1. Herald of nurgle are very over costed for their points. Use one for babysitting a large unit of plagebros maybe. You could TRY to have him keep up with a unit of drones to activate their locus as well. but that's no guarantee. Since you have a demon prince to activate their locus that point is moot. 2. Never use lesser demons in units of 20. A unit of 20 is worse at being a tax/requirement as it costs more points and loses it's bonus for being over twenty models very very quickly. And its less effective at its overall battlefield role (for plaguebros thats being a tarpit/winning a war of attrition) then a unit of 20. I would make the existing units of plaguebros into 1x 30 and 1x 10, drop both heralds and add one unit of 10 plaguebros and a lord of plagues..maybe? Atleast he has a command ability that should see some use and has a decent amout of killing power/rend. Had him accompany the unit of blightkings. He himself has nurgles rot, the blightkings have the virulent discharge ability, and he can give the kings nurgles rot as well. So anything within 3" of this disgusting amalgamation (blightkings and lord of plagues) will get 3 rolls and any 6 is d3 mortal wounds. Blightkings also get a chance to heal the lord of plagues..who also heals a wound automatically... Pretty nice combo. Compliments the drone/prince combo doing some decent killy-ness on another part of the board. Also remember that the lord of plagues warscroll says he heals a wound at the start of EVERY hero phase. I interpret this to be your opponents hero phase as well because every other ability on all other warscrolls I have seen says YOUR hero phase.
