Now, I'll say this, I've always liked Chaos Space Marines.

In fact, the only reason I originally got space marines was because I didn't realize that I in fact probably liked CSM better...

I considered buying the old Codex a while back... but decided not to as I knew it would be redone soon, and well... with all the new models out, and all the new stuff... and the fact that I can use most (all but say, my assault termies and dread.. which has an assault cannon) of my models if I convert...

So... first things first... if I was looking to start a new chaos space marine army... particularly one with a nurgle theme (not a nurgle army, but with nurgle being the patron god of the majority of my army)... what suggestions would you chaos folks have for me?

Oh, and also, are GW paints worth the cost? I haven't used them... but am thinking about changing paint companies... GW's stuff is expesnive... so, are they really worth it? If not... any other suggestions?
