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
Gelgus Pust, Prince of Sores - From Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
Mulgoth the Cleaver (Lord of Blights?) - From Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
Shaman Foulhoof - From Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
The Cankerborn - From Warhammer Quest: Darkwater - Strangely classified as HEROES in Age of Sigmar!?
Units
Plaguebearers!
MORE Plaguebearers
Putrid Blightkings
Pusgoyle Blightlord
Pox-Wretches (and Mire Kelpies!) - From Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
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...
Blight Templars - These are from Warhammer Quest: Darkwater. There aren't rules for them, specifically... BUT it is suggested that they could be used as Putrid Blightkings... adding them to the two that come with Wurmspat (above) WOULD make a unit of five! I might need to rebase the Wurmspat at some point, though...
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
- 1x Belga the Cystwitch
- 5x Putrid Blight Kings
- 4x Pusgoyle Blightlords
- 10x Rotmire Creed...
- 2x Cankerborn
- 3x Blight Templars
- 8x Pestigors
- 1x Feculent Gnarlmaw
THE PLAN
The plan, as with all the other Age of Sigmar forces, was 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. Both of these I have done! Next is to add units as options to add to the Path to Glory force, and maybe build up to a 2000 point force - with options!
Now that Warhammer Quest: Darkwater has been released, finishing up enough of the nurgle forces to play that has kind of 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!
