You can't take Noise Marines as troops with an MoS sorc (shame, they're my favourite of all the cult troops), and 10 plague marines, while VERY tough, it's a case of putting all of your eggs in one basket; I would divide the plague marines into 3 groups of either 7 (fluffy and quite useful on the board) or 5 (a more cost effective way of playing them) with 2 plasma guns each and MAYBE a combi-plasma on the champions; plasma pistols aren't great and powerfists aren't worth it when plague knives poison on 4+. Also if you're dead set on running the Noise Marine parts, I'd have two squads of six with a blastmaster in each to keep the enemies away from objectives. As for the Sorcerer, take of MoS, give him another mastery level and put all rolls into Biomancy to create a nice little beatstick. I wouldn't have normal cultists if you've got Typhus; make them Plague Zombies, and without the autoguns/flamer you can add some more bodies. Nothing bad to say about the fast attack, pretty good set-up with the dual hellturkeys and 7-man bikers. I wouldn't have the tri-las predator, instead copy the loadout of your second predator. Obliterator is fine.

In short, sort out the noise marines, sorcerer, tri-las predator and make smaller groups of plague marines to cover the board in Nurgle's Rot.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take another shot at it after work tonight.

At 2000 points, you have the option of going double force orgs. If you wanted to make this list legal, move the sorcerer to the second org chart and add a CL with MoS to the primary org chart. But the CL on a bike and add some power to your bikers.

20 noise marines with sonic blasters marching up the board with fnp icon can salvo 2/3 and ignore cover.
