Advance with the line
Nurgle armies move slowly, and the Great Unclean One is no exception. Advance it with the Plaguebearers rather than ahead of them, so the enemy cannot surround it before your line arrives.
Watch for anti-large units and monster hunters. One huge model is an obvious target for missiles and spells, so keep it where your own infantry stops the enemy from reaching its sides and rear.
Recruitment pools
The Great Unclean One sits at the top end of Nurgle's recruitment buildings. Nurgle's buildings refill a recruitment pool on a cycle rather than offering instant purchase, so plan ahead before you need one in the field.
Ku'gath Plaguefather is a Legendary Lord who is himself a Great Unclean One, and the Exalted Great Unclean One is a lord type. Both are separate from this recruitable unit.
A slow, durable army
Plaguebearers form the line and Nurglings fill space around it. The Great Unclean One belongs inside the melee where its size matters, while Nurgle's flying units deal with enemies that try to stay out of reach.
Ku'gath, Tamurkhan and Epidemius each lead Nurgle campaigns with their own mechanics. The Glottkin are a Warriors of Chaos lord with a separate route to Nurgle daemons.
