Hello everybody!
After a lot of trials I thought about this list that I think is pretty solid, what do you think about it?
Do you have any advice to make it stronger?

Lose the sorcerer and instead take another mortar!

Seems like a confusing mix of a Mortarion list, and a traditional footslogging DG list.

If your plan hinges on Morty, then you need to spend points on things that will support him either surviving, or getting up the field quickly. The PBC's are too slow to keep up, so more Bloat Drones would be better. Plague marines with Blight Launchers are great, but the Arch Contaminator will not be nearby, neutering their output; other options would be better. Pox blobs are great, and Typhus is obviously gonna support them.

I'd swap out the PM's for recycling cultists on the CSM side (2 blobs of 30), keep all the Poxwalkers w/ typhus, swap out PBC's for more bloat drones. This will give you substantial board control for your large beatstick.

And what do you think about this one?
My plan is to use the Pox only for the objectives, but maybe in this case I have to use at least a unit of deathshroud...but I really don’t know what to swap out for them

I think that looks pretty good. I prefer Death Hex over Prescience myself, but thats really more a personal choice. I'd also probably take out both PBC's because the army you have is extremely fast, and swap in a third drone, and tons of cultists for objectives (and so you don't lose 1 CP for taking a single sorc). Sadly the PBC's won't be getting the benefits of the arch contaminator as it'll be following around morty and the drones

Thank you, may Papa Nurgle bless you!

i would take out both pbc for 1 more drone and bigger pox squads.

I highly recommend using the Chaos Codex to your advantage, and make Morty a demi-Magnus.

So maybe something like that?

Looks good. You could even pay 1CP and give morty warp time too, cause he will end up flying FAR away from that sorcerer. I think that list will be a lot more fun for you to play.
Buddy of mine has a similar list and has fun with it. Not sure what else I can recommend. Good luck!

I recommend the Daemon Prince running double talons - the extra 3 attacks while being S7 is what you want - the sword only gives you +1 Dmg but you lose the bonus attacks - not worth it
and I'd give Mortarion a copy of Miasma as a power - if you play long tables and morty runs away from Typhus (which he will) then you'll want the -1 to hit to help Morty live - hes a beautiful model and people will pick him out
