Morbus Legion of Nurgle Army List

Here's the current list for my Nurgle army:

HQ: Morbus the Foul, Daemon Prince of Nurgle, Wings, Mark of Nurgle, Warptime (175)
Elites: 5 Chaos Terminators, Mark of Nurgle, Reaper Autocannon, 3 combi-weapons (1 flamer, 2 melta), Lightning Claw, Chain Fist, Power Fist (265)
Troops: Anthrax Squad: 7 Plague Marines, Plague Champion with Power Fist and melta bombs, one Personal Icon, one Flamer, one Meltagun, Rhino with extra armour (276)
Botulism Squad: 7 Plague Marines, Plague Champion with Power Fist, Plasma Pistol and melta bombs, one Personal Icon, one meltagun, one Plasma gun (251)
Canker Squad: 7 Plague Marines, Plague Champion with Power Fist and melta bombs, one Personal Icon, one meltagun, one Plasma gun (236)
Heavy Support: Defiler (150)
Vindicator, daemonic possession (145)

Total 1498, 8 kill points.

This is by no means an optimized list, I mainly chose it for flavour and modelling opportunities hence things like the 7 member squads. If I could make up the points somewhere else I might even swap Warptime for Nurgle's Rot as I like it better for flavour. The plan is for Morbus, the marines in the rhino, with close support from the Defiler and Vindicator, to bring it in the enemies face. At least three of these will be fire magnets, but something will get through. The other two marine squads bring support in and hold objectives with the terminators deep striking where needed.

Probably the list needs more than three troop choices, so I'd be better changing to some plain CSM squads rather the Plague Marines, but I went for flavour and I like the legion of disease theme.

The 1750 point list (I've yet to get the models for this many points), it's as above with a couple of tweaks and the additional of a fourth Plague Marine squad in a rhino.
