Looks solid.

At the moment Typhus is strictly better than the Lord of Contagion, and cheaper, so you can save a few points there.

The FW character necrosius is a souped up plaguecaster which could be a good use of those saved points.

I like the list, but in the spearhead detachment restrictions it says all units must be from the same faction.

So I'm not sure exactly how factions are separated but i was thinking that you would have to take a different detachment to be able to get the demons in the list and/or the black legion vindicators.

Again I'm really out of the loop on the new rules so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Chaos is a faction, they are all from the Chaos faction.

I thought chaos was a keyword, and the factions were demons, marines, questor traitoris. idk

All factions are keywords, not all keywords are factions.

Chaos, Questor Tratoris, Heretic Astartes, Death Guard, are faction keywords. Demon is a keyword but not a faction.
