Total comes to 1997....any thoughts.. insight what to do / not to do...im still not very familiar with all the workings of the chaos.. so any help would be great.

2 things.

no sonic blasters on the noise marines? because if so I think you should remove the 1 cultist squad, that in my honest opinion doesn't seem to have a place in this list,and give the noise marines sonic blaster, then if there are extra points you can squeeze in cultists.

5 man Plague Marine squads? They will just die I'm afraid. 7 man squads are your best bet.

Give your MoN lord BBoS and Lightning Claw rather than black mace. Black Mace is not that effective on a lord as MEQ will still get a save.

Sonic blasters are a must on Noise Marines, taking them without them just seems a waste.

That cultist squad seems to be just to make up points? If that is so then the better plan would be either to get rid of something else and fill them out or get rid of them and fill something else out.
