Hi. I always love the super heavy, be it titans, baneblade, stormlord, the goodies we all envy. But when it comes to Nurgle, what is the super heavy of choice?? As I mentioned in other threads, I have a stormlord, but is not easy to put it into my army of disease, i know it the lore, he has this Plaguereaper tank, but I don't think it has rule for a 100% legit game...
please help me outttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Probably wrong forum.
There are no Death Guard exclusive LOWs. But stuff like the fellblade seem like a good fit. The fellblade is also a fair proxy for a plaguereaper.
The only Nurgle LOW is skabiethrax, who is cool but way too many points to be honest.

I would recommend looking at the chaos knights and see if any take your fancy.

thank you!! The knight is a very good suggestion though still a light conversion is need and is not exactly off from GW or forge world shelf, but very good suggestion. If I can make conversion on a baneblade to make it into plaguereaper, can I use it in a 100% legit game, you see, the reason i keep banging on this 100% legit terms is that in case i play with strangers, they may not approved of all this wonderful but also sneaky deployment

So, for now, Nurgle knight, here we go!!

edit: scabeiathrax is a beast mate!! very cool, but I prefer something mechanical....

You can run a plaguey-d up Lord of skulls.

I do. Still rules as a daemon of Khorne, but he looks the part.

FW has rules for traitor guard - I think they have access to baneblade chassis tanks as part of their list.

The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts
GSC - about 2000 Pts
Rhulic Mercs - um...many...
Circle Oroboros - 300 Pts or so
Menoth - 300+ pts

The Forge World Renegades and Heretics get access to the Macharius-chassis vehicles and the Baneblade.

The Baneblade is fantastic, while the Macharius vehicles are... less so, but also cheaper. The Baneblade can easily serve as a counter-charge unit, while having excellent firepower, meaning it can be a good anchor for the fire support portion of a 2k army. In fact, depending on the rest of army composition and strategy, it could be an excellent firebase by itself, though it suffers a bit from having to choose its targets all at once rather than being able to see the effects of its shooting on a target before allocating more shooting, like 3 Leman Russes could do for a similar price.

Interesting suggestion. would the stat and rule be in the I presume chaos codex?? and can I possibly field stormlord instead of a baneblade cause I really like that tank!!

Sadly, the Stormlord is not present in the Renegades and Heretics list.

That said, I'd let you use it myself, because it really should be. And it is an awesome tank.

I have a converted Nurgle knight as a work-in-progress - I'll take some photos and upload them soon.

it seems rather arbitrary that the Stormlord isn't available for heretics. But that being said most people would probably be fine with you using it. But with some work the kit can be built in a way that you can swap between baneblade or stormlord pretty easily, top half off hull just slides off and can be replaced. i did so myself. So if you run into a player who takes issue with it you can swap to the baneblade.
