I'm thinking of starting up a Nurgle Army shortly and just wondered what people considered would work better. So far the Only thing I have set in stone is three groups of seven Plague Marines with plasma guns and a Power Fist champion allied with Epidemius (Cause a 3+ FNP now would be nuts) and a flying Nurgle Daemon Prince or a Soul Grinder with Tongue. Some things I'm not too sure on is what else I could take. For HQs I'm torn between Typhus or a Nurgle Winged Daemon Prince from the CSM dex, granted they aren't as good as their Daemon counterparts but still aren't bad. If I take Typhus I feel like I should take a group of Nurgle Terminators (contemplated just giving them all Power Fists) and stick them in a Land Raider with possessed (or I guess DS them now cause the table is softer and they are resilient as hell now.) Another option I was looking at was Nurgle Bikers because T6 and I've heard bike units have also gotten better. As for heavy I really love my Obliterators but the idea of this list would be to get as many tally kills towards Epidemius's bonuses so I kind of thought Nurgle Havocs with Missile Launchers would fit this rather well. Just wanted some opinions on which combinations people would think would work better.

you'd be better off as Chaos Space Marines with a Daemons ally force.

This is roughly how it should look:

Typhus

Epidemius

Other Hqs if you want

5 termies MoN in raider w/ typhus

Plague Marines (lots of them!)

unit of plague bearers

anything else you want

Chaos Land Raiders only hold 5 Terminators.

You can't transport 5 + Typhus.

You also want to take Havocs with the Icon of Nurgle. They will up your kill count considerably faster.

I think it would be a shame to waste your only access to flyers. get a flying nurgle DP has a heavy support choice from codex daemons.
Typhus and a bunch of termies is a good idea. You might want a nice block of plague bearers to escort epidermus to avoid him getting snapped. I think you'll want at least a pair of plasma plague marine squads. You might also want to invest in some havocs with an icon of nurgle to get the tally up.

Well the idea of the Flyer was for the vector strike because the CSM Daemon Prince can't do it as it is for some unknown reason 'Jump Infantry'. The other option out of Daemons I would consider would be the Soul Grinder with Tongue as it's just better than the CSM defiler I think. As for the Terminators, would any one recommend DS'ing them instead of a Land Raider? Granted, the Land Raider would get them there a little safer/faster but it seems Terminators in general got a big buff, and Nurgle helps it even more so.
