The Juvenal Conspiracy
"Now, now, my good and eminently reasonable friend, why don't we lower the bolter and have a civilised chat? No one has ever found killing me particularly helpful, and I promise you'll find my proposal exceptionally lucrative." - Captain Juvenal of the First Legion to yet another very angry warband leader
Active theatres of war attract Chaos warbands like flies to honey - all too literally in the case of the followers of Nurgle. Even in the case of major incursions by heretic warlords, other unaffiliated warbands will abound, raiding opportunistically even if this brings them into conflict with the greater Chaos force.
This makes them the favored tool of the charismatic and infuriating Fallen Captain Juvenal; any patterns or synergy in the seemingly random depredations of a dozen feuding heretic raiding crews will not be detected until years after the fact, if at all. The negotiations to construct his subtle and devilish schemes can be...delicate...and Juvenal can expect to be shot at, hurled out airlocks and immersed in daemonic acid in the course of any given day. But he reappears in warzone after warzone, well-kempt and with satisfied smile intact, so whatever drawbacks there are to his means, one can only assume his ends are met.
Lazarus of the "Emperor's Scythes", associating with Inquisitor Tara, has so far identified only one such warband of Fallen pawns active in this sector, the loathsome denizens of the plague hulk Inimitable Generosity. A mixed host of Nurglespawn attending the grotesque greater demon Sevenfold Munificence and their loosely obedient Ferryman allies following the sorcerer Epicurean of Virtuous Maladies, this warband only amplifies the threat of epidemic posed by the powerful Dusk Raiders already afflicting the theatre. However since Juvenal is careful never to take the field alongside the denizens of the Generosity, Lazarus has judged them irrelevant to the task of capturing the Fallen Captain, and has not deigned to alert Inquisitor Tara nor the Daughters of Russ as to the threat they pose.

Starting a Chaos Crusade to host the bounteous collection of (highly familiar to many of you) Nurgle figures I'll soon be picking up!
