===Battleline===
*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-putridblightkings-en.pdf Putrid Blightkings]:''' (Mortal, Rotbringer, Min:5 max:20 140/500pts)The super-hardy infantry Glottkin gave us. Same profile as a Skullreaper but with one more Bravery and Wound (yes, 4 Wounds for each!) and an almost identical weapon. Their shtick? If they score a 6 To Hit, you don't hit once. You hit D6 times. Yes, they don't have Rend on those weapons, but with that many hits, you don't need it. Did we mention they are obscenely tough? There's not much else in the game that boasts 21 wounds with a 4+ save at the same point cost. Even more '''FUN*''', every unit within 3" of them (including themselves) rolls a D6 in your Hero Phase. On a 6, they take D3 mortal wounds. Unless that is, they have the Nurgle keyword, in which case they heal D3 wounds instead. Make sure you let multi-wound Nurgle stuff hug your Blightkings and you're golden. Also remember that this affects ''Nurgle'' units, not Mortal Nurgle. Chaos Lord of Nurgle? Great Unclean One? Plague Furnace? All of them can be healed by the aura these guys have. Generally though, unless you're counting on stacking auras with Blightkings and Nurgle's Rot, this is more of a gimmick. Just use these as powerful infantry, leave the healing to Festus. If even just half of your Blightkings make it into melee, they will earn back their cost and then some, so just make sure you get them there.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos-warscroll-plaguebearers-of-nurgle-en.pdf Plaguebearers of Nurgle]:''' (Deamon Min10, Max:30 110/300pts.) Basic Nurgle troop. Really hard to kill but not so good in melee (average of 0,33 damages). Take 30 in every unit to make them harder to be hit. Reroll 1s in save rolls with Daemon Heroes of Nurgle nearby, which makes them a fantastic bubble wrap for any of the Nurgle Heroes. Keep in mind they actually got a small price bump to 120 for 10. When taking them, remember you could have gotten twice that many Marauders.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Warriors_eng.pdf Chaos Warriors]:''' (STD Min5, Max:30 90pts.) We can't talk about the Maggotkin without talking about Nurgle-marked Chaos Warriors. The fact that you can get five of them for a measly 100 points makes them an incredibly effective Battleline unit. Toss in two such squads followed by a big blob of Blightkings, and you had your Battleline for 2000 points over and done with. Especially with the price bump that Plaguebearers have gotten, small squads of Chaos Warriors as backfield objective campers are a perfectly viable strategy. ''Additionally,'' if ran in a 25-30 man unit (they come in denominations of 5 for some reason), these guys can be strung across a field to make a giant wall of "fuck you". If hit by your Lord of Blight's command ability, this wall of warriors becomes significantly harder to hit (-1 to hit in CC and -2 to shoot, meaning if your enemy's gunline hits on 5's, your warriors are practically invisible to them, as they are now hitting on 7's). This is a viable tactic for bringing slower Blightkings and Maggotkin characters to your enemy's front line, as your blight kings are roughly the same height as a Warrior, and therefore most players won't argue that they can shoot between your warrior wall when also combined with the logic that the warriors are clouded by flies. However, this tactic is expensive and will cost you 620 points (30 warriors + Lord of Blights).

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls//aos_Chaos_Marauders_eng.pdf Chaos Marauders]:''' (STD Min20, Max:40 160pts.) When marked as Nurgle, these make a great Battleline unit for your purposes that alway make an 8" charge. Grab a big squad of them, add ''Blades of Putrefaction'' and watch them dish out a rather obscene amount of Mortal Wounds or just buff them with ''Fleshy Abundance'' to make into a hilariously tough tarpit. And if you really hate the models, you can always convert up some Poxwalkers.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG-Pusgoyle-blightlords.pdf Pusgoyle Blightlords]:''' (Conditional Battline: Lord of Afflictions as your general, Daemon, Mortal, Rotbringer, Min:2 max:12 190pts) To be quite honest, these don't really add much to basic Plague Drones. They are more expensive and are tougher, but while killier per model, they are less damaging point-for-point than Plague Drones. Honestly, their only saving grace is their ability to become Battleline, thus providing you with a frankly obscenely tough Battleline choice that moves quite fast for Nurgle's low standards.

=====Beasts Of Chaos=====
''Must be used in the Pestilent Throng battalion to be included without being allies''

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads//ENG_AoS_BeastsOfChaos_Gors.pdf Gors]:''' (Min:10 max:30 70/200pts)The first thing you notice is that Gors are pretty fast, pretty tough and not too killy to start out. gains +1 attack if the unit is +20 models. All in all, they're good. Either +4 melee save with shields or decently killy and still pretty survivable with two weapons. Though be advised that they painfully miss a spear-option, so while sizes of 20 to 30 are encouraged, never go beyond that, as you can never attack in two rows.

*'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-ungors-en.pdf Ungors]:''' (Min:10 max:40 60/200pts) Weaker Save than Gors and weaker size bonuses. The other redeeming factor to these guys is the fact that they can take spears, which let them fight in more rows.
**Nurgle already has good screening and objective sitters in the form of Plaguebearers, and Plague Monks fill the 2" range hammer horde role far better. I'd suggest skipping these. If you really want a goat horde for objective sitting, go with Gors instead.
