Any advice on how to play this list is appreciated. Im using my AoS Nurgle army as a 40k army so that a friend can test his army with to prepare for an upcoming tourney. Im not an experienced 40k Demon player so any tip, tricks or techniques would help. I plan to stack the Prince, Heralds and Drones into a Drone-star. All others with run around and grab OBJ's or tie up his shooty units.

The feel no pain herald should be in a squad of 20 in the tallyband, because the formation gets bonuses from his locus. Cut off all the extra troops other than the tallyband because they do not do much work at all, and because of slow and purposeful, they never really reach shooty units and survive. Nurglings die nearly instantly, so dont rely on them pulling much weight either. Competitive demon lists are crammed with greater daemons, and those are what actually get anything done in the army. Summoning is major as well. The prince having 2 greater rewards will make him last a lot longer, and DO NOT put him into a squad, the rules for 40k will make it so that he is a lot weaker. Drone star isnt a bad idea at all, but the prince has no place in it, while he is flying his shrouded stacks for a +2 jink, and with the FnP greater reward, he can take so many hits and live to jam into combat.

I'll keep the demon prince out on his own. What about dropping the tally band, replacing with a knight and adding a unit of bearers to the CAD

I like the idea of DP with Grotti, he can working in synergie with Drones or alone

Tallyband is not setting very well, first of all the Herald needs Locus of Fecundity, switch the nurglings of CAD with two units of plaguebearers of the Tallyband (if you play maelstrom infiltrating nurglings working very well)

Really appreciate your feedback. I'll swap out those burglings amd add fercundiry
