Thoughts?

I dont like seeing flamers on bikes because once you jink, they can't be used.

Flamers on Raptors. Meltas (or plasma) on bikes.

You're so close to a vectorium it seems a shame to not go that route. I understand if you're building the army to fit the models you got...but if that weren't the case I'd make a few changes.

First I'd ditch the plague marines.. normal marines with MON got everything except the poison and to me there are better ways to get it in the army. Second I'd kit out my 10 man csm squads with a melta and autocannon or plasma and autocannon. Your dudes all got relentless... might aswell use it, more dakka for less points.

As for the daemon prince I'm more of a fan of more smaller lords over one big guy with how boons work now. For the points costs of your D-prince you can bring in 1 lord on a bike with Pweapon a sorc on bike and another sorcerer to support the troops. All with double/rerolling boons... heck one of them could easily become a daemon prince. You'd probably have points left over to build up your core and buy so fun toys for your lords.

Anyways, just some thoughts. Any who look at the Vectorium detachment again, you're so close and really rerolling 1s for feel no pain and cloud of flies is pretty sweet.

I do have the models to go vectorium but I fond it wayyy too restrictive and I don't like how most of the formations require a HQ choice.
On the daemon prince while I can get a lord and sorcerors or 2 for the same price the prince with his daemon weapon can do far more damage.
The Plague marines I am considering swapping out for a chosen squad with 4 plasma guns.
The bikes have flamers due to the fact I face daemons quite a bit and they end up getting charged by daemonettes a lot. I normally hide them in a ruin so I don't need to jink.

I play Death Guard and their strength is that everything has relentless... I pack as many autocannons as possible into my lists- easy to outrange your opponent with good S shooting and still move them around..

Not even a single squad of Havocs or heavy weapon in the list- seems like a real shame and you're not playing to one of the major strengths of Death Guard.

At 345 pts the Daemon Prince is a massive chunk out of your 1500 point total for the army. A lord/ Sorc on a bike to go with your bike squad would be half of that with a ton of upgrades!
you could maybe fit in an auto cannon Havoc squad with the points saved. (not sure on costs don't have book on me)

I totally feel ya with the restrictiveness of basically all the "Decurion" detachments... we've become slave to the GW buying schemes.... haha

a unit of Chosen MON 4 x plasma is 165. A unit of havocs MON with 4 x plasma is 150. A unit of havocs with 4 autocannon is 130 and argueable better when you weigh being ap4, not having gets hot and the range. At the very least I'd take the havocs over the chosen unless you intend to send the plasma chosen into situations where they'll end up assaulting... which could be I suppose.

Thanks so I played a game today I ran
Lord in terminator armour Mon claw chain fist votlw
10 csm 2 plasma mom votlw 9 x additional ccws power fist rhino with havoc launcher
10 csm 2 plasma Mon votlw rhino
3 bikes 2 flamers combi flamer Mon votlw
3 terminators 3 combi plasmas chain fist power fist Mon votlw
Hellbrute
Then a squad of plague marines in a rhino (so a warband + plague marines)
Faced a strange nid/ genestealer cult list
Game went to turn 7 mission was the relic
He had first blood line breaker I had the relic (sat with the 5 plague marines in the land raider).
My list was unbound due to me forgetting to take my copy of traitors hate however thank fully the chaos warband was in traitor legions so I could at least make it a death guard formation.

Yeah, that could be a Black Crusade detachment from Traitors Hate... But I honestly think the bonuses from a Vectorium out of Traitors Legion is far superior.... Have to call the plague marines either CSM, Chosen, or Havocs w/ MoN.... But you make them CSM instead of Plague Marines and you'll have the points for a single MoN spawn to be a legal Vectorium.
