Essex is north of me - hence you're a northern monkey.
Goes for that London lot as well.

One of the websites I quoted above said it stemmed from around the 60s.
Plum Duff was about the 30s or 40s wasn't it?

hehehe, nice one fb! but serious, ebay is probably the best bet for models, or the guys at bbfigs.com (not a plug, i haven't even used them so...)
got to say the nurgle are a really tough team - sure you can't be tempted with humans or orcs? much better teams to get started with as they start with lots of skills and a fair few positionals which can really help out early on.
oh, and welcome to talk blood bowl

Not sure how much that helps - I am currently converting a Nurgle Team out of plastic Zombies and Beastmen and Metal Nurgle Lords (the one with the spear kind of weapon).
The Lords are kind of expensive and I had an old beast still in my bits box though.
