Warriors

I wanted my Warriors to look very Nurgly so I have used the Plague bearer bodies with some Warrior helmets and shields. The weapons will be a combination of various sources. The champion has the champion cloak from the Warriors of Chaos boxed set with one of the left over torsos from the Blightkings kit. I want to give them the cloaks from the High Elves White Lions but Hoard o'bits is currently out of stock. The banner top is from 40k and the musicians flail bells are from the Blightkings kit.

Forsaken

Using the forsaken boxed set and topping it up 5 extra bodies from some Black Orcs I have a unit of 15. I have used larger bases to make it a 5 by 4 unit, so that the unit Champion can be on a 50mm base as he is a true monster. At the moment I have yet to really sort out the arms and heads for most of them, but they will pretty much be made from left overs from every other kit.

Marauders

The idea came to me that the Marauders should come from an Empire Battalion that was sent to take on this Nurgle Hoard and lost. The survivors becoming infected and turning Nurgly. This is a great opportunity to really play with some Nurgly bits and lots of green stuff. It also gave me reason to use the Empire models from the 6th Edition boxed set that I originally bought solely for the Orc figures.

I gained a Slaughtbrute face in the bag of bits I bought off trademe and had intended to use it for my daemon prince but it was too large in the end so I made use of it for the Marauder banner. It kind of looks like a Chinesse parade dragon. Im looking forward to seeing how this comes out.

Knights

The Chaos Knights always look so bad ass but to make them more Nurgly I have used the shields and helmets that came with the Blightkings. The champion is riding a converted horse from the Empire General boxed set and is ridden by one of the plague drone riders.

Blightkings

I love the Blightkings boxed set, it has so many excess Nurgle parts to play with. However to keep to my 'must use at least 2 kits' rule I have used Plague bearer and Forsaken heads, along with some Forsaken, Dragon Ogre and Spawn arms to spice them up.

As you can see I have evened up their number by using my test painted Nurlge Lord, now with some conversions of his own.

Spawn

Here is a quick knock up of one of the Spawn I intend to make. I intend to use the Plague Drone body for both Spawn but have only decided on the layout of the first one so far. I like idea of something along the lines of a 'Bile Scorpion'.

As you can see I have the body of the Plague Drone with the stomach mouth of a Maggoth Lord and the legs from a Tyrannid. It also has a spikey spine made from a Minotaurs mane.

Model kits and sourced pieces

Here are the boxed sets I have collected to form the majority of this Nurgle project.

I have the 6th edition of the Warhammer Fantasy boxed set from which I will be using the Empire figures to make a converted unit of Marauders. There is a box of Forsaken for the great choice of limbs & heads it offers and a box of knights as they just look bad ass. To round it off I got the 'Pestilent Swarm' boxed set for all its Nurgly goodness. 

I have also sourced parts from various places. I have the Empire General boxed set, the Nurgle Lord blister, some choice pieces from the very useful www.hoardobits.com and a random bag of left over Chaos Warrior bits I bought off trademe (New Zealands eBay).
