(Was thinking Tzeentch would be a technically more tactically sound choice, but may take Nurgle simply to stay in line with the Nurgle theme of the army!! )

Chaos Lord - Mark of Nurgle, Gift of Mutation Black Mace - 135

(Taking the black mace purely for fluffy reasons - though I understand it may not be the best use of points tactically)

Helldrake-170

9x plague marines- 2x meltagun - 236

30x Cultists - 130

Rhino - 35

1001

Any advice is welcome

two boxes of bikes (6 bikes) will run you about the same price as a Heldrake.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588765/6707711.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588765/6707711.page GMT Starting a Nurgle Army - 1000pts SM bikes, I used to run a squad of three with two flamers for 90 points, so cheap and was a great distraction unit

I should have pointed out, I'm using alternative models to GW as much as possible, so a Heldrake I can do a little cheaper, bikes seem to be quite expensive anywhere!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588765/6710415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588765/6710415.page GMT Starting a Nurgle Army - 1000pts
1) As you said, the Daemon Prince wasn't worth his points - so I'm going to shave him down, but I don't want to get rid of him completely because he did do quite a lot

2) The Heldrake did nothing. It was useless. So I think I'll probably cut that for the time being

3) The black mace on The Lord actually did quite a bit!! Killed two squads in consecutive turns from close combat alone

4) Cultists didn't do anything of use whatsoever - they just held up a couple of squads for a few turns, good distraction, but not worth the time

So I now have about 375 points to play with!!

Bikes will be top choice and another squad of plague marines - so thanks for the advice!!
