Looks like a fun list'; nothing groundbreaking, but just a solid tube of nurgley goodness. Typhus can guard the backfield with zombies, or run with the spawn to get into combat on the quick.

I recommend adding melta guns to the bikers, rather than plasma. I would also make the DP the warlord in order to get a stronger warlord trait.

If plague marines are in rhino then might aswell use melta guns. If plague marines not using rhino then foot slog with plasma guns.
