Hello,
For quite some time I'd wanted to make a nurgle army with the GW miniatures (besides liking the look of it I also blame the professor's nurgle miniatures which I must admit are one of the best paintings around), but for fantasy battles I usually like to use non-GW miniatures and I must admit I avoid them as much as possible mainly due to cost and secondly to use my imagination as much as possible, instead of going with the flow.
But in last December I participated in a 40K tournament with a loaned army, it was fun but I enjoy most the painting part of the hobby, so I really had to do something, but didn't know what!
The problem with 40K is that is quite difficult to have miniatures from other ranges, although not impossible, and to have that dark-future-and-a-thousand-skulls look, so I really had to go to GW miniatures. But I really wanted to make something different, so I went to the old realms of chaos books for inspiration and liked the idea of using beastmen, which is something you don't usually see in 40K games unfortunately. I really couldn't afford buying beastmen and space marines in order to use just half of the boxes, so I've also bought some Forgeworld nurgle renegade torsos in order to use as much as possible of the boxes....
so... the renegade marine beastmen are composed of beastmen legs and heads and space marine torsos and guns, add a little greenstuff for patching up some details and voilá!

. Also I've painted the banner with a drawing from the realms of chaos books which I really appreciate
the next units will also be nurgle renegades, a nurgle daemon, a plague assault gun, followed by some nurgle trolls and ogres which I'm still waiting for them! I'll also complete the army with a slanesh mini force comprised of copplestone rockers, bikini girls with guns and an Andrea miniatures Daemon girl with wings!
The Army name will be Cripple bastards, and for the names of the units I'll use some gore-grind bands names, which is the second inspiration for the army theme
Hope you enjoy them!
