Hi, I like the general idea but I think you need more plaguebearers, you could cut 3 Nurglings in the last detachment to increase the 'Bearers by 4 and 4.
This said, is the last detachment legal? I honestly don't know

I would, but i only have 51 plaguebearers. The last detachments binding keyword is demons, but i dont know if i csn legally buy skullreaver for the prince even with the strats unlocked? If not i feel like ill cut the pbcs for a lord of change, which gives me points for maybe another demon prince or something

Yeah that last detachment isn't legal you can't use chaos as a faction keyword anymore. You could use nurgle if it wasn't for the skullreaver prince.
You'll have to squeeze in a deathguard HQ to make a seperate spearhead, if the people you're playing don't mind you having 4 detachments (most don't it's only guidelines anyway).
Also I would probably try to field units of 30 plaguebearers to try and keep them above 20 longer and get that sweet -1 to hit.
Other than that it's a fairly solid list. You won't be too upset when an armiger or pbc go down cos they're fairly cheap and it'll take a long time for your opponent to get to those juicy HQs. If it was me I'd swap the armigers out for a gallant, I've found him to be the most useful against big stuff out of all of the knights and he's a bargain.

It's got the daemon keyword but not the faction keyword unfortunately.

Gotcha, didn't realize that (PBC's... lol). Back to the drawing board, I just wanna use my demons!

I've found them to be really good this edition, don't belive the hype about them being underpowered. I think they need a bit more dakka so I tend to use oblitorators and a leviathan dreadnought but the armigers and pbc could do the job well too!

I know they're good, its just finding a list that jives with them. I have a Mortarion/Epidemus list that I feel would work great (You get warptime by taking a nurgle sorcerer), but I need mortarian to test it. My demons I tend to run a nurgle battlion just to tie stuff up, and my last soup list did well in an ITC tournament (battle reps are up in that forum). However, I now find I'm using my demons less and DG/1k sons more, wanna try something new

Yeah I think they seem to do well in ITC tournements, I've managed to get some top 5 finishes with them. Can you swap out the armigers for some hellbrutes or something and make a DG detachment? That way you've got some nive synergies woth psychic powers, DP, poxbringer etc.

helverins are superior to every hellbrute, superior mobility pretty more durable they shoot enough, no sinergy but more point efficient, i have a IK with double gatling (but only 30 Pb) and im still unsure if play 3 helverins and more Pb+bloodletters instead, i found IK give lot of long range reliable dakka (24 re rolling hits 2d6 flamer and 1d6 missiles plus 12 CaC re rollable attacks), which Nurgle/Dg needs. Korne Dp is great but so squishy right now im playing a Nurgle Dp with corruption, less overall damage but more resilient, corruption+virulent blessing and you hit and wound anything in game at 2+ re rolling 1's and you can deliver a surprising load of wounds with just some 5's or 6's.
this might be a list, just i hate lost demons/dg stratagems

Helbrutes aren't very good. This list is basically dead; PBC's are a powerhouse unit, so either I cut out the Armigers altogether for a Lord of Change, or figure something else out. Gonna go back to the drawing board

Interesting list, definitely is not my style though; PB's are much, much weaker without the scrivener for the extra 2" (not to mention all the extra attacks). Plus the dude who allows 2d6 morale... I feel like he should be an auto-include for 2+ units of PB's. Also Armiger's, while good, are inconsistent generally; they can do a lot of damage, but using them myself I don't rely on them to do much work in most games. They are great against dark eldar vehicles though. Good luck with that list!
