So I have been given a challenge to take on Nurgle demons using my BA's or SM's.

This is the list I am facing


Epidemius

Flamers x9

Horrors x9

Plague bearers x14

Plague bearers x10
Noxious touch

Plague bearers x10
Noxious touch

Beasts of nurgle x3

Daemon prince mk nurgle
Flight,iron hide,unholy might,cloud of flies,noxious touch,breath of chaos

Daemon prince mk tzeentch
Flight,iron hide,unholy strength,master of sorcery,soul devourer,bolt of tzeentch,breath of chaos,boon of mutation

So I need to take out Epidemius stright away for that I am thinking of using Sternguard in drop pod but for that I will need another drop pod (in case I go first), Was thinking of using the hellfire rounds to put as many wounds on Epidemius if he is on his own, but I suspect he will be with Plague Bearers, so I was thinking of using combi flamers and heavy flamers to put as many wounds on them as possible. If I go first and he doesnt get his preferred wave then that screws my plan up a bit, I suspect he will want the Epidemius down on the table stright away but I would have to kill as many as his troops as possible (which I suspect will be in the second wave).

I also thinking of using Devastators 4 ML's for the deepstriking demons, frags to put as many wounds on them as possible while they are bunched up, or maybe a thunderfire as its cheaper but wont last long if he focus's on it.I want to kill his deepstriking flamers horrors as quick as possible as I think this is there weakest point?. For the Princes, what would you recommend, I have two Storm Talons and two Storm Ravens and a Aegis with Quad gun. And what would be the best load out, Tyhphoons on the storm raven or talon, Lascannons or plasmas on the Storm ravens hurricane bolters?. Would grounding him with a flyer then shooting him with Krak missiles and plasma be the best way to kll them?

I want to take some SM for a libby with Null Zone and i want to take BA's for Sang priests as thats pretty much the only saves I will get.

Do I start everything off in Rhinos? so he will only be able to kill limited things first turn? Or I do buy rhinos for everything and create a LOS blocking line of rhinos around my main force?

I have most units in either codex (no SC only Corbulo which I will probably use)

Help?

After talking with a mate I may have come up with quite a cheesy list, two skyshield platforms, they offer a 4++ which isnt a cover save, three hyperios launchers for those pesky Demon Princes, 2 or 3 devi squads with ML launchers 9 sternguard in drop pod with 2 HF and 7 flamers, if they get the drop right they can inflict a huge amount of hits on a deepstriking unit, he is running one unit of 14 plague bearers with no upgrades, I assume this is the meat shield for the Epidemius.

Skyshield gives me a 4++ and two sang priests give me 5++ FNP
