but nurgle is just as nice to his own people, nurglings, plaguebearers, great unclean ones etc, as emps was to his own people. i'm not particularily a fan of the imperium or chaos but the idea of the biased point of view is totally accurate - from both sides: side a - nurgle is a chaos god and therefore inherantly evil is the point of view of those that fight him, and emps is inherantly good because of all he has done for humanity. side b - nurgle loves his own people, which separates him from the other deities, and emps was a power-hungry despot whose sole desire is the extermination of any life that disagreed with humanity's 'destiny' to arbitrarily rule (as much as i may like emps i do think that that's quite a deranged and psychotic idea).

if both biased viewpoints were to meet in the middle then, objectively speaking, emps and nurgle are just as good and evil as each other. again 'good' and 'evil' being terms based on biased opinion, "my way is better than yours" type of thinking.

"chaos gods are bad news", generally i agree but nurgle is different from the others in that he actually cares about his people.

by the way, i get the irony of saying nurgle loves his own people when technically they are all manifistations of his own being. maybe he's just unbelievably narcissistic :)
