You have basically not a whole lot of units and not a whole lot of Bloodpoints to generate.
The list in itself is neiter fast nor durable and lacks a lot of punch. I would probably stick with CAD at such a small game.
A list could look like this:

1x Bloodthirster

8x Bloodletter /w Bloodreaper
8x Bloodletter /w Bloodreaper

5x Flesh Hounds
5x Flesh Hounds
5x Flesh Hounds

1x Soulgrinder /w Phlegm
1x Soulgrinder /w Phlegm

More units, better shooting, faster and stronger in melee while also beeing more durable.

Naturally, all depends on your model collection, your playstyle and your local meta.
As a rule of thumb: Lightning Claws should be used as pairs, Plasma Pistols and Chain axes are "noob traps" that do only cost points but have very little effect. Same with the Bloodanner and the Instrument. The Forgefiend is an extremely costly model that is worse than the cheapr soulgrinder.
