Ahoy!
Just picked myself up my first box of Nurglings, and wow does it ever come with lots!
Being a broke musician I'm naturally wondering how many bases of Nurglings I can build with this kit in lieu of buying more.

So the question is how many "piles" of Nurglings would you find acceptable on each individual base, or would you be cheesed at your opponent skimping out like this?
I'm thinking each of the tall stacks accompanied by a couple of the individual nurglings to fill out the base.
Thoughts? Obviously for tournaments it's all dependent on TO's say, but I'm asking you folks for general opinions.

Thanks in advance!

You could probably reduce the number if you fluff them up with Green Stuff and other bits.

Some have them as giant piles of 30, others as small guys of 5. I'd say at least 5 to qualify as on swarm. If Crons and Nids can get away with it, why not Nurgles???

The old metal burgling kit gave ten individual nurglings to make three bases iirc, so i still have a few bases with 3/4 nurgelings on them of the old type. If you wanted to you can get away with spreading out that new plastic kit a lot!

I think as long as you have as many Nurglings as the base has wounds you should be fine.

Can't remember how many wounds they have, but that many (so 3 or 4) would be my preference.

Wicked thanks for the support people!
