Looks like a pretty good Nurgle-themed list. It would be helpful to know what army you will be facing, if you know it.

You might consider Veterans of the Long war for the Obliterators. It increases their leadership, which could be important, since they are in groups of two. If one dies, the other breaks into retreat quite easily with the standard LD 8.

I would use the remaining points to buff or extend the existing army. Switch out the Sigil for Aura of Dark Glory for a 4++ save on the biker lord. He's going to be hard to bring down with T6, 3+, 4++ and 3 wounds!

Add two more bikers, both with a specialist weapon. Melta may be a good choice for anti-vehicle with high mobility, or stick with Plasma. Flamers could be fun, too. They are cheap, and who doesn't like a little drive-by flaming?!

Put Dirge Casters on both Rhinos to help with overwatch as you use them for mobile cover to get the Plague Marines into position.

I think the above changes put you very close to 2k. If you have a few points left over, you could give a Gift of Mutation to the lord, or add a dozer blade or two to the rhinos so they ignore difficult terrain.

Good Luck!

I'd drop a biker and some zombies and take another heldrake. You could drop all of the bikers all together and run the bike lord with the spawn. You won't have to worry about getting down field because the drake(s) will be there turn two regardless (barring bad reserve rolls of course). I wouldn't worry about VotLW on the oblits, either. They're a tough nut to crack, and if you apply them right they'll get their damage done early and then it won't matter.
Something else you might consider is making the lord a termie lord and sticking him in a unit of oblits and dropping them in the enemy's face or rear. Give him something smashy to hit things with (mace, maybe) when the time comes and it will be total chaos (seems appropriate).
But yeah. Multidrake.

Why do you even need a 2nd hq besides typhus? Sharkvictim is right. U dont need bikers if you have spawns. U dont need biker lord if you dont use a bbos. Drop lord and bikers to get helturkey and bolsters your body count, upgrade rhino, meltabombs on champs. Or get a termicide unit to accompany typhus.
