Does anybody here plays prevalently daemons?

Maggotkin of Nurgle is my (not so) secret crush.

I would like to eventually start collecting them and I've been doing some army list building to see what a 2k army would look like.

Even though Rotbringers look dope, I find myself more interested in the daemonic side of the army.

A list that's been going through my mind would include Rottigus and a GUO with a host of reinforced plaguebearers and nurglins, leaning heavily into the recursion aspect (Nurglins ability, GUO ability, healing)

Does anybody have experience playing something similar? Is it underwhelming? Unfun?

Rough conversion idea for a chaos warrior aspiring champion.

So far I like it a lot, but I’m unsure about the weapon head. Going to trial some other hammer/maces. I’m also unsure what to do with his spare arm. I was thinking maybe he could be holding a nurgling or maybe his helmet. Any ideas or suggestions?

Some of my recent wips

Hiiii! Been a loooong time but I'm so glad to be back at painting desk. I gotta add blood on glue, few details and highlights on sword of the first demon. Once I finish at least 5 models, I'll work on their bases, rust and verdigris (too lazy to shake dirty down for just one model lol)

Glottkin from GW finally finished.

Been working on this monstrosity on and off for a few months now. Definitely the largest thing I’ve ever painted, it’s also by far the most colourful thing I’ve ever done.

First time playing Maggotkin of Nurgle, need list help.

I’m planning a Maggotkin of Nurgle army and need some help planning a list. Below is my current list being played in the “Tallyband of Nurgle.” I’m hoping to do more mortals than daemons but a little advice is appreciated.

Thoughts on this Spearhead?

I'd like to get into Maggotkin and wanted to start with Spearhead. I like the old Spearhead but I'm not a huge fan of Plaguebearers. Would it be a good idea to proxy them and the Spoilpox Scrivener for some Rotswords and a Lord of Plagues? The base sizes are the same and I don't think I'd be modeling for advantage or anything. For the Putrid Blightkings I'm also thinking of using the new sculpts with I like more. The Pusgoyle Blightlords are pretty much the only thing staying the same, I'm okay with them.

Of course the biggest downside is that I'd have to buy everything separately ($$$), but I'm willing to do that as the Spearhead's OOP anyways and that allows me to take it one box at a time and not get overwhelmed. But I'm interested to hear what you guys think, please leave any comments/concerns or things I didn't think of!

Ma latest work - Mulgoth the Cleaver

Hey there again 😊

This is my latest work, and also the first time I tried to paint a backdrop (somewhat failed there, as you can see it's very bland sadly), and the first time doing a resin pour (next time I'll definitely use just one drop of dye instead of two)

Overall I'm pretty pleased with the outcome

Let me know how you like it!

Also, any advice to improve myself is greatly appreciated ❤️
