IMO it enhances the perception of having a lot of small individual critters together. My thought is that it gives you more to "discover" on each base. I've started with the variety as well. Seeing your bases definitely convinces me I'm on the right path. I think I am going to go for some brown and purple and flesh tone ones as well as the ochre and green. I do like the idea of having things to discover on each base. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I find beginning an army is always such a rush, thinking about colour schemes etc. Then testing stuff to see what you get. Still working on a list for Nurgle but I started playing around with colours (in-between finishing my other army). And this is where I am so far.

sal4m4nd3r Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I have never been a fan of green skin for mortal nurgle (blightkings or the mord of plagues) but this tone of green is really nice! great work, it looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nin Win Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yes, i think the pallid greenish white flesh looks great. I've added the picture to my folder/notes about the range of skin tones. I think mortal and nurgle aligned beast men will look great in that scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal4m4nd3r Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'll share some of my army photos. Decided to do a blightkings heavy army. They have trees, grass, mushrooms, vines and plants growing off of them. Going with the idea that they are rotting and decaying as we speak and are glorifying piles of compost that spread decay to others nearby. Plants and trees have found a nice moist fleshy fold (blech!) to germinate in. Bases will be heavily grasses and flower-d and fallen logs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrags Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Hey all! So I'm still pretty mew to Nurgle in general but it seems like the Tally Band is kind of the end all, be all of Demons of Nurgle. I mean granted, its basically our ONLY formation. I was wondering though, what do we do offence wise? I mean we seem to have durability in the bag with "Disgustingly Resilient" alone not to mention any shenangins with "Fleshy Abundance" from the Glotkin (though to be fair that might not be with the points. I assume the extra attack to all Nurgle balances it out though :P) I digress however, OFFENCE! Where does out damage come from? Mortal wound procs? Pure statistics spam from Blight Kings attacks? Or do we just forego offence all together and focus on wars of attrition, outlasting our opponents? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrudian Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'd like to share my small Nurgle army as well. I opted for a bit more colourful Nurgle approach by using less "obvious" colours, without trying to lose that Nurgle look & feel we all love The harbinger I converted from an old High Elf dragon prince I had lying around. He's the general and will go by the name of H'ard Nekkagh (Dutch people will understand )Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percivael Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Great thread already, and timely as I am currently painting a Nurgle army... veerrry slooowwlly - about one Blight King a week! Concentrating on Rotbringers for the time being. They are called the Diviners of the Red Stench. I keep promising myself that I'll do a blog on them containing all the narrative but it's not materialised yet so here's some images for the time being. The many legged one is my Harbinger of Decay Scrofulox Neverspawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sounds like there isn't much on the Daemons side of things? I feel like I hear Tally Band get thrown around a lot but it seems like that's all just more defense to me.

Arkiham Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 It is, as is plaguetouched. The offense comes from unut sizes. Unit of 14 blightkings deals a mortal wound when attacked on a to wound roll of a 6. And you can still save that so they could end up hurting themselves more than you.

True, they don't put out much damage, (demons), but they are built for taking and holding objectives. A tallyband with 2 GUOs is going to be very hard to dislodge from an objective. The real issue with Nurgle isn't the lack of rend, although that IS an issue, is the mostly slow moving troops. This can be somewhat alleviated with units of drones and of course, Sayl.

You cant be both hammer and anvil, unless your sylvaneth I kid, I kid. Drones and a prince is a pretty good combo. The drones dish out some mortal wounds. And the prince with a sword can add some rend and damage and wound saturation. Even better with a Glotkin giving +1 attack to all three of each drones attacks! But there isnt a LOT in the army that offers a massive knockout punch. Its a slow whittle of attrition and playing to objectives in the mission. @Hrudian Your army is beautiful! I LOVE the purple skin. VERY striking. Probably looks so ****** good on the tabletop. You should be very proud of that. Same with you, @Percivael!! I LOVE the magenta armor. It really POPS against the pallid skin. VERY eye catching. And that harbinger conversion is amazing!! I did very similar. Went with a harbinger/plaguedrone centaur type of monstrosity, using orghotts demonspew head and torso and fly body with some other maggoth lord pieces. The first picture is the most up to date. I like to smaller toungue and maggoth lord maws (placed where the fly's head was). I have since added more to the torso giving him more of a bulbous gut. will post pictures later when more progress is done. LOVING this nurgle hobby jam session we have going.!!!!

Percivael Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 @sal4m4nd3r Cheers! That's a great conversion - it's got a real sense of forward momentum! I can imagine it flying headlong into the enemy with a disturbing scream! I think Nurgle miniatures particularly lend themselves to creative conversions, which of course makes them great fun. I think they could be better on the table but, I have high hopes of battletome in the not too distant future, with the Nurgle Beast thing that has been teased.

underdog6750 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Could MSU style armies be a thing fr daemon players? I was just thinking with lots of opportunities to roll battleshock tests surely? Not sure how this rule translates into competitive matched play. As I know you need a summoning pool, would this contribute towards healing models back from the battleshock rolls?

I think you're spot on for what's on the horizon for AoS. I personally don't think it's a bad idea. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of rule shake ups coming down the pike.
