This is just a list I made for a friend who just got a few daemons and was looking to start them up as mono nurgle.

The GUO and bearers sit in reserve and deep strike. The drones zoom up as far as possible and hide the icon. Then t2 the bearers come in and chain their icons together to get that slow GUO upfield and start smashing heads. The Grimoire is to up the save of the GUO if he is out of cover or to up the save of anything else when in cover (preferably drones or a DP). The portalglyph is for some backfield camping scoring models. The heralds are to give the bearers more durability since they will most likely be making a mad dash (or as fast as nurgle can go ) to enemy backfield objectives while the DPs drones and GUO draw the focus of the enemy. The Soul Grinder is to have a durable brick to sit backfield anddraw attention away from the portalglyph and take out any high VOF units from afar. The DPs are to do damage to as much as possible and to have a good counter to nasty double wraithknight lists, nidzillas, flying circus daemons etc.

I wouldent run a daemon list over 1500 and the grimoire without Fateweaver. Having said that, if you wanted to run a mono nurgle list at 1850 with that theme Id run something like this.

GUO lvl 2, greater, exalted

2 Heralds of nurgle, Loci of FnP

15 plaguebringers
16 plague bringers

5 plague drones w/ instrument

2 DP of nurgle armor, wings, lvl 3, 2 greater each

Soul grinder of nurgle with baleful torrent

1844.

Keeps the same theme I think you were trying for, I think. Also I wouldent DS my grimoire holder, that's just asking for issues.
