Should I take the sword or Malefic talons? Also if I take the talons can I just use green stuff since it doesnt come with a 2nd set?

Either take dual talons or sword + plague spewer (default build for the model). Both options are about equal, one is slightly more expensive but more flexible.

If you want a dual talons prince, just go with the regular daemon prince kit, since you really want wings on him.

Talons are good for light armor and down, sword is good for heavy armor and down.

My sword prince usually goes after big things, talons go for softer targets.

The talons are better against almost every target mathematically.

I take the Souleater on my Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, but only because it's a morathi model and the spear looks sweet.

Sword+Pague Spewer is better than talons against all targets, he just costs more.

Plague Spewer is well worth the cost. Since that FAQ change I've always included it and always makes it's points back - usually just from overwatch let alone harassing other units with it.

Remember...talons massively enhance your ability to trigger Death to the False emperor, and if you're using a Daemon Prince as your warlord with Eternal Hate or whatever (mortal wounds on '6's) you'll definitely want talons.

More dice = more bonus hits + more mortal wounds.

Two additional attacks isn't exactly "massively" and you can't get both the plague spitter and the Eternal Hate warlord trait, so there's no competition.

If your Daemon Prince is Death Guard, Sword+Spitter is a good alternative to talons. For all other three variants, dual talons is the best option.

+1 exactly this IMO

use corruption if you want use a sword on your Nurgle Dp, in others cases the double talons usually is the way to go.

Bingo. My Nurgle Demons DP always takes Corruption, its awesome. All the others have dual talons. Spewers just aren't worth 19 pts IMO
