alright...so here is my list
Mephiston
Corbulo
10 man assault squad with jump packs
10 man assault squad with jump packs
baal predator with flamestorm
5 vanguard vets-3 with dbl lightning claws-1 normal-sarge has Glaive encarmine
This totals around 1100

my friend runs something so evil...
he has 2 squads of Nurgle marines
a nurgle lord or something...has this ridiculous mace weapon that feths me up...some other independant
and a bunch of cultists....

So if anyone could help me out at all so I can prove to him I can beat him that would be awesome.

THANKS ALL!!! HAVE A DAKKADAKKA NGIHT

First off stop taking too many points of HQ at low points games.

Your flame storm is a good solution to the plague marines, but you shouldn't tailor your lists.

Take more assault marines instead of vanguard and sprinkle in some melta guns.

Consider a dread.

Vanguard are expensive, espically at that load out I have roughly the same guys modeled, 4 with LC's and sarg with power Axe with JP is 350 points I will be using them tomorrow for the second time in a 4k point game. at 1100 points they are too expensive, and not scoring. After that drop Meph and Corbulo those two have saved you 355 pts, throw in a basic Chaplain or basic libby depending if you want to go assault (Chappie) or ranged (libby). Put in some death company, see his lord and PM be evil then! Also Furioso dreads in pods are sublime.

I was told I need to use mephiston...I can drop the vanguard...but I really wanna try corbulo..plus It is gonna be an annihalation match. so yeah. idk what to switch the vanguards for though... DC or maybe more assault marines or tac squad. maybe devastators. I really don't know what to do. And I do have to tailor the list because I already know my opponent and what he has

Mephiston is one tough guy, I will give you that. He should be OK against regular Nurgle marines but he does tie up a lot of points. Corbulo is nice for his 2+ FNP but he can't have a jump pack which means in your current list there isn't a good group to put him with. You could drop the Vets for a 5-man group of assault marines, buy a Razorback, and run Corbulo in that group. I don't really care for it since it doesn't fit with most of the army but, besides a landraider and stormraven, BA transports are either 6 or 10.

One good option would be Vindicators. BA vindicators are fast so they can move 12" and fire. Their gun can ID nurgle marines so they get no armor or FNP saves. Run 2 of those will scare even nurgle players.

Try a regular librarian with a jump pack. It was said earlier and I'll say it again. Too many points on your HQ. Lose Mephiston. If you really want to keep the VV, lose the claws and give them each a power weapon. I run mine with a power weapon each, bolt pistols, and jump packs. With DoA and Heroic Intervention, they can mess some stuff up the turn they come in. For such a low point game though, I would drop them and use the points for another assault squad. I would lose Corbulo since he doesn't really fit in and save him for another game. I would add another Baal Pred with the flamestorm as that cannon is a marine killer fo sho. Take some special weapons in your assault squads. Since there's only 2 of them you need to give them all the punch you can.

I would say get assault cannons and possibly hb they hit really hard and don't have to worry about melta range.

Nirmal lib and normal priest will do.
more asm more melta for em too.

maybe a vindi to add some serious punch.
