This will be an all-comers list in a local tournament.
Lord with Spawns, Sorcerer either goes with him or the bikers.
Sorcerer rolls on Telepathy or maybe Biomancy, depending on the opponent.
Maulerfiends flank while the Hounds, Spawns and Bikes go down the middle and the Baledrake clears out threats.

The only question is how can I make the Nurgle herald useful? Right now he will be just camping an objective in cover with the Nurglings, acting as ablative wounds for one out of three of my OS units. I was wondering if making him ML 1 or getting a Herald of Tzeentch instead would be a better option, even if it is just the one additional Warp Charge for the Bike Sorcerer. Potentially I can use a ML1 Herald to summon more OS units too.

Thoughts?

Swap the daemons for khorne daemonkin. Use a gorepack for your bikes and hounds.

Yeah use Khorne Daemonkin, fearless on the flesh hounds is worth it even if you just take them from an allied detachment instead of from a Gorepack

Using Daemonkin:

I've lost one OS unit, and one ML from the Sorcerer and gained 2x5 Khornate Bikers with Shred HoW attacks and 10 Fearless Flesh Hounds with HoW and Preferred Enemy: Psykers.

The tournament is going to be a hybrid of Eternal War and Maelstorm.
Worth it?

That looks spot on to me.

you could maybe swap the sigil for the third level.

You could trim a couple of bikes

Meltaguns ok?
I kinda feel I lack anti-infantry.
Flamers?

The Heldrake is your best antiinfantry right now. Maybe flamers on one of the bikes- but I like Melta.

After some thought, I've changed this list a bit.
I've let go of the Sorcerer, bought a huge fire magnet and significantly improved the firepower, durability and mobility of my OS units by taking PMs instead. Counting the rhinos, I now have four OS with a variety of uses available. The combi-meltas on rhinos are for drop pods and such in my backfield.
Thoughts appreciated. Here goes:

CAD: Crimson Slaughter

Lord - LC&PF, MoN, Bike, 4++, Slaughterer's Horns, Daemonheart - 210pts.

7x Plague Marines - 2x plasmagun, champion combi-plasma + melta bombs, rhino with combi melta + dozer blade - 263pts.
7x Plague Marines - 2x plasmagun, champion combi-plasma + melta bombs, rhino with combi melta + dozer blade - 263pts.

5x Chaos Spawn - MoN - 180pts.
Heldrake - Baleflamer - 170pts.

Chaos Vindicator - Daemonic Possession, Combi Bolter, Dozer Blade - 145 pts.
Maulerfiend - 125pts.
Maulerfiend - 125pts.

A couple of tips from my experience:

Slaughterer's Horns on the Lord aren't really worth the points. The bike already grants Hammer of Wrath, and +1 Str to a unit with a PFist is kind of a waste.

Plague Marines are fine in groups of 5. The additional bodies don't add a lot.

I ran a similar list the other day. While it's not tournament-worthy, it is certainly a ton of fun:

CAD: Crimson Slaughter - 1498 pts.

HQs:
Lord - LC&PF, MoN, Bike, 4++, Blight Grenades, Daemonheart - 210pts.
Sorc - +2 Mastery, Familiar, Bike, Meltabombs - 145 pts

Troops:

Fast Attack:

I don't usually get a lot of mileage out of the Heldrake, so I leave him at home. I also prefer Bikers to Spawn, as you can see. I can also drop the Maulerfiends for 3 MoN Obliterators if I want more shooting.
