Ok, so tomorrow is a Halloween themed tournament. List must have a MC or something from the heavy support list.
HQ
DP wings Nurgle

Typhus(warlord)

Elites
Terminator Squad
3x termies power weapons and combi-meltas and VotLW
Landraider w/havoc

Troops
3x15 zombies
2x7 Plague marines with rhinos and Plasma gun each squad and VotLW


Plan is to run typhus and termies in land raider and push up the middle at cruising speed. I will use Rhinos on the flanks to protect the landraider while keeping the DP in swooping mode and vector strike light vehicles until I get grounded. I will then charge into melee. The zombies will hold close objectives and deny terrain to the opponent. Second turn I will hunt vehicles with the land raider after I dismount my terminators on the first squad I find in range.

I will dismount the plague marines on far objectives and try to hold those down while using the twin linked bolter from the rhinos to help provide a support by fire position and maybe create a cover save. Deny the middle ground and far objectives to the opponent, or contest them as plague marines are troop choices. I can also push rhinos in to hold objectives if needed.

I can also change typhus to my terminator lord with chain fist and combi-melta and change the 3 zombie squads to 3x10 cultist squads. Or I could dump a second HQ and change the DP to lvl 3 mastery, power armor, and BBoS and treat him like an expensive heldrake with psychic powers. I prefer to use the DP in Melee mode so I can maximize the 2+ jink that comes with being of Nurgle. Any input I would appreciate. I am not heavy on models. I have no Oblits. I do have a predator and defiler but at 1500 points I was not keen on bringing them and the DP.

DP of Nurgle with wings, black mace? Is black mace still good? Otherwise, BBoS as this nurgle prince flies around getting 2+ cover saves and blasting flame templates like a mini drake. And do not bother with the psychic because you have so few warp charges.

I would skip the LR to get more plague marines in rhinos since your termi are set up to deep strike suicide. Give some of them plague marines melta guns instead. If you do not have enough rhinos then prioritize the melta gun pm with rhinos as you could foot slog the plasma gun pm.

other wise I would ditch the termi all together and plop him down on a ADL with a quad gun utilizing his BS5 and have 15 plague zombies join him ready to shamble out to a nearby obj turn 5. There are not enough warp charges for you to do much with his psychic abilities.

If you wanted MC spam then Daemons is the way to go because you can have DP for heavy support with the corresponding HQ. FMC spam was viable in 6th ed but not so well in 7th.

I actually think the BBoS is a bad choice for the nurgle prince. You're reliant on the 2+ jink save to save your bacon, and that forces snapshots, thus rendering your expensive flamer useless. The Black mace is still a very killy option, as well as just running him without a relic and rolling on biomancy.
