The Lords of Silence: Harbingers of Nurgle
Plague-Bearing Warriors
The Lords of Silence are a fearsome warband of Death Guard Chaos Space Marines, devoted to Nurgle, the Chaos God of decay and pestilence. They are relentless and horrifying, spreading corruption wherever they go. Under their ruthless leader, Vorkalth the Pale, they wield Nurgle’s gifts with terrifying precision, their bloated armor marked by rot and decay.
Agents of Corruption
More than just a warband, the Lords of Silence are vectors of Nurgle’s will, spreading plagues to weaken and destroy the Imperium. Their campaigns begin with insidious outbreaks, crippling worlds before they launch devastating assaults. Blessed by Nurgle, their corrupted bodies make them nearly indestructible, enduring wounds that would kill lesser beings.
The Black Maw: A Plague Ship
Central to their power is The Black Maw, their massive, decaying flagship. This warship is both a fortress and a laboratory, oozing pestilence as it spreads Nurgle’s gifts across the stars. Inside, the Lords of Silence refine blight grenades, craft new contagions, and commune with daemonic entities, turning the ship into a weapon of despair.
Embodiments of Decay
The Lords of Silence embody Nurgle’s grim ideology: that all things must decay. They are more than warriors—they are living symbols of despair, reminding the galaxy of the inevitability of entropy. Through their ceaseless campaigns of pestilence and destruction, they reveal the fragility of hope and the devastating power of Chaos.
