Who is actually championing the list these days? I've lost track. It would be good to push forward with it. I'm vaguely aware there is intended to be an updated Epic UK LaTD list in a year or two for similar reasons and hopefully the two could be similar or the same.

Why? I much, much prefer D3 personally - it's more random and chaotic, so suits the nature of chaos and Tzeentch in particular as the changer of ways.
The Lord of Battles has always been a poor choice for it's costs. Maybe the new 'Blood for the Blood God' special rule it has in the
updated Epic UK World Eaters list could be added? Basically it gets the option of +15cm to an engage move so long as it moves into close combat (and with as many enemy as it possibly can). It also looses it's FF value when using this.

Flamers drop to FF4+ and gain FF extra attack
Seems too powerful. Epic UK have dropped Flamers to a single FF3+ these days as after many many games they have been too powerful and too often taken over other types.
I think Plague Tower should be 15cm and maybe 300 as a unit but maybe 250 when bought as a formation upgrade. Most vehicles add speed with their transports but it doesn’t and it makes the formation very expensive. If you want it for the disrupt barrage the Contagion Engines can garrison and seem better for this and you should get a good discount for buying something as an expensive upgrade compared to it's cost as a separate formation. As is I don’t think I’d ever use a Plague Tower with infantry.
I’d suggest leaving the no march rule for the Death Guard list only. The two Nurgle units here are slow enough with 15cm already. It’s possible to take a couple of different all Nurgle formations in the Epic UK Red Corsairs list (not the Contagion Engines or Plague Towers so it’s not a direct comparison) and these are allowed to march in this army but the same units can’t in the Death Guard list.
Minor thing but please, please can we invent a better name than Technical for the AA tank? I gather it's a real world name for a light vehicle improvised to military use but it doesn't sound 40k grimdark or chaotic at all. It's not the kind of name GW would ever give a chaos unit. Look at the names GW has invented for newer chaos units - Maulerfiend, Hellbrute, Discordant, Desecrator, Rampager, etc. See the theme and how Technical is bland and doesn’t fit? Renaming the unit to be called a ‘Hell Storm’ or ‘Annihilator’ instead are my suggestions that I’ll throw in but anything chaosy sounding and not used before would be fine.
