I would replace Typhus with a Plaguecaster. He is a lot more points and you are not getting the benefit to poxwalkers as you are not bringing any. The Bloatdrones are better to take plaguespewers because of their BS; it is better to autohit, especially against these rangers and vanguard.

The major worry I would have is DG getting across the field. You are running a fairly slow army that is not going to take penalties for moving, so he may be able to focus fire down your anti-heavy units before you can take out his destroyers and crawlers. Oh and it will be super hard to get into combat with the lord of contagion as he won't have backup when he deepstrikes and he is super slow.

So maybe switch out the HQs (Demon Prince is always great), and run up the field with the drones and Hellbrutes to give the rest of your units some time to get in position and shoot.

DG has, exact 0 buff to these shooty hellbrute and tanks.

At least giving them <Alpha Legion> could improve some survivability, and making them Slaanesh unlocks access to double shooting.

Drones should take the flamer type weapon(plaguespitter).
