So this is a list I have been mulling over. It is based around epidemious and a strong potential for alpha strike.
For 1 cp I can set the 20 possessed up within 9” of the enemy line . I can also spend 2 cp and drop the 30 plahuedearers down on turn 1 from deepstrike.

If all goes well 1st turn charges by the possessed and the plague bearers leave the enemy tied down in a mob of tough resilient foes who only get stronger the longer the game continues. Everything is a Nurgle Daemon so the tally should build fast and it benefits everything in the army. The daemonprince rushes up and backs the plague bearers.

Nurgle daemons patrol detatchment (+3cp)
2 x 3 nurglings 108
30 plague bearers instrument (+1” movement) 220
Daemonprince wings 180. Warlord.
Shriveling Pox
Horn of Nurgles Rot
Plagueflyhive (-1 to hit warlord if attacker is within 7”)
Epidemious 100 Locus of Virulence
5 Plague Drones instrument ( +1” move) 180
788

Flysworn CSM alpha legion Nurgle
2 x 3 units Nurgle Obliterators 390pts
Defiler Nurgle twin las, havok launcher 201
Nurgle Daemon prince wings 180 warptime
20 Nurgle possessed 440 pts

2000 pts

I like it. Though I’d switch out the Defiler for another unit of obliterators

@ Kaiser. I would trade the defiler but I have no other obliterators.

I tested the list. Ended up facing a majority space marine army. First turn charge by the possessed shut the whole line down for three turns. They are surprisingly resilient. They took on two space marine commanders with relic blades, a champion, a unit of centurions and a couple other random units for most of the game.
