I quite like it actually. No idea how it'd do but it looks cool in my head on the board haha

Thanks!

General idea is Poxwwalkers as a screen, then midrange them out with Marines and company. Good stategems allow for great screening options by hiding your units behind Cloud of Flies and the human wall of Poxwalkers. Blight Crawlers hang back for support while Marines, Terminators, and Haulers shoot up opponent.

I considered Morty, but he needs support and a fairly different list then what's here.

Yeah he's a lot of points and needs a lot more dedicated to him to make it worth it, it seems. I can't not take Morty though unfortunately. Every time I take him out, the dead, puppy dog eyes of his glorious model look at me until I put him back in.

The only problem I can see with the Plague Crawlers, the more I think about it, is how random they are. Having D6 attacks and everything hitting on 4+ means generally they won't really do all that much which worries me a little as I have two in my own list. But maybe the fact that there's two will mitigate that. The entropy cannons seem pretty swish too

You missed some points
The haulers also have the bile spurt (5 per modell) and you blightlord champ misses his cc weapon. So your list has 2020 p...
Sugestion: give the champ an axe and a combiplasma instead of the combiflamer and remove 4 poxwalker.
Bubotic axe +5
Combiflamer -11
Combiplasma +15
Bilespurt (not optional) +15
4 poxwalker -24

Thanks!

BattleScribe did not factor in Bile Squirt on the Haulers on its point costs. I should have picked up on this when making the last itself, but I'm fairly new and had a major oversight with it. Ugh.

I also saw a lot of people aren't playing rhinos in their lists because they can just match up the table behind the Poxwalkers and stratagems. I dropped them for now and kit-ed my squads out a little better.

This is where I'm at now:
