Come on guys, Anything at all?

First why take a terminator lord at 500 a 3+ with an invul would serve you better and with mark of nurgle on a lord plague marines count as troops.

Yeah I agree that a normal lord with an invul would be better for you at 500pts. Also, I wouldn't have a power sword on your Plague Marine champ, he's initiative 3 so he will be striking last probably. Plus they have the Poisoned special rule.

Buddy, having a Nurgle Lord moves your Plague Marines to troops. Speaking of which, I'd give the champ either his default Plague Knife to save points, or a Power Fist to take advantage of his low Initiative. You could probably take all your troops choices as Plague Marines, which is hilarious at 500 points. One with a Flamer/Plasma Gun depending on your foe, and another with a Meltagun/Plasma Gun (which again depends on your opponent). The one thing about Plague Marines that will almost never change is their staying power. Some lists with the Farsight Enclave can make your day tough, but it's a rare opponent that can easily dispatch 5-10 Plague Marines.

And then there's your Lord...aside from unlocking Plague Marines, what is he doing? He's not kitted to go with any of your squads at the moment, so that's something you might want to change. At 500 points, he's probably joining a troops choice, so think of it in that sense.

tl;dr Plague Marines should be your troops choice, and the Lord should fit with one of those squads.

OK reviewing over what you said thanks btw , i currently only have the terminator lord with the lightning claws, so i need him for the time being.

I currently have 22 plague marines painted with death guard colours, (7 Plague models the rest normal chaos modified to nurgle)
- 2 Plasma guns
- Meltagun
- Flamer
- 2 Power Weapons
- Icon of despair
- Powerfist

So i have a few decent options there, i ordered a hellbrute from dark vengeance last night with the multimelta and combat arm so that is my army so far, i got some terminators with:
- Reaper autocannon + powerfist
- Power fist + stormbolter
- Power Maul + Combimelta
- Power Axe + Stormbolter
- Power Axe + Stormbolter
(All currently being painted as nurgle death guard.

And a vindicator somewhere if i can find it so anything from those models would be great

Ok, guys Im thinking

Chaos Lord (ordered Last Night)
-Plasma Pistol
-Mark Of Nurgle 95pts

5x Plague Marines
-Meltagun
-Power Fist 155pts

5x Plague Marines
-Plasma Gun
-Plasma Gun 150pts

Hellbrute 100pts
-Multimelta

Not bad, now we're getting somewhere. Couple of things, though.

-What role is your Hellbrute filling? I'd use it as a firing magnet, but it can do more things that people tend to give it credit for.
-Where do you plan to put your Chaos Lord?

Hello, looks good, how about putting a Plasma Cannon on the HB? Maybe more effective than the MM?

I've just thrown this together for your consideration. I think its VERY tough for 500 points.

Lord- MoN, PF, Gift of Mutation, Bike- 135

5 Plague Marines- 1 PG- 135
5 Plague Marines- 1 PG- 135

3 Bikers- MoN, 1 MG- 92

Total= 497

T5/6 army at 500 points! With some Anti-Tank and plasma for any 2+ armour saves out there, shouldn't be much at this level.

Needs more Heldrake. On a serious note, though, mixer86's version sounds rather excellent. If you take the Gift of Mutation from the Lord, though, you could afford either two flamers or a melta on the Plague Marines. Also may as well give one of the Plague Champions a combi-bolter to make up that last 3pts.

The Flamer swap is good, didn't think of that. simply threw the gift in there but 2 flamers is probably the better option.

if you wanna use bikes that is.
