I have the following:

1 Death Guard Lord of Contagion
- 1 Death Guard Noxious Blightbringer
- 1 Death Guard Malignan Plaguecaster
- 7 Death Guard Plague Marines
- 1 Death Guard Foetid Bloat-drone
- 20 Death Guard Poxwalkers

I am thinking about getting:
2 more boxes of Plague Marines
1 box of Blightlord Terminators
Plague Burst Crawler

What else should I get?

Thank you

What kind of list are you looking to play?

I don't play DG, but a couple guys in my group do.
based on what I've seen with them, you could use:
2 more crawlers
a LOT more poxwalkers
Mortarion
Maybe a 4th and 5th unit of Plague Marines. Make sure your PMarines have plenty of Special weapons.
A Gnarlmaw or 2
Some Daemons to ally with/summon
a couple DG Daemon Princes with wings.
A Sorcerer or two

Much of the answer depends on how you intend to play them. A shooty/castle army will need different models than an "in your face" one.

I play shambling horde style so lots of Poxwalkers and Demon allies. Others play more Marines, especially now with the new Bolter rule. Others just stick to Crawlers, DPs and Foetid Bloats. All depends on what you are wanting to play.

MM also hit the nail pretty well.

Mortarian is just such a cool mini, it is hard to leave him out.
