this

>>2384064
Backing this.

>>2384064
I think we got it

>>2384064
Supporting.

>>2384064
You nailed it. Supporting.

Desire for Updoots grows exponentially

Pity for Black grows as well (thats a shit ton of writing amigo)

>>2384169
At the moment we have 110 PDF tier troops and we're training more, and we have 199 cultist tier troops, and 209 nurglings...we need more guns.....

>>2384181
Weaponry and armor are our biggest problems right now.

>>2384184
Hopefully those PDF will be generous, also how do you all think we should ration our equipment?

>>2384184
Agreed. Hopefully taking out the PDF fort will alleviate our lack of military grade equipment somewhat.

>>2383894
>>2383980
>>2384064

So you've decided on the titles? Alrighty then, update in an hour or two.

>>2384181

The average PDF is the equivalent of Veteran Militia, receiving a +10 to combat rolls, with some being the equivalent of basic or elite tier, a +5 and +15, respectively. Generally PDF assigned to isolated outposts like this and outlying storehouses are newer, and less likely to have veterans and elites in the mix. I'm doing behind-the-scenes rolls to determine the spread of plague and, (eventually,) the Imperial response to your activities.

Since you picked the Traitor Guard background, normally you'd have a +30 to close and ranged combat, but most of your training went into first aid and working as a paramedic, something you had plenty of opportunities to do fighting the Dark Eldar.

>>2384253
How many training sessions/combat missions does it take to get veteran militia?

>>2384253
Also could we get a look at Mortren's stats?

Poor Black, having to write practically a short story's worth every other post.

>>2384420
The quality of his update posts is crazy.

>>2383894

The Putrid Harvest is a family, riddled with revelrous rot, bursting with blistering bile, and filled with unflinching devotion toward one another, and above all else, the Plaguefather. Like all families, if it is to thrive, even as Chaos, it must have order, it must have hierarchy, and you, as the first believer and wisest in the ways of plague, must be at the head of that hierarchy. You will be The Good Doctor, and you must have a suit worthy of your station.

Digging through piles of scrap cloth, you find several dozen strips of leather, and scrounging through piles of junk metal, you obtain three appropriately sized glass lenses and a sufficient quantity of rusted and cracked but still sturdy, high-grade steel. The work takes you the whole of an afternoon but your pour your mind, body, and soul into it, relying on the scattered visions and memories of others Nurgle has given you. When you've finished, you are pleased with the results.

A long, thick breech-coat stitched of leather scraps, haphazardly arranged and patchwork, riddled with fine holes and chewing mites, it indeed surpasses all expectation. The mask, a slightly curved, inverted triangle with softly pointed edges and irrevocably corroded material, its two most striking features are its beak, and its eyes.

Covering the mouth is a reinforced grill, which gives the impression of a respirator but does nothing to prevent the flow of microbes, above it, is the beak, a robustly thin, long and sharo point, with an ever so slight slight curve. Above it, are the three lenses, arranged in the Mark of Nurgle that your three eyes might peer beyond its decayed steel. You reverently don each part of the ensemble, carefully fitted to allow the wear of armor, and gazing into a yellowed mirror, allow yourself a grin. This, this is exactly what you had in mind.

You gather the cult as a whole and begin to preach, extolling the value of what it means to be family, and that a family must have discipline if it is to function. You then slowly introduce the titles and ranking system you've envisioned, formerly declaring yourself the Good Doctor, Father of the Putrid Harvest, and dub Mortren the Plague Tongue, Uncle to Nurgle's Sons and Daughters. The cultists take to the concept readily, and without missing a beat, begin to refer to themselves and to each other by brother, sister, or their rank in the cult. You're happy it went so well, and you feel it is high time for a reckoning with the Planetary Defense Force. But first, you must prepare.

You give out orders to each and every man and woman standing, at once an imperious, fanatical prophet and jovial father figure. Your voice inspires action and your visage, respect. The Plague Tongue, Mortren Deldas thanks you deeply for accepting him as your second-in-command, and swears to see Nurgle's will be done, taking nigh on a hundred militant faithful, as many Nurglings, and a fleet of twelve trucks, loaded with an arsenal of weapons.

When his forces leave, you turn your attentions to more pressing matters. Namely, the preparation of your vehicles, preparation of mechanically-inclined personnel, and training the cult into a half-decent fighting force. Both the mechanics and the gunsmith are eager to learn one another's trade and take to it with gusto, swearing to have taught seven more by two week's end. You ask them to see to it that the initiate's skills are tested with the modification of pickup trucks for war, and they reassure you that they'll see to it.

With that taken care of, you turn your efforts to teaching the cultist's newest children to fight, and as eager as they are, by the week's end, you doubt they're entirely ready to go head-to-head with the PDF, though some have noticeably improved. During the time you spent training, the Nurgling's endless frolicking has borne fruit, gleefully spawning a great many more from the totalled town's garbage and filth.

> 58 Devout Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia!
> 13 Zealous Nurglite Cultists are trained into Militia!
> 139 Nurglings have spawned!

The efforts of the gunsmiths and mechanics has shown no more success, by lack of tools more than any insufficient faith, and as much as they attempt to apologize, you refuse them, claiming they have no need to regret their failure, as it was not their own shortcoming. Nonetheless, three more, counting the gunsmith have been taught the basics of mechanical engineering, and given the resources at hand, they've done a decent-enough job on the vehicular front, outfitting two trucks with rams, spikes, and armor.

> 3 Devout Nurglite Cultists have become Devout Nurglite Mechanics!
> 2 Decaying Pickup Trucks have been turned into Armored Decaying Pickup Trucks!

Every moment of free time you have, you focus on stuffing the fattest Nurglings you can find sharp objects and your combustive disease formula, until they've doubled in size and are ready to blow at the slightest impact. They're absolutely ecstatic when you tell them you plan on suicidally ramming them into an Imperial watch tower, and the infantile explosive noises they make are nothing short of adorable. You feel you might have overdone it, with twenty-nine explosive Nurglings, there's no way you're fitting them all on the cropduster, but you're going to have to find a way to use them before their two-month shelf life expires and they deflate.

> 29 Nurglings are made into Explosive Nurglings!

And on the end of the seventh day, the Plague Tongue arrives with just short of thirty new pickups and a second trailer truck. Every inch of each vehicle is filled with howling cultists and laughing Nurglings, and you shudder with deep delight to imagine the despair this force shall inflict on the PDF. Mortren gives you his tally of six villages and two towns, and explains they encountered a trailer truck stacked with fresh grain on the way that they simply couldn't pass up.

>>2384468
>>2384470

One-hundred and ninety-nine were willing to convert, the rest died of sickness or were slain by the cult's own hand. During the mission, they encountered a squad of five PDF in one village, who were sent there to investigate the rumors of disappearances. Like the rest, they fell victim to the plague but stayed strong in their faith, and slayed three militia and nine Nurglings before they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The Nurglings spawned by the dozen each day, and by the end of the week, tripling in size, numbering two-hundred and eight all in all. They found forty-three shotguns, forty-six scoped bolt-action rifles, eighteen handmade autoguns, and another antique las gun, along with fourteen pickup trucks, and the trailer truck.

He's proud to tell you how his oratory skill has improved, and he's gotten to the point he says in a few months, he won't need to get "Empy's chil'un's" sick before he brings them to convert. All but six of the surviving militia are now zealous, and eighteen of them have risen to the highest reaches of faith, become fanatical in their devotion, literally frothing at the mouth to slay the servants of the Corpse Emperor and see the Plaguefather's generous gifts lavished on all the world's children. As always, you're impressed, at this rate, you'll drown the PDF OFF in bodies.

> 199 Devout Nurglite Cultists gained!
> 3 Devout Nurglite Militia have been slain!
> 41 Devout Nurglite Militia have become Zealous!
> 18 Zealous Nurglite Militia have become Fanatical!
> 105 Nurglings have spawned!

You're not certain how much longer it'll be before you can call your cult a fledgling religion, but at this rate, it shouldn't be long.
