The units are to small so if you were playing somehin like kill points you would get decimated if you weren't smart , put them in units of ten and one unit of 5 for the plague marines keep one with 2 meltas and the other with a melta

Put the khorne beserkers in a unit of 15 and footslog it arcoss the board into assault , or a unit of ten and 5 then drive them both into assault in the rhino , drop the power fist in favour of a power weapon so you can cut own large numbers quick.

The daemon princes are fine , what were you planning on doing with the defilers?

Why do the Bezerkers have Plasma Guns? Doesnt make much sense. Maybe also it would also be better to combine them so that they can survive more hits if out in the open or stuck into combat Use rest of leftover points buffing the plagues

Btw-you cant give bezerkers plasma guns it has to be plasma pistols , drop them they are not worth the risk on a close combat unit , use the extra points like kenshin said

Thanks for the catch. Was going by memory there.

Defilers are there for their Ordnance weaponry.

EDIT: Plasma Pistols/Guns are for opening up transports to assault what is inside as well as plinking a few shots off at opponents (especially high toughness ones).

Yeah, I was torn between two Khorne Berzerker units or one big one. Essentially the whole army is meched as I want to get them engaged as soon as possible with an enemy.

A 5 man Berzerker squad will get slaughtered by almost anything, they're tough, but not that tough. I would put them into a single squad. Other than that, looks good.

Yeah, taking out a Plague Marine squad will open up additional slots for about 8 more marines altogether.
