1,500pts Death Guard Army; need some input

Have been thinking about doing a Deathguard army that gets up close and personal, then shoots the snot out of the enemy.
Can I have some comments and criticisms please?


Sorcerer Lord Pustulio
mark of nurgle, terminator armour, force weapon, combi bolter, wind of chaos

4 terminator bodyguards, 4 combi-meltas (or should I go combi-plasma?), nurgle banner
+ Land Raider Transport

7 plague marines (2 plasma guns + champ with fist)
rhino

7 plague marines (2 plasma guns + champ with fist)
rhino

Vindicator
Vindicator
Defiler


As you can see, I'm not sure if I should be taking plasma or melta in pretty much all of my squads.
I'm also worried that I can't afford extra armour or daemoninc possession on my tanks...although that's not so bad in 5th as it was in 4th edition.

Also wondering if the defiler should be ANOTHER vindicator, saving me 25pts, which I can use to give me sorcerer a combi-melta (kill tank -hrrrr!) and use the 20pts to...I dunno, possess the land raider or something?

From what i know of 5th you look like your lacking in troops.

I reckon drop the defiler for vindi as you said but also drop the LR in fvour of another plague squad?

Have you thought about trying Typhus instead of a Sorceror, I know its 50pts more but you'll get an extra wound, Feel No Pain, Wind Of Chaos and Nurgles Rot (and not have to take tests on using them either, plus a Daemon Force Weapon :)
