While Vander may be familiar with WH, "Nergal" (with that spelling) is much, much, much older than Warhammer, being a Mesopotamian deity, and since the rest of the deities referenced in the game are also Mesopotamian (e.g. Ishtar, Ninkasi, Marduk, Ereshkigal), that's a much safer assumption.With the last update, makes me think that the dev enjoys a little Warhammer lol. Cult of Nergal and Sisters of War? You mean Nergle and Sisters of Battle? lol
Nurgle's name is very likely Games Workshop modifying Nergal's name, so it's more a matter of both Vander and GW using the same source material (Mesopotamian myth).
(Thinking something is a reference to pop culture should lead you to investigating the origins of the pop culture element you think is being referenced, since you may be missing a reference that the pop culture element is itself making.)
As for the Sisters of War, also probably not a WH reference. There's little to no similarity between them and the Adepta Sororitas, for instance.
