Age of Sigmar - Maggotkin of Nurgle

I did not have a lot of things for the Maggotkin of Nurgle... It all started with Wurmspat - the Warhammer Underworlds Warband... and for a long time, that was it... 

Then, on a whim,  I decided to pick up a Lord of Plagues... I thought maybe they could be used in Soulbound (the role-playing game) as some encounter in a nasty foetid swamp in Ghyran...? 

I later added a unit of Plaguebearers... Also with Soulbound in mind.

Then I picked up a Maggotkin of Nurgle Bleak Host Spearhead force... 

Then for Tanksgiving in 2025 I picked up a Great Unclean One - and while I was at it, picked up the Shudderblight Cyst Battleforce Box... 

And then there was Warhammer Quest: Darkwater...


PAINTED


ALL the stuff I have painted for the Maggotkin of Nurgle... 


Heroes


Great Unclean One - Greater Daemon of Nurgle


Lord of Plagues


Spoilpox Scrivener 


Lord of Afflictions


Units

Plaguebearers! 


MORE Plaguebearers


Putrid Blightkings


Pusgoyle Blightlord


Legends


Wurmspat - one of my favourite Warhammer Underworlds warbands. The Warhammer Underworlds warbands, which used to be playable in Age of Sigmar, are kind of being phased out in this edition and joining "Legends". There are stats available for them - as a pdf download - but they're not really playable in matched play or other organized play... 


A pair of cheeky little Nurglings... They're aren't really rules for these... they're just for fun.. 


Still to Do

Things I still have to do..

  • 1x Harbinger of Decay
  • 1x Sloppity Bilepiper
  • 5x Putrid Blight Kings
  • 4x Pusgoyle Blightlords
  • 10x Rotmire Creed... 
  • 1x Feculent Gnarlmaw

(until Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is released... then I'll have a BUNCH more Nurgle stuff to assemble and paint!?). 


THE PLAN

The plan, as with all the other Age of Sigmar forces, is to first finish the Spearhead, so I have something to play with... then possibly fill out a 1000 point army for regular Age of Sigmar/Paths to Glory. 

Whenever Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is released, finishing up enough of the nurgle forces to play will become priority #1. 


SPEARHEAD

As with most Age of Sigmar armies, the first step is to paint up the stuff for a Spearhead army. 

Bleak Host


The Spearhead Army, so far... just need to finish the Pussygoyle Blightlords

The Maggotkin of Nurgle Bleak Host Spearhead force includes:

  • 1x Spoilpox Scrivener (General)   - Done! 
  • 1x Pusgoyle Blightlord  - Done! 
  • 1x Pusgoyle Blightlord  - Done! 
  • 5x Putrid Blightkings  - Done! 
  • 5x Plaguebearers - Done! 
  • 5x Plaguebearers - Done! 


Bubonic Cell

A new Spearhead force for the Maggotkin of Nurgle to be released with the Fourth Edition Battletome. I don't have this, but I'll probably pick one up in 2026 sometime - just to have the models. 

  • The Maggotkin of Nurgle Bubonic Cell Spearhead force includes:
  • 1x Rotbringer Sorcerer (General) 
  • 10x Rotmire Creed 
  • 1x Beast of Nurgle
  • 3x Nurglings
  • 3x Nurglings


PATH TO GLORY

The next step would be putting together enough for a Path to Glory force... Done! 

Path to Glory - Ascension - Methervale Campaign

This is the force that I started the Path to Glory - Methervale Campaign with! 

Lord of Aflictions' General's Regiment

  • Hero - Lord of Afflictions (1) 170 - Any Plague Drones, Any Pusgoyle Blightlords
  • Unit - Pusgoyle Blightlords (1) 130 - Rotbringers, Cavalry

Rotbringer Regiment

  • Hero -  Rotbringer Sorcerer (1) 110 (-10) 0-1 Rotbringer Lord, Any Rotbringers
  • Unit - Putrid Blightkings (5) 190 - Rotbringers, Infantry

Nurgle Daemon Regiment

  • Hero - Spoilpox Scrivener, Herald of Nurgle (1)  80 - Any Daemon
  • Unit - Plaguebearers (10) 140 -  Daemon, Infantry
  • Unit - Plaguebearers (10) 140 -  Daemon, Infantry

Total: 960 points?! 


Path to Glory - Blighted Wilds

The new Path to Glory book being released in December 2025 - I'm sure this will be the focus of much Path to Glory campaigning in 2026!


Everything, So far..

The entire Nurgle Army, so far... 

Rotbringer Sorcerer-General's Regiment

STUFF TO GET

No... I do not...

Would not mind getting a SECOND Great Unclean One.
