General gameplan -
PBC serve as anti-charge (triangle formation around super heavies or square with plaguebearers to one side)
Daemon prince hides behind PBC as they move in helping with rerolls (1 to hit and all wounds)
Vulcan never moves and isolates MEQ units
Morty and Magnus - standard
Poxbringer heals morty / DP if low but can also help heal PBC which is good value - also to note this brings spewers to 8 str if PBC hasn't degraded which is good even for bigger units

Its very light on obsec but looking at the maps for ITC it may not be a crushing issue. Where it loses points on objectives may make back on killing more of opponent units... maybe...

Any thoughts? I could see it being weak against horde / guneline armies due to the lack of deepstrike but anticipate most will be extremely bubble wrapped at tourny level anyway. Getting clear from mortarion aura, mecharius, smite and even the DP.

Edit: Just realized a PBC does not overwatch deepstrikers so have to revisit this....

All eggs in a few baskets... your relying on being able to table your opponent, what happens if they have a way to clear Morty and Mag within a few turns? Realize people come planning to face these two together at least a few times.

Honest question too, how can you have three super heavies from different codices in the same detachment? I thought they all had to be the same keywords to place them into detachments?

They are all chaos although they get no legion benefits and do not unlock strats.

Ah ok. Think it would feasible to play without strategems then and rely on just the strength of the units?

In this list there aren't many strats, at the moment you can deepstrike in Magnus and morty for 4 CP but the reality of it is this will get FAQed quickly. The only use for CP in this list is mainly rerolling dice and using the explosion strat for PBC when they get swarmed (1 CP for D3 MW is about standard).

Also as currently written nurgle strat allows mortarion to heal... no a great use of CP but doable if it gets him out of degrade.
