What to use for nurgle warriors?

no problem!

Actually in perusing these "classic" ones the Ox-roar mino at the bottom of this page...

looks like he'd be AWESOME as a chaos team mino. I like the straps and spikes on the left arm...the third horn is sweet as well. A simple ax-snip and he'd be ready.

I did that conversion years ago and I agree that he is very suitable for BB: http://www.bloodbowl.org/gallery/minotaur1.htm

Can I ask where this mini can be bought from?

That guy looks to be an old Great Unclean One (with greenstuffed helmet/shoulder pad) and it appears the parts are available from the GW Online Store (at least the U.S. site, anyway, don't know about the others):

Of course, it also looks like you'd be paying USD $40-50, plus shipping, to put all the parts together.

Looking further at what's available on the U.S. Classic Range page, it looks the the Palanquin Champion from the Palanquin of Nurgle would make a decent Nurgle Warrior with a couple weapon snips, too:

these look like they have potential - I'm reserving judgement until i see the entire sprue of options to see what is on offer and how easy it would be to then add extras / convert. On the face of it I'll probably use one as a beast though.....

Apparently the phpBB img tags don't like the php fields in the URL so it won't let me inline the image, but the link goes to a so-so picture that specifies them as plastic and shows the parts that will be on the sprue.

Thanks! Yes most useful....
Lots of potential conversion stuff there - good for chaos mutations - claw / extra arm / tentacles etc

The one in the middle of that photo looks perfect!

Can anyone supply the link to where you can buy it?

Those are Coming Soon figures from Games Workshop. I never saw an actual release date -- though I'd guess sometime this month, since they're being advertised already. But whenever that release date does pass, you'll be able to get them from any GW store, online or brick-and-mortar.

think WD mentioned September as the release date for the new chaos marine codex, so they'll probably be around then - dont think they are the first wave of releases though as plastic chaos marines / terminators and a mutation coversion kit were mentioned, but not spawn.
