I painted these guys a few weeks back just after the Shadow War Armageddon game box was released. This is the first Kill Team I have specifically painted for this game. I chose Nurgle as it is a mark of chaos I have never modeled for 40K so I thought it would be an interesting change. I made this choice before I even knew 8th edition was being released and well before I knew the new box would feature Death Guard.

| Chaos Marine Aspiring Champion with plasma pistol. This is the boss. |
 |
| Chaos Space Marine gunner with an auto-cannon. This guy is pretty cool but has yet to prove his worth in battle. |
 |
| Chaos Space Marine with bolt pistol and chainsword. Just your standard run of the mill close combat marine. |
 |
| Another Chaos Space Marine with bolt pistol and chainsword. For a campaign one of these guys would likely start as a gunner so that later on he can have a weapon upgrade. Chaos Marines are too expensive to add during a campaign in my opinion. |
 |
| Chaos Cultist. This guy is armed only with a knife even though he has some impressive mutations. Basic cannon fodder. I am getting the feeling that cultists are a liability rather than a benefit. |
 |
| Chaos Cultist 2. Even though this guy looks totally different in game terms he is just like the other guy. Both these models were built by rummaging through the bits box and sticking stuff together in interesting ways. |
These models are just some random stuff I pulled out of the dead lead pile. I actually have quite a bit of Chaos stuff. I swear this stuff breeds in the dark. I have enough additional models for weapon options as well as Specialists so I am sure there will be more items added to this collection.
In game terms this Kill Team is really not very good. The cultists make the force fragile. The lack of ranged weapons other than the auto-cannon means lots of movement. I need to paint a few models and try some different options to get a feel for this force.
