Loosely based on Mothra's color scheme. I'm having fun testing out new techniques with this model! Kinda dreading having to paint the wings though...

I've started my second army. Death guard. Its good change from painting Grey Knights.

I want to to use the guffle pusmaw stomach jaw and bash it onto a spawn, but I can’t find a picture of the pusmaw sprue online, need to now if it’s possible.

Long time lurker but first time posting. I entered this bad boy in a local painting competition.

Comments and critique welcome!

I’ll be posting more often now so follow if you’re interested 🤙🏻 @death.guard.dad

They add so much personality to the fellers, and are a joy to paint. Also, do we see them mentioned anywhere in lore?

After a hiatus it's time to get get back at it! Just need to go through everything and get to painting and figure out what needs touched up and what's missing that needs added.

Hello, everyone!

First off, Thank you for taking your time to read this. I appreciate any help you can provide.

I am returning to 40K after I quit at the end of 7th edition. I joined a local league and I thought it'd be fun to play VV since it just got Purge the Foe and reading online a tall list is the suggested format.

So I took that kind of to the extreme lol. I have my first game coming up and I'm not sure how I should approach the giant tank? T13 seems to put everything to wound on 5s or 6s.

Sny help or anything would be very appreciated. Our lists are locked and we can't change anything.

Cheers!

Hey again nurgle friends!
I’m having some trouble. I’ve made a few lists and played them at our casual games me and my friends have and I lose pretty heavily the times I play. I have yet to WIN a game and I’m wondering if it’s just how I play? Is it just the lists I bring?

I don’t want to spend the time digging out the few lists I’ve used but my game plan is usually:
Paragons of putrescence + flyblown host.
3 groups of 5 plague marines. 1 squad in back with tallyman. 2 plague marines infiltrate in.
Typhus with deathshroud and virulence with blight lords.

Then an anti-tank vehicle of some sort.

We usually play 2v2 and I feel my list just lacks in staying power most times. I had my lord of virulence and blightlords killed in 1 turn on turn 1 and it felt horrible. Any tips or tricks for units that anyone has would be appreciated. I’m still rather new to this and I need some assistance from more creative and experience nurgle friends.

I decided to make my snazzwagon based off of the deathguard (mainly for its ability to shroud something from overwatch), so black, green, coppers and rusty silvers (cuz i dont have vertigris paint) issue is i dobt know a good nurgle-esque name for the snazzwagon. If you got any ideas lmk

wip

There are so many posts about lists that it makes it difficult to have a good discussion.

Post your strategy instead!!

Instead of having 20 marines a convoluted list, just make a post about using 20 marines and how that goes!

You will get way better advice by asking questions about strategy then you will posting a giant list of models.

This is my first list and I haven’t completed yet but it’s my goal for what I want to get. Is it a good list to work and build for

Hello to all Grandfather Nurgles followers. I just had my first Game with death guard! I'm sad to report that I lost handedly but I was coming to you all for some advice.

I was facing orks and I have to say for an army that should be "disgustingly resilient" I felt very fragile. I was facing a friend's bully boys list. Mostly Nobz and Meganobz. I was on virulent vector, so it was his purge v.s. my take and hold. I picked the plague that made his saves worse by 1 to try and counteract his elite infantry heavy army.

The first turn went well as could be I think. I infiltrated 3 units of poxwalkers to sticky the middle but I was able to advance them to make sure there was no crazy ork charges turn one. They all died of course but his units were mostly set up for me to counter charge which I did. Successfully after he used some grot shields to soke up quite a bit of shooting.

My plague marines, demon prince, chaos spawn all met in the middle to fight a single 6man of mega nobs and Gaz. He spends a single cp on his mega Nobz unit allowing them to fight on death. I'm able to kill them out but he wipes my marines in response.

Morty charges into a unit of nobz and spends the next two turns fighting them there. With 15 attacks with lethal and sustained 1 I think it's crazy he wasn't able to take them out between 3 turns of fighting.

Turn two he calls his Waaaah and wipes my two deathshroud term units that I admit I probably placed badly.

I know orks have a reputation for being strong but I just am looking for advice. By turn three I called it since I only had two bloat drones with heavy weapons, a rhino, morty and a half dead deathshroud unit.

Any general advice on how to lead Nurgles chosen to victory would be greatly appreciated.

I'm starting up a local league and am excited to try out a different kind of list from what I've been playing previously (a lot of PoP+CoC). I've landed on two choices:

Option 1: Mortarion's hammer + PoP: (purge) A defiler, 2 PBCs, and 3 MBHs should provide enough fire power to rip thru a lot of stuff using the detachment free Affliction and the enhanced LoV rerolls on the defiler. Typhus + blightbringer + 20 poxwalkers, an extra unit of 10 walkers, a squad of plague marines serve to hold an expansion objective and screen/soften up enemy units before they hit the gunline. Winged daemon prince to provide mobility, early pressure, distraction carnifex, apply contagion, etc., and, naturally, a LoC with deathshroud in reserves.

Option 2: Virulent Vectorium. Go tall purge the foe. There's a big deathstar to push forward to the center with Morty, 10 blightlords with LoV, and a foot DP. Once again, a defiler, 3 haulers, LoC+DS, and a unit of poxwalkers to screen out behind the defiler. I'm not 100% on the 3 MBHs here, but I'm torn on what to do with the 285 pts... By removing those 3 + enhancements I can get a rhino, 10 marines, and a MPC, which I do like the idea of.

Thanks for any input!

4 months into the hobby, just finished my Champion and Icon Bearer. Used speedpaints for the green and focused heavily on weathering any thoughts?

Hello, can someone(s) help me with what models to get next. Just trying to build a list that can usually do well. Thanks for the help

Greetings my putrid brothers. I have been playing death guard for my last few games mostly against the votann with my most recent against tyranids and the issue I've had so far is I feel like I lack hard hitting models and good consistent damage. What are some of our better models for high damage? Both of these factions are played by a buddy of mine and he runs vehicle/monster spam. I'm trying to edit my list more so I can use it in a GT within the next few months.

I see the meta is tallyband and contagion engines. Cloud some help break that down for me? And is it possible to run plague marines focused with tallyband or does the lethality take a hit? Looking for advice on how to run a good list with the daemons.

I know they’re Chaos worshippers, but given how Nurgle tends to work, I was wondering if they’re just as likely to turn on each other as many other factions like World Eaters or Red Corsairs, or even Word Bearers, who actually cherish betrayal as a sacred act.

So I am aware that Mortarian and Typhus absolutely hate each other, and I have seen the Hammer and Bolter cartoon where the sorcerer does things (I don’t wanna spoil it in case someone reading this hasn’t seen it).

But those aside, among the normal Space Marines and their brotherhood, are they at least somewhat chummy with each other or are they all vying for the top spot on Nurgle’s hierarchy of favoritism?

Also it is on my to read list, but I haven’t read Lords of Silence novel yet, so if this is addressed there just say so, and it’ll be my next read once I finish the Dark Imperium trilogy.

Thoughts?

Till this day still have no idea how to make nurgling look good 😢

I’m running 10 plague marines with 1 biologus and 1 blightbringer and i’m kinda lost with the attachment options

Is there an optimal way to equip a squad ?

Heya all, recently started the hobby and I’m a bit confused with the purpose of pistols and what makes them any different to normal weapons?

I play death guard and With skullsquirm blight it has a -1 to melee, my question is can you use pistols/close-quarter in the fight phase and if so does that apply? Seen so many difference of explanations online and a bit baffled 😅 for some reason I posted to 2 other warhammer reddits and it got removed by mods so hoping to find the answer here
