I like it, if you can maybe swap the plague marines for a spearhead of obliterators from the Purge. A unit can shoot at a unit in melee with the poxwalkers and if you use the dead walk again stratagem you will recover some more poxwalkers.

Your list looks pretty strong but I think you should.
- remove the plague marines there to much points atm and not good for competitive.
- the plague caster is good but a nother DP with twin talions would be better. I always use two and there diversity in what the can do makes them one of the best HQ's for me.
- for more fire power there is only one option in my opinion. Plague burst crawlers with plague spiters there really hard to kill combined with there insane range. But they need a DP nearby cause there mortar hits on 5+ if the have moved. So re rolling one's can really help.
And for the rest more poxwalkers the better.
