Editing Zombie Plague (section)

==But why?==

Nurgle has had a long standing thing of being able to raise the dead and some of the old fluff did mention it but it seems to have become a more center stage ability of his to raise his victims as his new worshipers and that is due to the current zombie trend in mainstream culture.

There are also plenty of other things capable of making their own Zombie Plague. Some xenos species and human sorcerers can reanimate the dead through warp craft, some lesser Daemons love doing it themselves by possessing corpses, and a few xenos species reanimate the dead through a parasitic method. All in all, plenty of ways to justify an outbreak.

At the end of the day GW is nothing if not on the ball for an opportunity to join in on a trend. Seeing how popular zombies have become and horrified their space themed game doesn't have them in good measure like their fantasy game, GW decided to change that. Now you too can have super killer zombies in space, and recreate all your favourite scenes. Why not make <s>Alice from Resident Evil into a psycho Sister of Battle (or Sister of Battle equivalent of Kaldor Draigo)? The Sister Repentia models with the chainsaws strike me as a good start...</s> {{BLAM}} {{BLAM|Of all the zombie outbreak protagonists, you choose a Mary Sue!?}} Alternatively, you can build a Guardsman squad and play [[Warhammer 40K: Darktide|Darktide]] on tabletop.
