I got a Valkyerie for Xmas I am a CSM player with a Nurgle themed army, I am just wondering what peoples thoughts are on how I could convert it to be a little more, nurgle. Any help is appreciated, and dont just say pustules, I know that, I wanted something else lol.

Thanks in advance,

Villescrubs

Mutated crew members fused to the controls? Plague missiles? Decaying hull?

Hmmm I like that idea thanks for that

Part of the hull plating decayed away to show dinosaur like rib bones

Just put the standard plague spew all over the hull.

Full demonic possession, with tentacles etc oozing from every door?

It does rather depend on what you'll be using it for - will it count-as something in the CSM codex (e.g. you could go conversion crazy and use it as the base for a Defiler), or is it just cute scenery?

It should look derlict and ready to fall apart at any moment. Dont go with the Ork patchwork style of vehicles, instead corrode it with a solvent or something (spray something that will dissolve the plastic strategically on areas to make it look like rust). Pus should also be leaking from it.

all great ideas, I just play with friends Im going to just say Chaos captured a valk and use it as that lol

I would not do standard postules and nurgle slime type stuff, it probably won't work on flyers.

Despite suspension of disbelief, aerodynamics and believability should still factor into you ideas, and a bloated valkerie would just be foolish.

i think that the idea of putting a hole or two in the hull and making a ribcage and and skeletal frame would be pretty sweet.

Also i think just doing some cracked paint and some demon-type faces around the guns would be cool. simple nurgle many times looks better than over converted nurgle.

EDIT:

I was thinking something like what this guy did on his deadnaught lascannons for the weapons on the valk.

Yea I have a few of those bits lying around from my land raider.

Why not convert it up to be a type of Blight Drone?

Here are some pics i found

Shouldnt tenticals coming out of it be a Tzneech thing. I Mean nurgle is just rot and decay so if anything it should be rusted and falling appart. I could see some people so sick and bloated that their bodies molded into the craft to keep it going but i think tenticals are a little off nurgle wise. Though I must say alot of people like the tenticals.
