Hello this will be my next big project that I will be working on
I going to be building a chaos daemon nurgle army based on the dreaded black plague.
Looking for ideas and/or conversion concepts to fill out my army.

Here is what I have planned out so far

Herald of Nurgle - riding a collect your dead type of wagon using a converted vampire counts corpse cart

Herald of nurgle - plague victim setting in rocking chair with either crows or rats around

beasts of nurgle - a collection of various bodies in mass grave style set up

plague bearers- imperial guard units with advanced signs of the black plague - boils, bleeding etc

nurglings - rat swarms

looking for suggestions on above and ideas for Demon Princes and great unclean ones along with any other unit in daemon book
Like I saw idea earlier for deamonettes that are nurses which I'll see if they fit in since I have a few of those lying around.
I will be posting pics of my work as i get further along with my project thanks for any help, advise, etc that you give.

I think Specialist Games made a dead guy cart a while back. There is also the Black Coach

Sure, but probably want to make it borne on the shoulders of others (like a palanquin).

Again, the only real obstacle here would be the look of mobility. It would have to be a heap of corpses that could move somehow as fast as a Beast in WH40k....

You will want to mix in some zombie parts from a zombie plastic WH box set. As diseases go, the outward signs of Bubonic were pretty tame. It will be hard to make them look like anything t really tired Guardsmen from a distance.

Easy to do: Skaven rat swarms.

Well, as for the Daemon Prince/HQ (Heralds), you can reference any of the Grim Repaer art of the period. There were reapers with scythes, with sickles, some covered in blood, some playing the piper and leading souls to hell. I think a really good set of conversions from the Tomb Kings' collection would look awesome as 'unit champions' (the models with daemonic instruments and noxious touch). For the HQ, you really can't go wrong with the suggested conversion of the C'Tan from White Dwarf. I wouldn't use the same wings though.

I agree with Corum the beast of nurgle will need some thouth from that idea to make it look mobile

How about taking something like say a plastic animal in a running pose and then getting heads and faces...shave them down so they are just the face and sculpting them on with greenstuff. I saw that on an obliterator. Could be an idea

This is where I saw the face idea . . .



Do let us know what actually goes on and see some piccies. Am eager to see this turn out

The more i think the more I realize that idea for beasts needs more work like the face idea.

Also realized for the khorne hounds could be advanced diseased dogs like in resident evil

I realize the fact that representng the black plague will be hard mostly plan on creating an advanced, worse version of the plague
like buboes all over the bodies and fairly large aka noticable that are bleeding etc

Looked at the imperial guard infantry and currently planning on usng Catachan Jungle Fighters as base for plaguebearers
they show more skin and look less troopy then the others.

Like the idea to use death with scythe just need to make it look cool and unique from all the others that are based on same concept it will be fun

I plan on picking up some of the models tonight.

You ever seen those pics of the surgeons with the bird-like gasmasks? I think you should make a couple of units like that. I'd paste a pic if i could but I'm on my phone right now. Will do it when i'm at my gf's house, if you'd like.

The plague doctors are an okay idea for a plague bearer but I really like what he had going with the person in the chair. Just something about that kinda creeps me out. If anything they would make great flamers if he wanted to put them in.

Never say die! Never surrender!

Awsome like the ideas keep them coming

The doctor pic and idea is a go found perfect starting model with a lttle converson will work wonders
It s the main dude on the crypt cart with extra frillies on cape removed and weapon changed pics coming as soon as I find my camera
so in a couple of days for sure. Currently working on ideas for beasts of nurgle not to thrilled about current model. maybe something involving
mass of bodies from corpse cart but we will see.
