So is a Chaos marine or chaos nurgle army doable?

Can anyone help me with tactics or a sample 500 point army list for either?

At 500 points you will suffer greatly because Plaquemarines are expensive and the Icon of Nurgle, for normal marinesquads, is so ridicously overcosted that a ten men strong squad with that icon almost reaches the cost of Plaquemarines without having fnp and fearless.

If you have a few more points to play with than Daemonprinces with the MoN and Plaquemarines are one of the better choices in the book.

1. Do Plague marines have the feel no pain rule?

2. Are there more models than just the bolter carrying plague marine? (special weapons and such)

3. Is there an equivalent of the +1T nurgle marines on the good guy side? (space marines)

1: Yes.
2: Yes.
3: No.

Plague Marines are around 25 points a man, so a 500 point list will be decidedly small, especially if you have an HQ. They're a great unit though, and in average sized games they're great.
