I didn't think daemon princes made cult marines troop choices

looks like regular marines with mark of nurgle... they're already troops

Ah right you are, just a tougness boost eh?
So used to the cultist troop mindset haha
Personally I think there's too many meltas, you might want a plasma squad and a flamer squad.
Also obliterators are so strong you should definitely consider a squad over one predator
But what is going on with those power mauls?

I could throw some plasma and or flamers in there but used melta for simplicity since i have some guys with metals as wel as it would help to de meq people so the prince can fly over and burn and nurgle psychic people. I had extra points so i made all the normal troops nurgle to make them tougher.
The mauls are to help with mcs or dreads or high toughness models

The maul won't add much against those targets since you already have krak grenades

well the maul being the same strength as the krak grenades, the mauls would give you a lot more attacks as well as they are concusive so if you are against multi wound models or vehicles you would get the added bonus of that as well. yes it wouldnt do much against good armour saved models but then i have tonnes of melta or las for that

The Sword and the Maul both have their advantages and disadvantages, I'd have to think a sword might be more useful due to putting wounds that stick on MEQs, but this is a very troop centric list, where you are putting your scoring in harms way (similar to Grey Hunters or ASM) and you have to count on them to endure punishment.
It does look pretty solid, plenty of T5 bodies to deal with, lots of AT via predators. I think you may want to tweak your fire support a little, maybe swap out one of the spawn units for something else. Not sure I'm just thinking it seems very basic and could really use another support piece.

yeah its not awesome by any means, but should be fun. and wanted to make a list with a flying nurgle deamon prince, since there isn't any str 10 anti air, and with a 3+ jink save. i think he would do pretty well. and i havent seen any one using deamon princes.
the spawns i was thinking as they could tie up hammernators, or mephiston or any thing that is hard for the rest of my army to deal with

You could drop the spawn and one combi melta and take two dragons :-) really commit to the plan of flying vector strikes ascend dropping flame templates everywhere
The spawn will definitely do what you're taking them for but I'm not sure you would want ten spawn that's a lot of points spent on sacrificial bodies

i wouldn't even need to drop any combi meltas. heldrakes are actually cheaper then how i run my spawns, by 10 points lol

i personaly like the list and the mauls are good as your champs have to chalenge and it has the "concussive" special rule and +2S. also keep in mind the DP have there 5+ save and the jink save is 5+ so never jink.

But nurgle give hit shrouding so he gets +2 to his cover saves so a +3 jink
