The idea behind the list is to use kill shot on predators while in range from HQ to reroll everything. While using dead walk again stratagems so every dead cultist becomes a buffed up poxwalker (typhus & Daemon prince). Also the bloat drones job is to trim down enemy infantry to become poxes. I choose these elites so the poxwalkers can fight first if they get charged and to advance more quickly across te battlefield. I'm not to sure to keep the space marines or to add more cultist or poxes. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated!!!

Dark Apostle doesn't provide rerolls to predators. Chaos Lord does.

Poxwalker "farm" tactics is nerfed and totally not usable now.
DG FAQ 1.3 says:
"Q: If the Poxwalkers’ Curse of the Walking Pox ability increases
the unit above its starting strength in a matched play game,
does this cost reinforcement points?
A: Yes, you must pay reinforcement points for each
Poxwalker model that you add to the unit that would
increase the unit above its starting strength."

10x3 Poxwalkers are enough. Save the points for making 1 of the Cultists unit big, and benefit from tide of traitors.

I have been tinkering around with this list. I felt Like the triple predator with killshot combo would be to easily shut down. The bloat drones felt a bit off in the list but i'm not to sure about that. Also when adding a huge blob of cultist for the Tide of traitors made me think i've opened myself up for some leadership issues, so i changed it to black legion with abadon (warlord). This in combination with a tallyman should give me an average of 17 CP during the game. I choose this since i will be using an average of 13 CP during the first 3 turns (Veterans of the long war & Endless Cacophony on Obliterators and tide of traitors once) Please tell me what you think about the changes, if it's made more competitive or not.
