Plaguecaster Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) I'm generally a fanatic when it comes to fluff especially relating to the Death Guard and Nurgle so I was extremly pleased when the concept of Vectoriums which whist can be in completly differnt colours they still hold loyalty to the Death Guard as a whole unlike other slinter warbands and still are considered a part of one of the 7 great companies. Now I get a bit funny when fluff concering the organisation isnt gathered in one place so I decided to take it upon myself to complie a list of every known Vectorium and list what company they belong to as well as what pg they are made mentionin the codex plus I was bored and felt like it would be interesting :D 1st Plague Company: Harbingers, Led by Typhus The Mouldering Claw pg 16, pg21 2nd Plague Company Pallid Hand pg15, pg23, Rusted Claws pg20 Tainted Lung pg20 (The 2nd doesnt have any name they are known by) 3rd Pague Company: Mortarion's Anvil Putrid Choir pg15, pg21, pg32 Dolorous Gnaw; pg32, 4th Plague Company: Led by the Eater of Lives Apostles of Contagion pg 16, pg54 Bilious Ones pg53 Filth Favoured pg53 Prophets of the Seven pg53 (The 4th doesnt have a name they are known by) 5th Plague Company: Poxmongers Smogrot Brotherhood pg50 Sons of the Maggot pg50 Suppurant Sting pg50 Weeping Legion pg16, pg21 6th Plague Company: Ferrymen Glooming Lords pg16 7th Plague Company: Mortarion's Chosen Sons Fecund Ones pg 15 Vectoriums who have no known ties to one of the 7 companies Carrion Hounds pg17 Corpsemakers pg17 Favoured Sons pg17 Heralds of Despair pg17 Poisoned Chalice pg17, pg23 The Tainted (Forgeworld's Vectorium unknown if they belong to one of the Plague Companies) Tainted Sons pg15 (possibly 7th Company since they are favoured by Mortarion) Rotswarm Brotherhood pg17 Hope it proves helpful to someone as I more or less wanted it to help with creating some diy fluff as I am basing my force on the Prophets of the Seven Vectorium since they belong to the 4th Company who are lead by Sorcerers since the Eater of Lives favours them, If I have missed anything let me know and ill try to keep it updated Edited September 30, 2017 by Plaguecaster Isolia, Marshal Loss and Azekai 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isolia Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) It does help thanks, I'm doing a personal scheme vaguely based on the Putrid Choir and I must have read a bit fast, did not realized they were from the 3rd and thus could very well have a Morty with colours close to theirs rather than the more classical vectoriums (vectoria?) :) at least in my reading of the plague religion ;) Edited September 30, 2017 by Isolia Plaguecaster 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radionausea Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) The Tainted and Apostles of Contagion are one and the same. At least they should be. Necrosius was the leader of the Apostles of Contagion and has somehow now become The Tainted. Edited September 30, 2017 by radionausea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Even in the Vraks books they were two seperate warbands though with the Tainted eventually being led by Mamon which the Apostles had Necrosius, though GW has expanded on the Apostles more whilst FW seem to of changed the fluff for Necrosius or just got it wrong. Thought it'd be easier to keep them seperate as they still are 2 different forces though now it's just whether or not FW will expand on it more (or faq it so we actually know how the Tainted keyword actually works since only Necrosius or Mamon can have it) Edited September 30, 2017 by Plaguecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Are The Purge a Death Guard warband or Renegades who went full Nurgle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockmaster Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Are The Purge a Death Guard warband or Renegades who went full Nurgle? Nurgle worshipping renegades I assume as they are not mentioned in the DG codex. Reyner 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yeah they are renegades, was going to add renegade chapters to the list as well but unfortunately I don't have the CSM codex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopkins Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 worked out quite well for me as i wanted to do a dual 30k/40k army, so pallid hand scheme and tanks for the win Reyner and Plaguecaster 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Are The Purge a Death Guard warband or Renegades who went full Nurgle? Nurgle worshipping renegades I assume as they are not mentioned in the DG codex. I wouldn't go by that, Lords of Decay aren't listed in the Codex and they're a Death Guard warband.

Plaguecaster Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) The Purge, Lords of Decay and also the Cleaved (who I think were Nurgle from the 5th codex) were all confirmed as Renegades in the previous codex pg16 and pg18 though I don't know if that's been changed in the new codex as I haven't got it. Lords of Decay were previously the Lances of Pteros until the ill fated Abyssal Crusade where they were corrupted by Nurgle. I think I may update the list to include renegade chapters as well just need to try borrow the codex of someone at my club to see if there is any good info Edited October 2, 2017 by Plaguecaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmb_123 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The Purge and The Cleaved are on p.22 of the Death Guard Codex in "The Gorgon's Lair" section. Typhus and the 1st Plague Company fought "alongside" them. By the look of it they're still separate entities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhanados Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Purge and The Cleaved are on p.22 of the Death Guard Codex in "The Gorgon's Lair" section. Typhus and the 1st Plague Company fought "alongside" them. By the look of it they're still separate entities. Makes sense. As far as I recall both the Purge and the Cleaved were non-Deathguard, non-Plague Marine Nurgle followers and had their own unique things going on. Gotta throw those Nurglite CSMs a bone!

Marshal Loss Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) The Purge have inconsistently been referred to as both a DG splinter faction and a renegade force in official GW codexes. In ADB's 'Black Legion' book, they are a Death Guard extremist faction: The life-reviling Purge were drawn from extremists among the Death Guard. Probably one of those things where the Imperium believes one thing while the reality could be very different. In any case, I prefer them to be a DG splinter faction - a bunch of lunatic extremists running around seeking to end all life is pretty cool. They're more commonly said to be Renegades, though.

Dardl Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I wonder how Apostle of contagion and The tainted players feel about the apparent retconning of both warbands. When Dark Imperium was announced I was going to make the tainted warband or a apostles of contagion warband but when I seen the uncertainty of their future I just made a death guard vectorum that I call the Rot Lords. If I had a fully painted tainted or AOC army I'd be quite put out by this. Anyone else feel the same? Am I completely off the mark here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockmaster Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I prefer the idea that they have kept Death Guard & Nurgle Worshipping CSM both a thing in the game, not as if anyone will have a problem with you playing The Purge, Apostles of Contagion etc using the Death Guard codex if you prefer but nice that not every Nurgle worshipping marine is forced in to being Death Guard all of a sudden.

Panzer Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well Mark of Nurgle in the CSM Codex is still a thing so of course DG and Nurgle worshipping CSM are still different things in the game. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
