Greetings!

One of the last units I need to complete for my Nurgle mortals army is a huge block of 25 marauders. And after taking a look at the models in the armybook and a closer look at the model sprues I'm not pleased at all.. I really don't like the models one bit. And I would hate spending all that time painting 25 of them. Therefore I've concluded I'll have to convert every last model

, or find a suitable replacement that will fit in with a few changes and the right paintjob..

Like I said, I really don't like the marauder models. I think their hugely oversized muscles and stances are poorly modelled, and so I don't want to base my conversions on the marauder models (like the Nurgle marauders in the armybook).

As an old fan of the Zombie regiment box, I've considered simply making the unit from zombies with their variaty of hand weapons and fitted with marauder shields (those are actually ok

) and then paint them in the same colours as the rest of my army..

I've already used zombie models as pulling "beasts" for my 2 nurgle chariots, so they wouldn't look totally out of place..

Anyways, what do you think of this idea? And also I'd love any other clever ideas of how to create the unit.

Thanks for reading!

Regards.
