10th edition death guard list. Is it any good?

[Typhus]

So in a effort to make do with our lot ( for now ) and not being one to shy away from a challange, I have desided to try and unlock what power there is hidden away with in our ranks.

 

So after asking Philemon to run the numbers and consulting the little lords for help ( can you guess what book am reading at the moment :D ) I have come up with the following list. So any help or things I could improve would be VERY welcome.

 

Forgot to add am not sure what the flails come under Heavy plague weapon or just a basic one so if anyone can help me with that, Ill change the list.

The powerfist, 2h axe and flail are all the heavy plague weapons on plague marines. 

 

The Blightlords terminators kept the flail as a seperate weapon.

If I can give criticism I don't know what lists you are running against or if it is a casual/friendly game or more competitive.  This will impact my criticism and your list buildling.

 

The glaring thing missing from your list is any kind of anti tank. One PBC and Morty is not enough. The PBC will get lit up like a Christmas tree as the only vehicle with any kind of AT and frankly its AT is bad. I would drop the bloat drones and put in MBH. They at least each have 3 shots of AT and will wound any vehicle on a 4. It, sadly, is the best AT we can get unless you want to bring a land raider or a predator. 

 

If you have a LR you can drop the rhino, drop at least one drop and take a LR to transport the 10 man PM squad with.

The only list I've seen have marginal success is the 4 princes build. You can alternate your other units, but the 4 princes is really your main secondary capture models since they are your fastest options that don't lose anything.
