Mono-nurgle dual Great unclean one flying circus daemon 1750 list - Phew!

A teaser for an upcoming winged nurgle prince conversion!
Hello all! This is a list i will be testing out on the weekend against a tyranid buddy of mine (testing out the new nids). I have 2 more nurgle daemon princes with wings conversion articles coming up soon, so stay tuned!

Without out further ado, the list:

x2:
Great unclean one
Greater reward (balesword)

x2:
Nurgle daemon prince
Wings
Armour
Mastery 3 (biomancy)
Greater reward (balesword)

Nurgle daemon prince
Wings
Armour
Mastery 3 (biomancy)
Greater reward (balesword)
Exalted reward (Portalglyph - another conversion/scratchbuild coming up!)

x2:
x10 plague bearers
icon of chaos

x10 plague bearers

aegis defence line
comms relay

1755 (5 points over the limit is ok right?)

The non-icon bearer squad and all 3 princes sit behind the aegis first turn to gain a 2+ cover, portalglyph is dropped (make sure to place objectives backfield). Zoom forward, hope you survive turn one, then comms relay helps bring down bearers and GUOs (using the icons to help the GUOs down) turn 2. Then smash up the enemies stuff. Baleswords to Instant death MCs (monstrous creatures). I used a list similar to this a few days ago and it was uber fun to play (far more fun then my tau - i still love my tau though!). Dropping 2 GUOs in the opponents deploments zone is MEGA LOLZ. If you are playing the relic, rush up the princes to intercept enemy troops trying to take the relic, drop the portal next to the relic to help bring it closer, and deepstrike everything in the centre, using MCs to tie everything up while sneaky plaguebearers run off with the relic.

What are your thoughts on the list? What would you change?

Until then.
