Maybe their planet was hit by some sort of disaster, be it nukes, bioweapons, or some kind of extreme pollution, that made it unlivable in the long term for the people on the planet. Maybe life expectance has dropped to 20 or so years, maybe it's so radioactive that everyone is iether shooting blanks or only making horrible mutants, or maybe everyone catches super-leprosy from the air and their dangly bits turn black and fall off. Whatever the problem is, the elites of the planet (who can insulate themselves from whatever it is, together with the PDF that have proper hazmat gear and training) turn to vat-grown humans to maintain a working population. Of course, their lives a re still horrific, painful and short, but who cares, we can make more, fully grown and with all neccesary skills implanted. Which is the ideal soil for Nurgle's cults to take root, of course.

So these untrained vat-spawn are shot into battle via orbital drop-pods? Neat.

Or they just jump out the back of perfectly good flyers in the hope their grav-chutes slowing them down before they crash against the ground. During this they are a sitting (well, falling) duck for enemy fire, and once they hit the ground they need to survive with very little supppies in the middle of enemy lines.
Fortunately, the Nurglite approach to death is "meh, whatever. When it happens it happens".

> Trench Warfare!
I'm not sure how to reconcile that with the drop strategy, but we can make it work. Nurglite paratroopers is a clever take on that concept. Roll 1d10 for Loyalty Rating!

After all those 6s i really think we should have defaulted to Slaanesh

Drop in then dig in survive off of anything they dig up or catch around the drop/trench camp.

Maybe the static parts of the army keep the enemy in place using their trenches and other defences, while the paratroopers drop in behind them?
Sebastian White
What if the standard conscription is just them being plucked from vats? No real in between as far as life cycle goes
The 82nd Airborne Infantry was founded in WWI
Tactically insert behind enemy lines then dig in, or even better clear out and seize existing emplacements. Annoying as fuck to fight
Nathaniel Butler
Hmm, maybe, but we've gone too far to turn back now.
I like both of these.
