Mohojoe Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nurgle conversions are what keep me awake at night! I currently am trying to plan a demon prince shaped like a giant slug. Was thinking of using either the top half of a giant with a slug bottom half or using a Tyranid Trygon tail as the basis for the shape and going crazy with greenstuff!

If you have not already done, also look at the Skaven Abomination, and imagine the body without the legs. That might also be worth considering. Maybe even a Maggoth body with out the legs for a more curled upwards look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon prince is 60mm if memory serves? I dont think I could break up a maggoth lord, I really like the model haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohojoe Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Speaking as someone who hasn't had a chance to flick through a copy of the Generals Handbook yet (Returning to AoS after a 9 month gap), what penalties would I incur by taking Nurgle Daemons, Rotbringers and stuff from Tamurkhans horde, as opposed to Just Nurgle daemons? I hear lots of talk of battlelines and such but I am having a hard time theory crafting when I don't know the theory haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiky Norman Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well, you need a minimum of 2 Battleline units at 1000pts and 3 at 2000pts for instance. That means in terms of Nurgle Daemons you have to use Plaguebearers, as they are the only Nurgle Daemon choice there. If you want to go for Nurgle Mortals, then you have more options in Marauders, Chaos Knights, Chaos Warriors or even Putrid Blightkings, but the latter only if stay within the Nurgle Mortal allegiance, meaning all your units need to have the keywords Mortal and Nurgle. You could also go for Skavens Clan Pestilence and the Forgeworld Tamurkhans Horde. In terms of penalties for mixing units from Nurgle Daemons, Rotbringers etc. there really isn't one. You do loose some abilities to maximise your synergies between your units, if they all have wildly differing keywords, as some abilities only work on Nurgle Daemons for instance, but then others work on all Nurgle units. Another thing to think about is also Battallions and whether or not you wish to go for any of those. The Nurgle Daemon Tallyband battallion is pretty nice I think. So I go for that one as a core of the army, and then branch out from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
