I am making a semi-competitive Mono-Nurgle List and wanted some help. Please Let me know if this works:

CSM

HQ Lord - MoN, Bike, Sigil, PowerFist

Fast - Nurgle Bikers (2 + Champ) - MoN, 1 Plasma Gun (Lord in here)

HQ - Nurgle Sorc - MoN, Spell Familiar

Troop - Plague Marines (5+Champ) - 2 Plasmas, Rhino (Sorc in here)

Fast - 3 Spawn - MoN

Heavy - Maulerfiend

Heavy - 2 Obliterators - MoN

Helcult Formation

Elite - Helbrute - Plasma Cannon, Power Fist

Troop - 10 Cultists
Troop - 10 Cultists

Daemon Allies

HQ - Herald of Nurgle - Portalglyph

Troop - 10 Plaguebearers - Plague Banner

Fast - Plague Drones - Icon of Chaos

Comes in at 1493

My thoughts are, this army is pretty tough with the T6 and T5 units on the board. Plus the fearless Helcult formation moving up the middle. The Maulerfiend would follow the Plague Drones. While the Lord and Bikers would follow the Spawn.
The Oblits and Plague Marines would strike where needed. The Sorc is there for Psychic Phase.

Let me know if you think this list needs some tweaks. I was kind of happy with it.

Well you're lacking anti-air so theres that. At 1500 points you should expect a flier

I would drop the helbrute and an oblit for a heldrake. other than that it looks very similar to what i am going to run, other than no daemon allies and a nurgle daemon prince instead :p

**Robisagg**

Why not a nurgle soul grinder for some anti air?

**Opera**

You only have one troop for your CSM. The formation can't count towards that.

**Captyn_Bob**

Yeah, you need that 2 troop. Ditch the hellcult, take one unit of 20 cultists to be objective secured, keep the sorceror with them and they should be alright.

Up the spawn to 5
