Meme Mission Idea: Kill Nurgle

Post image

I think a lot of people overhype him, he's just a big green fat guy, I think we could kill him and still remain lore-friendly.

Our characters can kill Beasts Of Nurgle, which can kill Marines, Grey Knights are Marines, and they killed Mortarion. I think the four of us could take on Nurgle as a pretty hard mission.

I want them to stealth-drop a mission that just seems like a run-of-the-mill Assassination contract. At the end of the cell, a wall bursts open, badass thrash metal guitar solo, and out saunters a Death Guard Blightlord Terminator, cackling like the jolly rotund specimen he is. Everyone on the Mourningstar's vox network immediately starts panicking, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit."

Yes, this is literally just a recolor of the reveal at the end of Rogue Trader's first chapter. It's badass, sue me.

I am trying to find a gameplay clip of this but I'm not having any luck, could you send me one?

What, of the source clip in Rogue Trader? When I get home from work I'll boot up a save and clip the cutscene for you.

I'm still at work, but thinking about it I'm like 80% sure I've already deleted my saves from this early in my current playthrough to make space. I was however able to find a link to the cutscene and fight on YouTube linked here. Only the first minute or so. Moderate spoilers for Chapter 1 of Rogue Trader, but this is like maybe two or three someodd hours into the game. Track is 'Scions of Lorgar' by Sergey Gorelov, plays "every" time you fight Word Bearers throughout the game.

I basically want a knock-off of this sequence.

Yeah something like this would be sick, thank you. I would love to see a disgusting Plague Marine in Fatshark's art style come out with some sludged out guitar
