I just had to try something.

12 LC shots on 2+ BS with "killshot stratagem". 4 LC on normal 3+ BS and 2+2 LC shots from the brutes. 4 from one of the brutes if you use "fire frenzy". Thats 22 shots. 3 ML shots(fire frenzy). Thats gonna do about 100 damage to a LR in one round.

The army gets 12CP, so you can just spam killshot each rund if you still have 3 left.

Troops will screen the vehicles with ("cloud of flies" and the "dead walk again" stratagems) unless i feel there's room to advance without leaving the vehicles exposed. Spawn for some flexibility on objectives.

Am i on to something here?

Looks like a nice and shooty list to me, but I'm not sure what you'll benefit from by choosing to make this a Death Guard list as opposed to a very similar Chaos list.

I'm not entirely sure either, but helbrutes have Inexorabe advance so they can walk and shoot at full BS.

There is the tally man, and 18" rapid fire from cultists too. and the insane bubble wrap with "cloud of flies" and the "dead walk again" stratagems

This is probably about the best gun line we can come up with. I would personally use some plague bursts in place of some of the Chaos Predators especially with the Chaos Lord re-rolling one's but that's just me.

Short answer. No. The way the meta is right now with hordes, you do not have enough do deal with those numbers. Also with eldar rules coming out and a reliable -3 to hit and at minimum -2 to hit, you have to have reliable melee. We are going to see a lot of craft worlds because the current meta is so Guard heavy and eldar with their new rules deals with them well.
