When I bought a big Death Guard army recently I got about 200 nurglings in the deal. Since they are useless in a Death Guard army with the current rules, I thought to myself "Hey, these should be useable for something". After discussing this with some people (among them sandpeople and decker_cky) I think I'm going to use them as ghouls in a Vampire Counts army. Poisoned attacks and no musicians and standards sound about right. If I need a crypt ghast I can use the ghost-like guy to the right. I have a few from the same set, they're not GW, and I don't know who made them.
These guys are supposed to be finished, apart from base edges, varnish and static grass.  My plan is to buy the Collectors Chaos Sorcerer's and use them as vampires/necromancers. -------------------- Eight Chicky Bits, is that a Chicky Byte?

Great idea about using them as ghouls!
What will you use more than ghouls in your army? |

They're very cool! I would like to see their teeth and eyes picked out a little more, but I like their guts and wounds, and the guy on the far right at the front climbing out of the grounds is great!

Awesome
Care to enlighten us on what you'll use more? Will it be a nurgle army with count-as VC, or will it be a VC army with only nurglings as ghouls? -------------------- It's bestigor.
Not beasts, just best. |

Thanks guys (and the occasional Mum
 )!@sandpeople: I don't really know, I've never played either with or against VC before, so I don't know the army very well. @BeastMum: I'll see what I can do about that. @daftgor: I was thinking maybe spawn for varghulf. Anyone know what base size they are? @Migraine: I was thinking as much Nurgle as possible. Ideas that have been up is Warhounds as Dire Wolves, Warshrine as Corpse Cart, Chaos Knights as Blood Knights. We'll see when I learn a bit more about the army. Here is a test for zombie-nurglings. The picture isn't the best (middle of the night here). So we have Thraka green with either Sepia or Ogryn flesh, or Leviathan Purple and Ogryn flesh or Sepia. I'm not sure which of the purple one is which, they turned out pretty similar. Thoughts on which looks best?  Here are the first twenty. The need static grass, and a non-flash photo, but otherwise they're good.  -------------------- Eight Chicky Bits, is that a Chicky Byte?

Looks like it's gonna be an awesome sight, this army... Do you havea list as a first goal? Just so you know where to aim?
About the Nurgling Zombies (Zomblings/Nurgbies?) I say you should go for all kind of different colours, just keep them toned down, earthly colours... Should be alright, I think. Do you have a need for a epic/warmaster Great Unclean One, you know the really small guy? 'cause, I have one if you want it... EDIT: Oh, and I also have the nurglings that came with the old palanquin...could be used as something nice, I'm sure...  If you want them they're yours...

Thanks for the offer mate. Those palanquin bearers would be sweet to pull a corpse cart / warshrine.
I think I want to concentrate on one painting scheme. Here are better pics of the finished nurglings.   -------------------- Eight Chicky Bits, is that a Chicky Byte?

I like them, the zombie nurgling idea is very original

You should ahve random body parts on the ground to show they are rotting.
 Nice stuff so far! |
