The Corrupted

&nbsp The Corrupted are a chaos space marine legion that have fallen to the whim of Nurgle. Led into battle by the ever-pustulous Daemonic Master Buruli and his retinue, The Corrupted have been responsible for billions of deaths. The Corrupted, during the time of the Horus Heresy, remained loyal to the Emperor when they're battle brothers of the Death Guard fell to chaos. They swiftly changed the name to the Brazen Guard and carried on seemingly under the command of the Imperium. Little did they or the inquistion know that Buruli, Marburg and his highest ranking marines had all fallen to Nurgle at the same time as Mortarion and his army. The Corrupted now reside on their plague planet homeworld of Proteus Vulgaris home to a plethora of ghastly, blighted horrors.

Doctrine
The Corrupted have held the doctrines set out by their great Primarch Mortarion in high reverance. He offered them redemption when they made they're arduous journey away from the Imperium, just as Nurgle did. For this reason, the majority of The Corrupted army is made up of plague marines and terminators as well as any daemonic help provided by His Bloated Majesty. Buruli, obviously holds biological warfare in high regard also, encouraging all his troops to study the art of biology and toxicology. His increasingly less clandestine use of biological weapons was what showed the true extent of their fall to the ruinous powers to the Inquistion. Buruli enjoys the fun of creating a new infection though. In his giant laboratory on Proteus Vulgaris, Buruli toils at his Nurgle-emanating cauldron and tests on captured prisoners of war.
