Hey mate, just a few notes for you. Blasted standard is tzeentch only. Possible change could be warriors of nurgle and tzeentch cjosen with han weapon shield combo for 5++ in combat. As fas as your sorceror lord, maybe try him on a disc with a 3++ he'll be a real pain for tge enemy as a moving gun turrent. If you are going tzeentch magic perhaps consider ruby ring on him if tou hit a regen unit.

BSB is illegal (scaled skin + 3rd eye is 30 pts for gifts, and you can spend 25 pts only), try talisman of preservation + third eye

Cheers for the feedback!
Whoops I wrote the wrong standards they are meant to be switched.
I really like the idea of -1 to hit on the chosen with a whole load of pain coming from them.
I was thinking about sorc on a disc but i get scared I will put it in a stupid place and it will just get shot or my ultra bad luck with saving throws will fail me and I lose it. As I said I'm quite new to fantasy and would make mistakes like that.
What are the benefits to a disc other than flying?

BSB now has tali of pres, ironcurse icon, third eye, soul feeder, and boarding with a great weapon on daemonic mount :)

Beside the list creating rules mistakes mentioned above, and the needed thinkering with magic items you should do yourself (itīs fun after all, hahah) to find out what suits you better, I think that perhaps your warrior/chosen units are a bit too big; I would trim them down to 18.

Also, in my humble opinion Tzeench warriors make sense when they have HW/S or whatever other weapon choice in a fluffy list. Finally, I only like MoK in chariots due to overrun drawback of frenzy not being too big of an issue for them and adding 2 attacks for the already little frontage is a very good thing.

Whoops! another typing mistake I was in a rush earlier when I put this up. The gorebaest chariots are supposed to have mark of nurgle -1 to hit and toughness 6 is so annoying to cut down if you want to hold up a unit with them if I need to.
