Hail warlords

This is my first Chaos army, 1500 point competitive list made with some converted imperial guard and a nurgle deamon box and know no fear box and a typhus.

Stratagems
I use cloud of flies and the dead walk again on the pox walkers

Tactics
I slowly move up with the Russ tanks firing away which is screened by the infantry.
The cultists ate the front unit acting as a battery for the pox walkers.
The hearld follows the blight drone and plague drones boasting thier strength and healing the bloat drone


Any and all advice is welcome.

You really want the daemon units in a different detachment or summon then.
They don't have the Death Guard keyword so prevent useful abilities

Thank you I may swap the nurglings for more cultists. And I can summon the deamons and it maybe a good idea to summon the hearld as well. I thought that deamons from the death guard codex have the death guard keyword? The battalion is pure death guard the spearhead is chaos (renegade tanks and deamon HQ). Does this prevent abilities?

The spearhead is fine because Renegades have no codex powers, but the Death Guard daemons turn off the legion ability and objective secured equivalent. It will also prevent you from using death guard strategems

(I might be wrong about the spearhead, as i think Russes can gain the objective secured equivalent in the guard codex)
