new to WoC- have I missed anything?; how to best equip troops available

hi all,

Im new to Warriors of Chaos, but not the hobby as such.

Having gotten a bit tired of the other armies I usually play, I came up with the idea of searching trough my bits boxes (there's quite a few of them,started with warhammer back in 4th edition) and create a Warriors of Chaos army using exactly those troops that I found.

So. Without anyupgrades, using only the equipment that the models carry, myarmy came up to 1350 points. I figured that if I add 150 points of upgrades, that would give me a nice army for small, friendly, games of 1500 points.

So. my question for you is NOT what troops I should add or drop, I will use exactly these miniatures, but what I do need is advice on magic items, marks and especially if there are any really juicy things in the 8th edition I have forgotten about.

My army:
Hero on a chariot.

Sorceror.

10 Warriors, full command, shields.

15 Warriors, full command, additional hand weapons.

6 ogres, full command, great weapons.

5 knights, banner.

spawn.

this small army is 1350 points without any upgrades. I think I will give my sorceror a spell familiar to give him two spells, my hero (general) a sword of might and bronze armour of Z for some hitting and surviving power while not overspending on a character that is basically going to be shot down every game I guess, give the smaller warrior unit mark of slaanesh to keep them as reliable body guard for my sorceror and detachment to my larger unit, which will get mark of nurgle and raptuous standard. my other hard hitting unit, the six ogres, will get the mark of khorne.

that totals 1490 points. don't know what to do with those last points. don't know if I should drop any of the upgrades I intend to use (going to play against all kind of foes, don't know their armies at all)

Any quick advice?

To start I think youe better off with 2 units of 12 Warriors than the set up your proposing.

Suggest looking at uses for . . .
. Banner of Rage
. Banner of Eternal Flame
. and War Banner never hurts
