Thanks in advance..

You have a lot of points wasted in upgrades.
The daemon prince solo will be singled out and destroyed, that is from my experiences fighting them and watching the games they are in when brought solo.
I also hate rhino's but here take a look at this.
Typhus: Deepstriking in with a pack of nurgle oblits

(Plague marine x10 with 2 plasma guns in a rhino) x2

(Nurgle Obliterator x3) x3

this could be very true.. moveing the DP behind the landraider tho to give it cover might help.. i was thinking about zombies but there expensive to buy and iam kinda limited on what i can buy a month..

i see nothing here that merits the use of a raider, the raider is not a tank hunter its a super awsome armored transport desingned to insert super aswome close comabat warriors into the squishy bits of an enemies formation and you have no super awsome close comabat warriors.

Add zombies many zombies and get rhinos for plague marines cultists are cheap online or you can corrupt a groop of guardsmen if you have any, remember they clb things to death with their guns so it dont matterwhat they are holding

your plague marines are all carring a plasma pistol WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS!!! plasmaguns are the same cost and do so much more

get nurgle spawn to tie up eniemies quickly or kill them outright

combat familier is not nessesary on a DP it makes me sad to see it

get another obliterator and mark them all

gift of mutations are a waste of points hey are too unreliable

Rhino's can help you out, but if you want to be really competitive, you can't give out first blood. And rhinos have the largest targets on them for first blood.
