I have the SC boxes for Nurgle daemons and Maggotkin, and was thinking of running some Clan Pestilens Skaven alongside them. I've heard mixed things about doing this, and I was wondering how I could best optimize this setup.

You'd want to run about 40 plague monks I imagine.

You take a big brick of plague monks, and maybe a priest or two for flavor. I don't recall the exact specifics of it, but the optimal route for Plague Monks in a Nurgle Army, is using the buffs from certain Daemons, command abilities and spells that can target Keyword: Nurgle units, thus allowing your daemons and so forth to buff up the Plague Monks.

Again, I don't recall the exact specifics but there's a spell/ability that can improve their melee profile, and another that can grant them Two wounds per model, until your next hero phase. On a relatively cheap, high-quantity unit, doubling their wounds is quite nasty indeed.

However. I don't know if these tricks are still possible, I don't play either armies so this information may be out of date.
