So I've gradually collected a lot of these models (the greater possessed I'd use the gellerpox infected nightmare hulks with vulgar being the one with the ritualist warlord trait) and wouldn't actually need a whole lot to complete this list.
This would be very different from how I previously ran nurgle with my cthulhu daemons but different is good right? (and I need ONE daemon list which isn't all greater daemons...lol)
The daemon prince COULD be dropped in favour of a Master of possessions, giving me 70 free points, to combo better with the ritualists detachment (so I could use the vessels of the neverborn strat but really that's one greater possessed) and would give him the beatstick rod (+3 strength, AP-1 D3 damage) .... but the MOP is not really that great in combat compared the prince, and for his spells to be usable (ie: cursed earth and the +1 to hit/wound) it slows down the greater possessed, whereas the prince can keep up, is MUCH harder to kill, and actually does damage. (ie: with diabolic strength / greater possessed range he's a 9 wound character with a 3+/4++ who regains D3 wounds a turn, is strength TEN with nine attacks on the charge at -2/2 damage.
plus what the hell would I add with a measly 70 points?
