Make a viable (and fun) list with out using the Fatebird og belalkor.
come on, i know you can do it!!
Oh,
fiiiiine. I was considering posting a Skarbrand list that had about 30 Flesh Hounds instead of Be'lakor, but I didn't like how little protection that list could give Skarbrand after he DSes in (since he's the most killy [non-Imperial Knight] character in the game, but slow and not too tough, so such a massive fire magnet), so felt compelled to bring in Be'lainvisibilitykor.
In any case, here is a viable, moderately competitive list without either Be'lakor or Fateweaver.
Phlegmatic Symptomatic
1750 points, Daemons CAD w/ Allied CSM
280 - Great Unclean One w/ ML3, 2x Greater Reward (Warlord) (DS Reserve)
100 - Herald of Nurgle w/ ML1, Exalted Reward (Grimoire)
109 - 11 Plaguebearers w/ Instrument (DS Reserve)
45 - 3 Nurgling Swarms
141 - 3 Plague Drones w/ Icon
335 - Daemon Prince of Nurgle w/ ML3, 2x Greater Reward, flight, armor
335 - Daemon Prince of Nurgle w/ ML3, 2x Greater Reward, flight, armor
Allied CSM
355 - Daemon Prince of Nurgle w/ ML3, spell familiar, Black Mace, wings, power armor
50 - 10 Cultists

The CSM Daemon Prince and Herald will probably roll on Malefic, for a shot at Cursed Earth and also to start summoning extra squads of Plaguebearers. The other Princes and the GUO will roll on Biomancy for as many Iron Arms as they can scrape together, with a 50% chance on each to get the power. Eternal Warrior and 4+ FNP from Endurance wouldn't go amiss, though!
The PBs will use their instrument to serve as a backup reserves roll for the GUO, and both they and the GUO will try to land next to the Plague Drones' icon. The Plague Drones will ideally be hidden behind cover for an excellent cover save, and have the mobility to get up the field as fast as they need for T2 DSers to come in.
Naming Convention: I call my Mono-Nurgle lists all some variation on "Phlegmatic (rhymes with -matic)." I opted for Symptomatic here because it has such a nice diseased ring to it.
