Just trying to see from some other who have the codex already if there is any nurgle daemons that could help a death guard list. I know the great unclean one probably wouldn't be worth it but now that I can run 500 points of them I wanna at least give it a shot. I'm thinking just a cheap HQ some plaguebearers and maybe some nurglings and beasts of nurgle or something.

everything lost disgustingly resilient so most nurgle daemons are for the most part less survivable than your death guard already are.
10 plaguebearers are 150 points for W2 T5 5+/4+ (so 4+ vs. ranged)... I mean just bring plague marines right?
nurglings lost obsec and don't count towards obligatory choices for adding a patrol for example
GUO got T9 and there is a nasty melee build with corruption sword. But other than the 4+ daemon save no other survivability buffs (and they're over 300 points!)
Beasts are 80 points now, but are pretty tough and if you don't kill the whole model it heals fully every phase.
Soul grinders though are T9 marked nurgle, and can add some serious melee threat (shooting still "meh")
If you want to add nurgle daeamons, I think it'd be more of a "style pick" than a competitive one.

Sadly, the addition of Daemons will only weaken a Death Guard list - you have to pay CP for the privilege to bring units which are less durable, and which cannot help with Death Guard secondaries.

three months ago the advice would have been "save points to summon epidemious" but things have changed!

Ya I'm not sure pure deathguard needs help. They seem to do well in thier own codex, I think knight souping and demon souping will end up with a weaker list.
NOW if your looking for theme or center piece models I'd say buy what you like. If your looking to win games I'd say stay Pure DG.

Yeah after actually looking at the stat lines for nurgle demons it just seems like a poor choice. Kinda wanted nurglings since death guard has no forward deploy but since they don't count towards the troops slot of a patrol that's pretty lame.
