Typhus will foot slog up the board with zombies and the Lord will join the bikes. I need some advise on what could be made better.

I've experimented with lots of nurgle lists in the past, probably the easiest and most simple list to have fun with. I would suggest rethinking the daemon prince. A prince of nurgle is, imo, the worst one of all of them, and as much as i always want to include it in my list, its just so much worse than the other options, and not good enough to run for fluff reasons.
Also, you can only have 3 options for fast attack. Out of the bikes, daemons, and 2 heldrakes, id suggest losing the daemons. Then with you points you free up on that, put some more bikes in, and maybe 2 more plague marines in each of your rhinos (although i too run 7 PM's with the rhino).

Unless you're trying to hit a 2500 point threshhold, id say get rid of the prince and the daemons and see what kind of points you end up at, and then maybe just try and fill out 2000.
I've found, with CSM, that after 2000 points, id rather ally with daemons or necrons or something, because i dont think theres enough great units in the CSM codex to get you past 2000 pts.

Aside from all of that, looks like a fun list.

Thanks, after considering what you said, I agree with just about every thing. I have re-written my list, came out to 1994 pts.
I think I may buy some demons of Nurgle to ally with the army.

That list looks like it has a clearer idea in mind. Maybe meltabombs on one of the plague champs for 5 points, bring you up to 1999.

Daemon allies are pretty cool. I have a nurgle 2000 pt csm list that i do daemon allies with, but the allies are tzeench instead of nurgle. I tried to do a big fluffy list but having a herald of tzeench is just too strong, and pink horrors are amazing at holding objectives.
Also consider maybe looking at necrons, or tau for allies. They have really strong shooting abilities, and you could also paint them in a nurgly kind of way for a fun project.

Yeah I agree, the second list looks pretty solid.
