    So the way I look at the difference between Nurgle and The Horned Rat is this:
    Nurgle creates plagues to be a form of life, because it is. They may not be pleasant, but bacteria, fungus, parasites, and feces serve an important role in nature. Nurgle is simply the extreme version of this aspect.
    Pestilins and the Great Horned Rat are quite different. It’s not about honoring the more fetid aspects of life…it’s about eradication and conquest.
    They see the plagues as means of destroying their foes, and much of their plagues are not necessarily bacteria or viruses…as it is virulent toxins and chemicals.
    Pestilins are akin to hazardous substances, poison gases, and even radiation that are designed to make life inhospitable (save for the Skaven). Whereas Nurgle seeks to keep some sort of ecosystem and relative biodiversity with his plagues.

      @@lokensicarius9347 I strongly believe, because it seemed hinted that the Great Horned Rat is a sort of God Of Chaos Undivided. It represents all of them in some manner, while being it’s own entity.
      Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Age of Sigmar recognizes him as the fifth Chaos God. Which honestly I think is a good change, because for all intents and purposes, it’s what he is.
      In my own head-canon, the Great Horned Rat was originally a lesser recognized Old One. One that wanted to rise above his peers and take control of the project himself. So what did he do? Collapse the polar gates and then absorb the sudden magical energies from the Ruinous Powers. However, he got trapped in the Realms Of Chaos in the process, but was now strong enough carve out his own realm, feed off the “scraps” of the other four, and even influence the realms beyond by creating the Skaven race.

Then again, look at it this way, In the real world, rats carry disease and all that.. The great Horned Rat, is probably like a lower demon that Nurgle sends out, for the front. The Skaven definitely fall into the whole theme of Nurgle.

      I would imagine Nurgle hating the Horn Rat and his Skavens with all of Nurgle's rotten heart. Because as another commentor said, Nurgle loves life. Nurgle does not want to destroy all life, but rather nurture it through diseases. That's why Nurgle's kingdom is just one big garden. Skavens on the other hand just want to destroy. They do not care about how their enemies died, just that they dead. Diseases and poison is just a means to an end for Skavens, which contradict Nurgle as diseases such as bacteria and viruses are a way of life for Nurgle.

    aaaaaaaaahhhh miss information, Skrolk is A plague lord of clan pestilence in particular he's the lord of their campaign in Lustria. Arch-Plaguelord Nurglitch is the leader of all clan pestilence, also hes why Skrolk is blind. For upon seeing Arch-Plaguelord Nurglitch in all of his diseased form Skrolk clawed out his own eyes so that the last thing he would ever see is Nurglitch's perfect form . shame on you guys SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!! i come to you guys for lore i should have to be correcting you, the true leaders of all skaven never go into battle. they are too important for that.
    also all of the members of the council of thirteen are unknown in their age cause they use drugs and magic to keep themselves alive way beyond that of any normal lord.
    14.50 aahhhhh you clam that over population is why the skaven spread through out the world, not true. it was a massive explosion by clan skryre that nearly wiped out most of their numbers that cause the migration. after that the council of thirteen, not knowing that Skryre was responsible, decided that it was unwise to keep most of their people in one place. this was when they demanded all clans to find their own cities so that the council would be safe. although from my knowledge Skryre does still live in skavenblight.
    22:50 you mentioned this a few times i think but this was when i caught it, you said that the Lords of Decay were at war with the Council of Thirteen. aahhh those are the same people the thirteen members of the Council are also known as the Lords of the Decay. and with all things skaven the major reason for this Civil war (which was the second.) was cause the Gray seers who at the time were the only skaven known to use magic were threated by the fact that the Plaguelords could also use magic and offered it to anyone who would join them. though even among skaven clan pestilence is considered nuts, but again it was a rivaling religion among the skaven and at the time the Grey seers were the only recognized religion among the skaven.
    also sorry this one is just a bit nit picky but clan eshin didn't swear loyalty but demand a seat on the Council if they could end the Civil war. Skaven never swear loyalty to anyone cause they don't have much of a concept of loyalty. all skaven serve the skaven above them cause of fear, and even the Council members are always trying to be killed by either other members or the members of their own clans so that they can take their spot as clan leader. each member of the Council is also the head of a particular clan with the exception of the two seats for the Gray seers, one for their clan itself and the thirteen chair that is represented by the Great horned rat himself which is used by the gray seers as well as the official voice of the great horned rat. sorry for the rant i just love lore and skaven lore in particular.

    It’s not too crazy to think that Nurgle is the Horned Rat. Everyone sees and interprets the god in their own way, I could easily see rats falling for a gods trickery. Especially when they’re considered Zealots.

      This is something I believe myself, that the Great Horned Rat is a Chaos God that feeds off the others like a rat in the shadows. He’s taking bits and pieces of them to empower himself. Plagues, Bloodlust, Magic, and Desire.
      Alternatively and perhaps additionally, I hypothesize that the Great Horned Rat used to be one of the Old Ones too. Maybe a lesser, forgotten one.
      (Then again, I think the Old Ones perhaps turned into the various gods of the world.)
      Ever wondered how or why the polar gates came crumbling down and the Old Ones fled? Or the fact Warpstone exists in great quantities?
      What if one of their number wanted to take control of the Warhammer world for himself, while amassing greater power? So he collapsed the gates and empowered himself with the mutating energies of Chaos? What if that one became the Great Horned Rat and raised the Skaven as his “chosen” race? A sort of foil to the Lizardmen.
      IMHO, it would tie-in nicely with the long-standing rivalry between the Lizardmen and Skaven.

      I'm pretty sure it's heavily implied if not outright stated that the great horned rat IS nurgle, just a skaven flavored version. Similar to how the same gods on the good side of the pantheon have different names from the different races. Although, considering both Warhammer universes are places where new deities are created just because enough people decide that one exists, it might be a distinct being after all.
