I'm more of a 40k player, but I have played WFB on and off (mostly off) since 3rd edition. I have not yet played the most recent edition of the rules, but the bug is biting me again. Thus I'm in the process of repainting and rebuilding my old Nurgle Chaos army.

I've got a decent sized collection of WFB models. Right now I'm working on bringing the following models up to my current painting and basing standard:
-Chaos lord on Palaquin of Nurgle
-Enough Nurgle champion and sorceror figures to fill up the heros slots twice over.
-60+ Chaos Warriors. (with a variety of weapons...I'll just put the apropriate armed figures in the front ranks when I build my units)
-6 chaos knights (all the old Marauder Miniatures figures, so are armed with hand weapons rather than lances.)
-about 30 older edition Imperial flagelants. The 3rd edition Nurgle list has units of "diseased flagelants" so these might make an interesting stand in for marauders with flails when painted correctly.
-About 30 figures from a mixture of the old Chaos Thug and Norse ranges. Once again these have a variety of weapons, so I'll just place the correct ones in the front ranks.
-More trolls than I could possibly field borrowed from my Orc army.
-A Plague Cart that will make a great war shrine. (real Plague carts were an option under the 3rd ed list, so it keeps with my theme)
-I've also got a fair number of old ogre figures, but to be honest I actually like the new "chaos ogre" figures and might be buying some of them if I decide to field ogres.

So how would you compose a 2250 pnt army out of this mob? Keep in mind the following thing though: I'm a tradionalist and do not believe in mixing marks in an army. Thus any units I use will either be Nurlgeor unmarked.

I hav only skimmed through the most recent rule set and WoC army book, which is why I am asking for advice.

Finally, here is what the core of this army will end up looking like:

Thanks in advance.

One of the more defining things is the character line-up. I'd advise you to take a Nurgle sorcerer lord to use as your big guy as footslogging chaos lord doesn't really contribute that much to the game. If you go infantry heavy, definetly take a bsb. Couple of spawns to support the guys isn't a bad choice either.
