I have Kharn with 9x Berzerkers in a Land Raider
I have 7x Plague Marines in a Rhino

I just realized that Typhus is wearing Terminator armor so he can't go into the Rhino. I was thinking maybe I could keep Typhus in reserve, and then once the Plague Marines disembark, DS him near the PM and attach to their unit. This seems though to be kind of a lot of work just to put Typhus with the PM.
I could also not put them in a Rhino, and just walk them up the field, trying to stay in cover as much as possible, maybe just follow the Rhino and use it as mobile cover??

Any Ideas?

Put them on the ground, or put them in a Land Raider. It's not that complicated.

A better question might be why are you trying to shoehorn two expensive characters that don't have any synergy into the same army?

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

I have a mix/match army. I love both berzerkers and plague marines, and since berzerkers are great at melee, they are in the landraider with Kharn.

Iám trying to include some Berserkers in my list aswell. Maybe this will give you some inspiration.

Put the bezerkers in the rhino and the PM with Typhus in the land raider? Typhus and the PM are enough of an anvil with FNP and T5 that they can hold the enemy long enough to make up for the fact that the rhino is not an assault vehicle.

Yes! Put him with a giant blob of zombies! It would be very hard for your opponent to kill them all.

I have always had a problem with this idea in that Typhus is now moving at slow and purposeful speed. That's a very slow moving easy to avoid 230 points.

Ok, so ignore my extremely tough to kill scoring unit. All I'm going to do with it is walk to your objective. So please, avoid me, give me a free path to your objective.

They are a tough to kill scoring unit without Typhus if taken in the sizes they should be. I am merely stating that the PM have more to benefit from being joined by Typhus than the zombies and Typhus has more to gain from having the speed of a vehicle than being with the zombies.

My view on the plague zombies is probably skewed because I faced stealthsuit spam tau.......With eldrad. So I should probably give it another go.

Unless your running Plague Zombies, leave Typhus at home.
Hes just completely broken for his point cost. Typhus is expensive. A normal nurgle lord can do the job just fine.
