I've just been using Epi as a normal herald on a palanquin w/biomancy. GUO with biomancy 3 as well. Sometimes I won't have to iron arm my GUO, but there are lots of good spells in BM to help my guys out, especially adding FNP to my large squad of drones and a malediction to units already being tied down by large squads of PBs. Only big issue I've had so far is dealing with flyers.

Are the fliers particularly destructive - if not, then you can probably just ignore them, and focus on grabbing objectives + taking out enemy troopers
EDIT: Also just realised that you can have up to 6 MC's on the table at once if you ally with chaos, and have a DP lead them

They aren't too horrible. I was just ignoring them the past few games, only big harassment is the heldrake. Also, you can have all those and a heldrake. If you like nurgle you can have 12 (TWELVE) blight drones on top of that...
