Hey so Im am currently in the process of putting together a Nurgle army in readyness of the new Chaos dex/6ed.

So I want a badass daemon to lead the army. However, Im not sure what model to use. I have already crossed out the plastic Daemon Prince, Be'Lakor and Balrog because they dont fit the aesthetic Im after. I am not going to use
the Nurgle Daemon Prince becase, well, it looks rubbish. I have come up with two alternatives.

- Hill Troll Chieftain Buhrdur - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1500563a
He looks big, ugly and kinda bloated without being comical like the current Nurgle Prince. With a little Greenstuff I reckon he could look the part.

- Skaven Exalted Vermin Lord - http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer/Skaven/SKAVEN-EXALTED-VERMIN-LORD.html
Not exactly a green blob but I think a giant rat screams disease just as well. Plus then I could have little rats on the bases of my plague marines and it would tie together.

So, opinions? Which would be better? Do you have a differant alternative?

**rigeld2**

I like the Vermin Lord out of those two.

**Skippy**

Out of those two id choose the troll with some conversion work. Have you looked at forgeworld?

**Shinglepants**

Thanks for the reply guys.

I have checked out Forgeworld but I just dont like the look of the models. I want more than a greep blob looking thing.

Gentlemen.

Spoiler:

The original one, sans gentleman outfit.

**rigeld2**

But you've gotta use the gentleman's outfit... cause it's just awesome.

**pistolepete**

Id go with the skaven guy and put huge bat wings on him, and have slime dripping from his teeth. The troll model looks much smaller.

**dicewar**

Gentleman Nurgle makes me want to start a Chaos army!

Everyone loves Gentleman Deamon. I've actually been building a small list based on him, using zombies from Studio Miniatures.

Zombie Mobs for Plague Bearers, Tiny Terrors for Nurglings, and some of the not-Left-4-Dead miniatures for Bloodletters & those shooty Tzeench units.

Have you considered any of the Banelord models?

**Kroothawk**

Gentleman Jabba the Hut is probably the best, but there are other non-GW alternatives, e.g.
Ultraforge: http://www.ultraforgeminiatures.com/?page_id=27 , http://www.ultraforgeminiatures.com/?page_id=34
Warmachine (winged, non-blob): http://privateerpress.com/warmachine/gallery/cryx/warcasters/lich-lord-terminus

Guess you have seen this one: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/NURGLE-DAEMON-PRINCE-AND-HERALD.html

I've used that as the base of a Nurgle DP conversion:

**steelcult**

If its the two from GW I'd go with the Skaven.

Otherwise, The gentleman demon lord from Puppets War all the way.

Course, I don't take my gaming seriously at all.

**Shinglepants**

Thanks for all the replys peeps, I have lots to consider now.

Mine's based on Battle Brother Artemis from the Inquisitor range - takes a bit of work to chaosify him, but he's a bit bigger and substantially more dynamic than most of the alternatives
