Total Roster Cost: 2498

Concerns:

I don't have a good feel for how effective the marauders will be. I don't know if the khorne marauders (who I admittedly don't intend to live, just to kill some stuff) will be killy "enough" to accomplish much.
I don't know if the tzeentch marauders will be an effective enough bunker for the sorcerer with only 5 ranks and the 5+/5+ saves.

The BSB feels a bit flimsy. 3+ save on a T4 W2 model. He has a reroll for the armor, but I don't feel "great" about his survivability, for a model as important as he is now.

Chaos characters are spendy, and I really went all out on the lord. I expect him to be a total wrecking ball, BUT it has left me pretty light in the magic phase. I'm concerned the magic defense will hurt me, especially against my potential dark elf opponent. Admittedly he only takes 2 casters, but DE magic is scary. :P

I'm tentatively abandoning Marauder Cav for now and trying all warhounds for screening fodder, to save points.

Thoughts?

The Khorne marauders will be fine as long as they are not too badly shot up in the first two turns. Then again, when your opponent focuses fire on them, good for the rest of your army :).

Your Tzeentch sorcerer has two arcane items which makes him illegal.

I'd make the BSB as survivable as possible. You do not want to kill things with him, but stay alive as long as possible. Mark him Tzeentch and give him the Talisman of Endurance and the Enchanted Shield. This would give him nice 2+/4++ saves. Another possibilty would be the Luckstone, Enchanted Shield and something else (but not a magical weapon) to give him 2+ rerollable / 5++ saves in close combat.

Other than that, nice allrounder list.

Damn, that's a 7th ed habit. Taking "a scroll" and 1 more arcane item. I'll figure out an alternative.

Yeah, that's probably a smarter way to load him up. If I make him difficult to kill, just his statline should be enough to take care of anything aside from a fighty lord, who my lord should be zeroing in on already anyway.

Good advice, thank you.
