As long as your meta doesn't practice the "Rule of 3" this is a fine list. Otherwise drop a drone which frees up 160 points to invest in something else.

 

I really like the squad of blight haulers, which is a personal preference. 3 x 10 poxwalkers is okay. I don't really like the double LoC in this list simply because they don't gel with the rest of the army. If you are wanting to stay mobile, I would look at a prince with talons and wings instead.

First off, thanks for the advice.

So I dropped both LoC's and 1 Bloat drone and ended up with this.

Bang on 1500pts

If anyone is complaining in your groups about this list then their competitive standards are pretty low.

This list is a good one for casual and fun games but is nowhere near cheesy or making you look like a "Douche bag".

2 deredeo and a leviathan with 3 PBC is a different story.

Yea, not really seeing why you'd be worried. Looks like a fun list to play with, but You might have a hard time winning games. 

 

3 blight haulers are expensive with no real units to buff.

30 Poxwalkers are ok for scoring, but squishy. You'll have a hard time in objective matches. 

Plaguespitters destroy in casual games. That is probably why OP was worried. At the beginning of 8th I was melting C'tan with my drones and people were not very happy. If you don't play much 40k drones can be startlingly good and sometimes newer or unimaginative players are shocked when they charge one and die.

I would prefer to have 3 plague crawlers with spitters instead of myphitic blight haulers.

 

When people see 3 plague crawlers and 3 spitter drones followed by some flying DP's rush them they usually panic.

Dont tell everyone about my list! but if you do you missed off the twin butcher leviathan and contemptor

2000 points if you want both contemptor and leviathan 

 

Daemon battalion

Pox bringer x 2

Nurglings x 3 units

 

 

DG Outrider

DP wings

Spitter Drones x 3

 

DG Spear head

Chaos Lord

Spitter crawlers x 3

Butcher Leviathan (replace with 2nd contemptor for a 1750 list)

Butcher Contemptor

 

It tends to ground out victories and last till turn 6. But I never smash opponents
