Mortarion is seen as very pale and skinny... did anyone find it funny that he should be serving Nurgle whose daemons are often fat and bloated? Does that mean Mortarion became like that? Because I remember no art that depicted him anything other than a pale and skinny Primarch.

Mortarion is pretty skeletal I think, search for his epic model and google and you'll find a pretty sterotypical grim reaper looking thing. I don't think he's that fat on the cover of Mortarion's Heart either.

well it makes sense to me, I mean what happens to corpses after they bloat? they decompose and become skeletal

Am I the only one thinking about a converted Nightbringer as a GUO? Could be awesome.

I feel that it would look too much like Mortarion then.... Nightbringer model already looks like Mortarion.

The Crusade of Fire supplementary book also has a daemon prince of Nurgle that's described as skeletal. So skeletal daemon princes for Nurgle don't seem to be that rare. ...GW needs to make more daemon prince models. There's like, one (that mostly looks Khorne-ish). And one forgeworld Nurgle model that's meant to be a unique character. Oh, and Belakar (who's a variation of the first daemon prince model anyways). It's just hard for me to imagine most Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh daemon princes looking like the current GW model.

Since he's a being of energy, I figure it's determined by how much Mortarion, is Mortarion. The princes and above are often describe to be like...an aspect of the greater god. I've always read between the lines that the Primarchs, kind of got to be themselves just twisted up a bunch.
