Some friends and I are planning to attend Adepticon again next year, and I want to make a nurgle themed Renegade IG army for it. This army will pretty much consist entirely of the Renegade IG from Forgeworld (think: masked heads, mixed armor and weapons, etc).

The problem is, I need my army to be lead by a Commissar Lord. I am having trouble finding, or imagining, a model suitable for this purpose. My first thought was the Nurgle Space Marine from FW (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/nurgsorc.htm) - I kind of like the idea of a lone Death Guard marine rallying the troops to his cause, but thought some people might object, since it is a space marine :/

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could use?

Use that marine as straken?

Consider a Death Korps Commisar all nurglified or even a DK rider on a nurgle horse thats be cool

since you already looked at Forge World...

Look at the Vraksian "Enforcer" models. You get 5 or so of them, and they're pretty nice models that go with the Cadian bodies. Also pretty easy to convert up if need be.

Or the Nurgle Sorceror could work, provided you shank some of his armor down to what would look acceptable for Carapace.

I'm currently working on this fellow and making him into a renegade kommisar:



Another idea would be to do this dude:



With some imagination and green stuff these guys would be the tits.

hmm have you seen the renegade comman squad?
you know the leaser in the awsome static pose?
hes got a chainsword instead of a hand?
if your modeling skills are good you could model a peaked cap on his head, maybe add a longcoat, and you have an awsome looking guy. if ure modelling isnt brilliant, you could just cannibalize a cap from commissar models. just saying my bit.

A scythe would make him nice and nurgly.

And a tattered cloak

I like the idea of the nurglified horseman...also the scythe written about later...maybe go for a sort of "death" themed model...the scythe the undead horse and a big black cloak...would look really cool...
