hey guys im planning on doing pure nurgle daemon army and for that i need lots of plaguebearers but the only problem with that is there expensive :/ was wondering if anyone know how to make some good plaguebearers cheaply

**Scarecrow456**

I saw one guys army who converted bloodletters into plague bearers. He painted the bodies green and then converted the heads to make them appropriate. It came out very well.

**kenshin620**

Well you could use non daemon products. GW ghouls with some GS look great

If you want to go cheaper then maybe mantics ghouls and zombies with GS could pass

**Bloodhorror**

I just used GW Zombies...

Worked Well

!

**kenshin620**

Hmm yes zombies too work well I hear. Some even say converting orcs with kroots

**Crystal-Maze**

I reckon the ghouls idea is the best if you wanted to use games workshop models.

If that isn't a pre-requisite then you might consider mantic ghouls - they look quite nice and they're a lot cheaper than GW models (especialy if you buy in bulk

GW just posted some Ghoul bearers in their blog like 2-3 days ago

Vampire counts Zombie horde box!!

I'd probably go with mantic games zombie command squad.

They look Nurgle-ish to begin with, and even come with the right things if you needed an icon or instrument of chaos. Although I don't know how much less it will cost you, what with shipping prices and which country you live in.

Like the idea of mixing the units with bloodletter and ghouls converted into plaguebearers but im not sure how to convert the zombies into plguebeaers :/

They looking awesome. Makes me want to start a nurgle army just so i can do that.

Whats the sword from?

**Unskul**

I used ghouls , but now afterwards I would have better used bloodletters because of the sword conversion ...

Ghouls don´t have swords

= more work .

Just a thought for you .

**heacy hitter**

WE dryads make good plaguebearers. Just paint them to look like rotten trees.

**jprp**

Does anyone make an actual demon model that is cheap (im aware of the Heresy model but they are not cheap).
Most of my plague bearers are conveted plastic Fimir and skeletons with the odd orc and zombie and some GW command models.
Link in sig.

I recommend bloodletters, but make sure some of them have a single eye. Also they tend to have a single horn on their heads

**Ralin Givens**

The sword is from the Marauder kit

**SnaleKing**

for the swords, if you can find some old, rusted nails (like I did) saw them into 1.5 or 2 inch segments, they make AWESOME plagueswords. And, they can actually give you tetanus! I mean, if the models can give you lockjaw, they should be devastating in the game! (Oh, I wish...)
