Just brainstorming some ideas for something other than Death Guard.

HQ- Chaos Lord+Mark of Khorne+Daemon Weapon (Bloodfeeder)= 140 pts.

Troops- 5-man unit of Bezerkers+Rhino w/ Extra Armor. (The Lord is deployed and attached to this unit.)

Troops- 7-man unit of Bezerkers+Skull Champion w/ Power Weapon+Rhino w/ Extra Armor= 227 pts.

Troops- 7-man unit of Berzerkers+Skull Champion w/ Power Weapon+Rhino w/ Extra Armor= 227 pts.

Total:749

I gave the Rhinos extra armor because early in the game the Rhinos will be the only thing to shoot at. As I have said before, the Lord (which can have up to 16 attacks with a Bloodfeeder, SQUEEE!) is riding with the 5-man squad of Zerkers. After all my Berzerkers disembark they will be used to Tank Shock and will be used as cover against Heavy/Assault Weapons, or anything else that could be particularly nasty.

What do you guys think?

There are a couple of problems with this list I foresee: complete lack of ranged weapons, and a lord who will die to a fist. Suggestions:
Beef up the 7-man units a bit, get rid of the 5-man unit and rhino. instead, get a pair of obliterators, and give the commander terminator armour and give one of the squads (or both) a personal icon (either that, or take a daemon prince, but you seem to like the bloodfeeder, so...). then just deep strike him down while the 'zerkers are in combat, and kill the hell out of everything.
one thing to keep in mind: rhinos count as scoring units, as they are troops choices. so they can take objectives if need be. Unless I'm horribly mistaken.

They aren't a troops choice, as specifically said in the codex, but are otherwise treated as troops.

Vehicles cannot hold objectives, regardless of if they are bought for a "troops" choice or not. (Except for maybe Ravenwing Landspeeders depending on how you interpret the DA codex vs the rulebook.)

Anyway, as for your list, I would drop the Lord (and the bloodfeeder is so-so compared to lightning claws anyway) and instead take 2 winged khorne demon princes, with 2 squads of rhino 'zerkers. Extra armor is a waste of points, because it eliminates the most attractive feature of the rhino, it's cheap point cost. 2 flying monstrous creatures will be very scary at such a low points limit, and will mitigate your lack of anti-tank.

Much stronger list, with fluffy favored number squads.

Whitedragons right about the 2 MCs in such a small game.
Thats 4 targets an opponent is choosing between each shooting turn, each able to move 12inch per turn.

Updated list, I really want to stay away from a DP for now, when I expand the army I will probably add him, but for now I like the bloodfeeder.

Khorne Lord with Termie armor, Daemon Weapon, MoK

Two Zerker squads, 7 guys, 1 champ, rhino

One 2-man Oblits squad.

eh???

If you're insisting on a Khorne Lord, at least keep him in power armor so he can ride with the berzerkers in the rhino. A rhino cannot transport demons or models in terminator armor.

I will DS him, I forgot to write that I'm givin my zerkers Personal Icons.

That is an even worse idea really, because he's not guaranteed to show up when you need him, and when he does, he wastes a further turn because he can't assault after deepstriking. That coupled with his T4 means he will most likey be insta-killed by a stray lascannon the second he lands.

Hmmm...

Ok...
