Ahhh Demons. Yeah I will admit that I have not purchased that codex, or even the generic CSM codex yet. At this point I am focusing on just getting 2k worth of DG on the table, then slowly expanding out. Next will be the CSM codex, because I think I am going to need access to some flyers and warp time

They don't have a codex yet, but yeah the DG codex has nurgle daemon rules in it and the index has the other daemon rules. They can take banners and musical instruments (hold overs from fantasy when command units had musicians to help with morale), and the instruments didn't do anything in 40k until now - they give you +1 to advance and charge.

Re-reading the codex....Nurglings are actually pretty damn good considering how slow the army overall is.

Army is progressing well, despite GW’s infuriating refusal to release blight haulers. For the time being per suggestions here I am using some blight drones for “counts as” to test my setup.
One thing that still vexes me is the lack of a Death Guard themed Chaos Lord (which is far and away the DG’s cheapest leader) and I am nothing if not obsessive over how my guys look. Anyone have a good suggestion on this? The actual infantry is damn hard to convincingly kit bash because the normal models are so well done, so I’m probably looking for more of a “counts as” here. Worst case I suppose I could designate a specific model of champion (there are 3 floating around for DG) but if there is a good unique option I’d like to take it.

Try mashing some pox walker stuff with a chaos kit of your choosing to show nurgle's mutations, and maybe some guts spilling out of the belly portion because chaos. There's a photo from the 7th edition chaos codex I've always thought was iconic, where a nurgle chaos lord is striding forward with a flail.

What about some of the AoS guys? or They're unique compared to the rest of the DG models, and could be converted pretty easily just by slapping a backpack on there and maybe some techno gubbins to make the weapons look like power weapons, maybe add a shoulder pad to the naked guy up there, something like that. They're roughly terminator sized, the bases they come on are 40mm for size comparison. I actually have a spare of the guy up top if you want it, on the house.

How do these guys compare size wise to a primaris Space Marine?

They are smaller. These guys are about the size of regular space marines

Not ideal, but not awful, I can add some stuff to em...

They're larger than space marines - they're the same size as the nurgle rotbringers, and come on 40mm bases, so they're roughly terminator sized.
