The players are essentially "Nurgle-esque" parodies of the players on a standard Chaos roster. The Nurgle team, as it might be expected, is all about plague. No further information is given on their roster or lineup. The "Subterranean Slimeballs" are mentioned in 2nd Edition as being a team dedicated to Nurgle.

It's worth noting, however, that the first mention of a Nurgle based team predates this bit of fluff.

Since that time, the number of Nurgle teams has grown on the professional Bloodbowl circuit. Nurgle responded by infecting them all with Nurgle's Rot and showing them the way home. The basic story is that the team that would become "Nurgle's Rotters" was trapped on a ship somewhere in the icey waters off Norsca, and that the team swore an oath to Nurgle if he would deliver them from their predicament.

However, only one team survived that period of experimentation - and that was the team based upon Nurgle, Lord of Sickness and Decay (Chaotic Entropy, by any other name.) As such, Nurgle remains the only chaos team specifically dedicated to one member of the Chaos Pantheon (the allegiance of Chaos Dwarf teams to Hashut has never been implicitly stated, and Chaos Dwarf teams have been mentioned in fluff in as worshippers of more than one of the Chaos Gods.) One of the Living Rulebooks experimented with the concept of chaos teams based upon each of the four Chaos Gods. However, over time a number of experiments were attempted with adding new rosters or changing the style of play. ORIGINALLY, Blood Bowl included only two chaos teams - the Chaos team itself, and a Chaos Dwarf team.
