Thoughts on Tamurkhan's Horde?

Do the benefits outweigh the loss of some characters? Seems pretty good to me but I'm new and a sucker for the frogs!

I am thinking it's horde army needs some msu plague monks for a total of -2 charge.  Throw in a VL corruptor casting the halving charges spell and soulsnare shackles and you have a very locked down opponent with the option of throwing trees to further this plan.  Board with minimum movement? I'll add in the secret weapon: beast of nurgle! Keep tagging and retreating in key locations.  Win the game with zero kill points. Achievement unlocked.

Tempted by a monster themed nurgle army now that we have the full updates.

Wrote the following this evening:

 

Harbinger of Decay (General) (Hideous Visage) 

Great Unclean One (Glorious Afflictions) (Witherstave) (Bell/Blade)

Glottkin (Blades of Putrefaction)

40 Nurgle Marauders (Axe/Shield)

20 Nurgle Marauders (Axe/Shield)

20 Nurgle Marauders (Axe/Shield)

Nurgle Chaos Mammoth

Nurgle Chaos Mammoth

 

Army uses speed and board control to maximum effect. Swarming the board and putting the opponent under pressure fast. 

Multiple bravery debuffs should help the Glottkin's -1 to hit work and also cause real battleshock problems. 

Aim to get models in both territories fast to summon plaguebearers to block or hold objectives if needed.

Would be great to hear folks thoughts!

I was thinking of bravery bombing w mammoths too but didn't know if it would count as ally because of the wording.  Isn't it something like choose a mark on setup? If you can take 2 as nurgle units I want to add a few msu plague monks and take tamurkhans horde to make sure I get the charge w mammoths.
