'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-epidemius-en.pdf Epidemius]:''' (200pts)A Herald of Nurgle +1, with two more wounds and a Nurgling base's worth of extra attacks. It doesn't sound like much until you get to his Nurgle's Tallyman ability and realize he's the best force multiplier in the game. You keep a tally of how many models your Nurgle models killed, and as it rises, they get bonuses. How's that so great? Because it doesn't specify Nurgle Daemons, just Nurgle. So this guy buffs your Plague Monks, your Blightkings, Glottkin, the Maggoth Riders, Plague Drones, you name it. And since Nurgle has even a few fast hard hitters like Daemon Princes, those bonuses should start adding up fast.
*If you really want to stack up his bonus fast, bring a couple of Clan Pestilens Plague Claws. If the opponent isn't playing a super low-model count army, you'll rack up the model kills fast and apply it to your whole army before they even get to combat.

'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG-Rotigus.pdf Rotigus Rainfather]:''' (Behemoth, 340pts)Rotigus is the newly named version of the GUO. At 16 wounds and a 4+ save he's just as resilient as the normal GUO. He also retains the GUO's ability to deal out mortal wounds to units attacking him. Where he differs from the GUO is trading in his shooting attack for the ability "Streams of Brackish Filth." The ability targets each enemy unit within 6" and on a 4+ slaps them with D3 mortal wounds. Flying units only get hit on a 6+ however. Rotigus also has the "Deluge of Nurgle" unique spell (Casting value 7) which is essentially a more damaging and far-reaching version of the GUO's plague wind spell, allowing you to hit as many as 7 enemy units as long as they are visible to the caster. Regarding melee, he is slightly less effective than a standard GUO equipped with the Sword and flail but is still more than capable of holding his own.

'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG-Horticulous-slimux.pdf Horticulous Slimux]:''' (220pts) The head gardener of the greatfathers very own garden. Riding into battle on a giant plowing-snail called Mulch, he lops off the heads of trespassers with his giant shears while Mulch eats the rest with his slime-encrusted jaws.
3+ save 5" move and 8 wounds. He has 3 attacks with his '''Lopping Shears''' 3+, 3+, -1 and D3 damage. Mulch has D3 attacks with his jaws. 3+, 3+, -2 and 2 damage.
For abilities, he, of course, has '''Disgustingly Resilient''' but also '''Beast Handler''' which lets you reroll failed charge rolls and hit rolls of 1 for friendly '''Beasts of Nurgle''' units within the holy inches. Like the Poxbringer you can heal a wound off a '''Nurgle Daemon''' within 7" if anyone was killed in the preceding turn. Lastly, he has the ability '''Acidic Slime Trail''' which makes enemies within 3" take D3 mortal wounds on a 4+ when Slimux makes a retreat. He also lets you set up 1 free gnarlmaw once per game in your hero phase.
