What is an all-Nurgle force's main weakness? Well, there are two. One is that we have no shooting units apart from certain Daemonic Gifts, but that is a problem most daemonic forces face. Our main, unique problem, is that we are slow.Well we here at the Pus-Pit have found a solution.
Today, while re-reading some of the new codex, a thought struck me while examining the Chaos Furies. Here is a unit that has two stats better than a Plaguebearer, just one worse, and is Jump Infantry, while costing the same price as a Plaguebearer! The problem is that they are not Nurglesque right off the bat. They are described as basically gargoyles. However, who is to say there are not giant, daemonic bugs such as flies that serve Nurgle! These would fit right into our fluff, and give us a Fast Attack choice.
It just so happens that one of our most active community members, Dezartfox, is a sculptor and artist that has created giant flies for his Nurgle army in the past. He is currently working on creating casts, and might just be able to make some for us, the most loyal followers of Grandfather Nurgle! You can see some of his work here, visit his website here, and read more about the discussion regarding this here.
