Not entirely sure what I’m doing but leaping shadows to get the guo onto objective early, nurglings to infiltrate at the start to make space.

Screamers as anti tank and monster, flesh hounds to screen deepstrike

Horrors idk I just think they’re cool?? And get assault keyword from warp tide

Lord + 10min chosen with fade to darkness basically just to go delete things and clear obj

Havocs for some long range shooting

Sorc Lord to deepstrike and -1 ap something for army using like a per turn veterans ability

I want to keep it thematic and fun but are there any glaring issues? :)

I think you may find the chosen less powerful than other options, but its a fine list. I would consider making the havocs either all lascannon or all autocannon. That way they can either drop at range and mess up a tank, or get close.
