A farm would suggest a capability to produce more zombies.

If my army can kill, or not worry about three obliterator, had a modicum of anti-air then you're basically giving me a load of zombies to slowly whittle my way through, with the only worry being Typhus if he does make it to the front and I don't keep challenging him.

The heldrakes will be tripping over each other and not too effective,

I don't think it is an army that wins games. I think it is one that relies on your opponent panicking and didoing silly things - like rushing to engage you rather than pulling back and shooting.

I can see it doing well in a pruge the alien as you are not fielding many units. If it's all about objective capturing I think you'll be able to hld them but will struggle to physically roll opponents off an objective.

Not sure on the stats on zombies, but you could drop a heldrake for a fast attack choice to confuse and tie down til you reach effective range.

Gonna struggle vs tanks tho

Too many Zombies. Seriously, you won't be able to deploy and manage moving them around, it will also make moving your Helldrakes a nightmare. I'd keep two large squads ~30 and drop the rest down to ~15strong. Take the Points and add an additional Oblit to each squad, OBLITS NEED TO BE NURGLE. Not the most exciting army, but has the kind of redundancy I tend to enjoy.

I play greentide orks. I handle it fine with plenty of room to rush my flyers up.

I didn't say it would be impossible, all of my advice stands. You limit your ability to keep your Helldrake on the table, and the Oblits are needed.
