This page details every individual Nurgling model that Games Workshop have produced. Additionally I have included models that could be used to represent Nurglings without needing any conversion work, and also models that include Nurglings as part of their decoration (but note that these Nurglings are not separable without cutting up the models). Note that the images are not necessarily to scale with each other.
Models missing from this page: 4th release plastic Nurglings (4 Aug 2012); various 2017-2018 decorative Nurglings on Death Guard and Nurgle Daemon models

Other models suitable for use as Nurglings
 | Nurgle Classic Familiar
(1991)
073128/55 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin. The celebrated range of classic familiars includes a set of familiars for each of the four major Chaos Gods that are shaped like miniature Greater Daemons. So the Nurgle familiar looks like a small Great Unclean One, and could also be used as a large Nurgling.
|
 | Epic Great Unclean One
(1991)
076501/1 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin / Colin Dixon. The Epic range's Great Unclean One is large enough that it uses a 25mm base. This makes it much bigger then any other Nurgling model, but it would work well as an Inquisitor-scale Nurgling.
|
 | Epic Nurglings
(1991)
076501/4 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin / Colin Dixon. Included for the sake of completeness, the model produced for Nurglings in Epic-scale could never realistically be useful for modelling them in Warhammer Fantasy or Warhammer 40,000.
|
 | Epic Great Unclean One 2
(1992)
076501/16 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin / Colin Dixon. This second Great Unclean One model was a later addition to the Epic range. It is also large enough to require a 25mm base, and again might be used as an Inquisitor-scale Nurgling.
|
 | Warmaster Nurglings
99061201034 | Similar to the round-based model for Nurglings in Epic, there is an equivalent rectangular-based model for Nurglings in Warmaster.
|
Other Games Workshop models that include Nurglings
 | Tentacle Arm and Skull Head Nurgle Renegade
(1989)
070354/1 | Model designed by Michael Perry. There is a Nurgling nestling at the Nurgle Renegade's left foot.
|
 | Manikin Head Nurgle Renegade
(1989)
070354/2 | Model designed by Michael Perry. This model has a manikin as a personal chaos attribute, but with the appropriate painting, this could be used to represent a Nurgling instead.
You may wonder what a manikin is. Here's an explanatory description from Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness (1988), Personal Chaos Attributes, page 125:
"Most of the mutant's facial features atrophy and disappear, until only the mouth is functional. Meanwhile, a miniature body sprouts from the mutant's forehead or crown. This manikin torso is perfect in every detail, with its own arms, head and face. This miniature torso and head do all the talking for the mutant, and the lower mouth in the atrophied face is used only for eating."
|
 | Plaguebearer Head 1 Nurgle Renegade
(1989)
070354/4 | Model designed by Michael Perry. There is a Nurgling poking out of a hole in the Nurgle Renegade's belly.
|
 | Tube Head Nurgle Renegade
(1989)
070354/5 | Model designed by Michael Perry. There is a Nurgling sitting on the Nurgle Renegade's left shoulder.
|
 | Champion of Khorne with Manikin
(1989)
021912 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin. This model is a Champion of Khorne (identifiable by the technological weapon for a fantasy model) and has a manikin as a personal chaos attribute. However with the appropriate painting, this could be used to represent a Nurgling instead. The product code here is from the 1989 Retail Catalogue. This model last appears in the Winter 1990 Trade Catalogue as one of three figures in blister pack 073130/5 (on a page titled "Champions of Khorne").
|
 | Champion of Nurgle with Halberd
(1989)
073167/77 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin. There is a Nurgling sitting on the Nurgle Champion's left shoulder.
|
 | Palanquin of Nurgle bearers
073194/1
(1991) | Model designed by Michael Perry with Jes Goodwin. The entire piece is a line of Nurglings, stacked in a vertical mass. This is from the first release of the Palanquin of Nurgle, which includes two of these components used as supports for the platform (the second release of the palanquin is the model for Epidemius).
|
 | Palanquin of Nurgle throne back
(1991)
073194/3 | Model designed by Michael Perry with Jes Goodwin. There is one Nurgling sitting on the back of the throne, above the rider's left shoulder. There is also a second one poking its head around the left-hand side of the throne back.
|
 | Palanquin of Nurgle Chaos Champion with Sceptre
(1991)
073194/9 | Model designed by Michael Perry with Jes Goodwin. This is one of four different models that could be used as the rider of the Palanquin of Nurgle. There is a Nurgling sitting on the Chaos Champion's left shoulder.
|
 | Champion of Nurgle with Axe
(1991)
073201/113 | Model designed by Jes Goodwin with the Citadel Design Team. There is a Nurgling sitting on top of the Nurgle Champion's helmet, holding onto the horns.
|
 | Great Unclean One legs with Nurglings (1st release)
(1989)
073214/31 | Model designed by Aly Morrison. The first release of the figures for Greater Daemons were multi-part models with multiple versions of most body parts, each interchangeable. This allowed a great deal of flexibility in customising the models however you liked. These components that include modelled Nurglings are options for the legs and belly of a Great Unclean One.

|

(1991)
073226/5 | Model designed by Kev Adams. There is a Nurgling nestling at the Plaguebearer's right foot.

9947010208404 | Typhus is a Chaos Lord of the Death Guard Legion usable in Chaos Space Marine armies. There is a Nurgling sitting on Typhus' right knee.
|

|
 | Plaguebearer 2 (3rd release)
9947991500702 | Model designed by Aly Morrison. There is a Nurgling sitting on the Plaguebearer's right shoulder.
|
 | Nurgle's Rotter
99110999053?? | The Nurgle's Rotters are a Blood Bowl team consisting of followers of Nurgle (in fact Nurgle actually spectates in person at some of their games). This particular model is the only one decorated with a Nurgling. There is a Nurgling nestling at the Rotter's left foot.
|
 | Carnival of Chaos Henchman
99111101008?? | The Carnival of Chaos includes a variey of Nurgle followers. The turbanned henchman wielding a flail includes a Nurgling as decoration, standing next to his right foot.
|
 | Plague Cart
99111101009 | At least one of the windows (the rearmost panel visible in this image) has a Nurgling's bottom poking out of it. It is up to the painter to decide whether it is mooning, defecating, venting gas, or merely cooling an overheated rump.
|
 | Epidemius bearers left
(2008)
99119915029?? | Model designed by Aly Morrison. Epidemius, the Tallyman of Nurgle, is a Herald of Nurgle that rides on a palanquin borne by Nurglings. This is a redesign of the original Palanquin of Nurgle, and is liberally festooned with Nurglings. Epidemius himself is an oversized Plaguebearer, obese and maggot-ridden.
Three components make up the Nurgling bearers and the base of the throne. These are modelled as a solid mass that lift and carry the palanquin itself. Note that the two individual Nurgling models listed above form part of this section of the model: one balancing on the right tusk protruding from the throne base, and the other fitting into a gap in the front of the bearers on the right.
The throne back is then decorated with five more Nurglings, clinging to the scaffolding that supports the standards. There are several maggots squirming amongst them, and note that the banner pole that forms part of this component is topped with the severed head of a Plaguebearer.
(Component photos by Stelio, since component images are no longer available from the Games Workshop online store.)

 | Festus the Leechlord
(2012)
99800201009?? | Festus carries on his back a vat of organic matter. There is a large one-eyed Nurgling sitting on the right side of this, hoisting a severed leg into the pestilent brew.
