So I was wondering if people would mind if I used nurglings as lesser deamons for CSM? Say what? 3 or 4 lil guys per small base? The reason for this is that well after readying the fluff about them on lexi I fell in love with the little guys. Plus I planned on putting a few here in there on my plague marines bases but for fun and flavor.

Sounds perfect to me. Any number on the small base makes a perfect lesser daemon.

So long as they are on small infantry bases its fine. People might argue that they aren't tall enough, but only in the most competative circles.

It should be fine. I was actually considering doing a similar thing with IG. Modeling an swarm of Penal Legion soldiers on a large base for a counts as Ogryn.

It would work, yeah.

Then have them standing on each others head's.

^I like that idea.
But yea... they'd get cover saves easily and don't have any shooting, so lose nothing from being out of line of sight.

So... even if modeled with all good intentions it's still an advantage gained from it.

Most don't have issues if it looks good, others will have issues, as an advantage is an advantage.

I have quite a few Nurgling bases and miss using them in games (codex:CSM strikes again).
In friendly games I had attempted to use the bases as "lesser daemon counts as",with mixed results,mostly due to base size (40mm) & wound tracking(5 nurglings per base x 4 bases).
I can also see where in "competitive" games how LOS & base size could become an issue.
So,until the re-instatenment of "God specific" daemons,I suppose my nurglings will continue to reside with in my army boxes.

Meh, just be creative modeling their bases and you won't have any problems at all. Rocks, treestumps, rubble and whatnot. I guess the only real issue is it might start looking rather contrived if you have to do it with a squad of 20 or so.
