Hail warlords

Please assist me with this list.
Below is a budget nurgle list of the 3 pustules of nurgle (mortals, astarties and deamons). I am a former IG player converted to nurgle so I have plenty of mortals to convert and going halves for a no know fear box set and blightwar to save money.

I have found that my tanks are key so the majority if my army is to shield them as we slowly advance up the field and take objectives. I use the dead walk again and flies on the poxwalkers to increase their number as my cannon fodder falls while Typhus also boasts the walkers.
Horticulus stimulus plants the trees on objectives or where the deamons need them.
I only have 10 plague bearers so I may need to resummon them but thinking about scrapping the extra unit for another tree and 23points. Or scrap the ML as well and include a valkrye.

Any and all advice is welcome.

I feel like you've spent more on troops than you really need. I can't really say a Maelific Lord is worth 80. Ditch him, get a Herald to make a full daemon battalion.

If you have slimux, probably better to summon some gnarlmaws rather than buy them in a detachment, gives you flexibility to spend points summoning something else if it suits. 3 is probably excessive anyway.

Thank you for your feedback

I agree the ML is crap for the points. I'm pretty sure with Horton you still need to pay for the trees. How about this?
