Played my first game ever of Warhammer against tomb kings and I won! Warriors of Chaos rule! This was the setup for the 2000 pt army. (I know now I made some big mistakes on points and magical items/mutations)

1 unit of 15 chaos warriors, MoK with additional hand weapons, SB, Mus. and Ch.
1 unit of 20 chaos warriors, MoN with additional hand weapons, SB, mus. and Ch.

2 units of 5 warhouds hounds. No upgrades

1 unit of chaos knights, MoK with ensorcelled weapons and shields. Doom knight, musc, SB.

3 trolls with additionall hand weapons

1 chaos sorcerer lord (joins nurgle warrior unit), MoN Lvl 4 upgrade, dispell scroll, chaos familiar, nurgles rot, scaled skin.

1 chaos Lord (joins knights), MoK with a deamonblade, helm of many eyes, mounted on barded steed

1st question, can you take shields AND additional hand weapons? I know that may sound dumb but I was goofing around with army builder lite, and it let me select additional hand weapons and shields. Is that right?

Please let me know what I messed up on and what I could do to improve this list. I'm probably going to play Ogres on tues next week so any tips would be great.

yes u can take extra hand weapon n shields but u can only use the shields for the +1 armour outside close combat. Also I think u might hav gone over ur lord limit % its only 25% so 500 points in 2k game

You can't take the spell familiar and the dispel scroll as they are both arcane items. You can only have one item from each category. I..e one weapon one armour, one arcane one talisman etc

Oh ok, thanks calamity and wockie, I will make the changes to my future list. That's gonna be a tough call between the dispell scroll and the familiar....not sure which to take.
Thanks for explaining the shields. Would that be useful though because I thought ranged attacks ignore the parry save, is that right? Doesn't seem like its worth the points to take the shields then.

So many rules to learn, lol.

The parry save is different than an armor save. The shields adds +1 to your armor save. If your fighting close combat with just a shield and hand weapon you get an additional save called the parry save.

Example: a marauder with hand weapon and shield fails his armor save, he then rolls again for the parry save.

I hope I got that correct,.I actually don't have a single unit in any of my armies that use hand weapons and shields.
