Nurgle Daemons are perfect for a new painter – They offer a ton of variety, but they’re very forgiving and take to Contrast paint very well.

We haven’t covered Nurgle forces in Age of Sigmar yet, but stay tuned for that. The Call of Archaon series for Age of Sigmar features several stories about the maggotkin of Nurgle, such as Blood and Plague and Beneath the Black thumb.įor more on Nurgle armies, check out Start Competing: Chaos Daemonsfor Warhammer 40k and Kill Team Tactics: Chaos Daemonsfor kill team.

These books focus on Guilliman’s battles against the Death Guard and Mortarion’s forces, but also feature several notable daemons, including Ku’Gath Plaguefather. Dark Imperium and Plague War by Guy Haley.If you want to read more about Nurgle and his followers, check out these books: They’re also incredibly gross, covered in boils, pustules, rotting flesh, and typically pictured with open abdomens and entrails spilling out. They’re all decomposing or rotting to some extent, but they’re also blessed with preternatural vitality and toughness, able to shrug off wounds that would fell a normal being. Nurgle’s daemons come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny nurglings to hulking Great Unclean Ones. While Nurgle’s focus is decay and ruin, Tzeentch works against Nurgle’s vision of decay and inevitability with his plots and schemes and focus on constant change rather than the reality that everything ends the same way. Nurgle’s chief enemy is Tzeentch, the god of change. Nurgle and his followers are known to be mirthful, and more Nurgle models have big toothy grins than any other faction. Although Nurgle is the god of death, he’s also the god of rebirth – where new life springs from the decay he brings. Nurgle is the third of the Chaos gods, and his followers are blessed with rotting flesh and bodies wracked by perpetual disease. Nurgle, or “Grandfather Nurgle” as he’s affectionately known by his followers, is the god of decay, disease, pestilence, plagues, and despair. With the release of Engine War we’re looking at the forces of the Chaos Daemons, and this instalment is dedicated to Grandfather Nurgle. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them.
