For a competitive environment (ITC) with a high level meta but not necessarily for tournaments. Idea is threat overload while also being durable enough to endure the late game. For note, the CC marines get into the partybus rhino with the plaguecaster and blightspawn which is then supported by the decimators. The DP lashes out on a flank with the 2 drones and the crawlers and remaining marines form the anvil. Blightlords play free safety. Let me know what you think I can improve upon.

Not to be against plague marines, but wouldn't cultists be a better choice?

Decimators atm are good, nothing there.

What psy powers will your caster have?

Edit: since you run claws you need also to pay for hellflamers.
Decimator siege claw with inbuilt hellflamer.

want play competitive, im sorry but no plague then. play poxbringers and/or cultists and maximize PBC and drones

Thank you both for the replies. I fear you are correct on the PMs. I want to keep the CC squad in the party bus for now as I've had good success even against knights when buffed with blades and vitality for MWs galore. Dropped the other 2 for more men on the field which does look better for board control. Also, @Not Online!!! the hellflamer is included in the points I've used just didn't list as extra (plus who doesn't want a D2 heavy flamer?).
