Hey need some urgent advise as its for a game tonight. I know i'll be going up against marines in some form, and will probs be fighting alongside nids. I have 125 pts left over and don't know what to spend it on. So what do you think I should take

As your paying a premium in points for plague marines, I would drop the plasma for melta's so your not blowing yourself up, remove the combi-plasma from the rhino's for combi-flamer that way the plague marines can go after vehicles and the rhino can flame infantry.

The points you save on plasma with the left over points is 145pts nearly enough for 2 more obliterators.

And try out a slaanesh daemon price, with lash of submission this allows you to bunch up units for your obliterators plasma cannons, or move a unit of an objective or even move them into assault range of one of your units, and the extra initiative means your daemon prince is usually going first in combat as well.

I forgot to mention one of the guys i'll be playing against plays GK, hence why I've packed as much plasma as I can. Also I figured that Plasma guns on plagies would be okay seeing as they have FnP as a back up to plasma boom.

Have to disagree with this, the premium for Plaguies buys Feel No Pain, so the Plasma is unlikely to kill you if it gets hot. Plasma love for the win.

And try out a slaanesh daemon price, with lash of submission this allows you to bunch up units for your obliterators plasma cannons,

An old tactic and used to be very good (strictly no-comp, those comp wooses get upset by lash/oblit love), but less effective with the current prevelance of vehicles. Also not at all "Death Guard" if theme/fluff is important to you.

remove the combi-plasma from the rhino's for combi-flamer that way the plague marines can go after vehicles and the rhino can flame infantry.

definately agree with this +++

this is the list I decided to go with,was playing with necrons aginst GK and BA, even though we lost ( due to psyfleman blowing up the doomsday arc first turn) it did suprisingly well, highlights of the army was the DP tearing the BA contemptor dred to pieces and the squad of plaugies all but destroying Astorath's squad.
