Some things that I took away form the tournament this past weekend:
- Landraiders are easy as cheese to kill if you have dedicated anti-tank, so they are going to be vulnerable and are easily the biggest targets in the list up front
- You're only killing 2 tanks per turn, and you have extremely limited anti-flyer fire power - does Typhus get to use spells from divination in order to get rerolls to hit? That can help
- Plague zombies are solid, if for no other reason than they are more difficult to take down that it seems; most armies don't have massed S6 shooting, so they will almost always get FNP
Overall I don't think its terrible, but I would think about dropping transports in favor helldrakes and oblits. You can move forward behind your mob of zombies, taking tons of cover, while you wait for your helldrakes to show up and just destroy everything your opponent cares about. I just think helldrakes are almost too good of a choice to not take in a chaos army, they're easily one of the best flyers in the game.

Very fluffy, I like it. Your zombies will hold objectives all day long without problems, but digging your opponent off his will be a bit of a challenge. You might consider dropping veterans of the long war on your csm squads and look to take the fearless icon. Also, you don't seem to have much anti armor. Also, since your plague marines are I3, why not just go ahead and take a power fist for 10 extra points and put a power maul on the guy who has an axe in the rhino?

Drop a Land Raider - take 2 Vindicators
If you can (I don't know if is a requirement of Typhus) but drop Veterans of the long war. It is shit unless you have a very assault based army.
Swap all plasma for meltas.
Drop axes and powerfists for double lightning claws.
You don't need the AP because combat with terminators means you have already lost.
Take a helltalon - drop a unit of 10 Chaos Space Marines if you have to.
They are good.

And drop hand weapons from that unit - take a Rhino for them instead.
