Battle Fleet Gothic Plague Fleet Cruiser

My plan for my Warhammer 40k Chaos Space Marines army is to slowly get an army for every major faction. That of course means that I will at least need a small Battlefleet Gothic Contingent to match!

The first army I started building were the death guard, so my first specialized fleet would have to be a matching plague fleet.

This was my first time experimenting with doing the "disease texturing" with green stuff, and I think I learned a lot about it. Next time I would add more details to the plague bits on the broadsides, and make the bulges a little more pronounced.

I play this vessel as a Murder Class Cruiser with a Mark of Nurgle. Murder Class Cruiser's have strong port and starboard weapons batteries, and the Mark of Nurgle ups the Cruisers hits points from 8 to 9.

The additional hit point, means that a Plague ship can take 5 hits before it becomes crippled, and suffers a serious reduction in weapons fire. It is a huge advantage, and it is definitely worth having a few in your chaos fleet.
