Adds up to 2498 think this army list be fun to play my tactic is to charge forward with the marauders and warriors and cast as much damage spells on my opponent and when the core units get in combat the Knights attack the flanks.Will an army like this work what are the advantages and disadvantages?

So the concept is usual three hammer / anvil chaos core + deathbus of knights w/ choppy caster + BSB? Not bad, not bad. I do think you can do better on the lord's weapon, save a ton of points by not taking the Banner of the Gods, and also increase or combine all of your units so they can do something that matters. Here's my shot:

Sorcerer Lord - MoT, level 4, runesword, puppet, talisman of protection, chaos steed = 414

Exalted Hero - MoT, BSB, talisman of endurance, ironcurse, halberd, chaos steed = 200

18 Warriors - MoK, standard, musician, halberds = 336
18 Warriors - MoT, standard, musician, shields = 326
40 Marauders - MoK, standard, musician, flails = 246

8 Knights - MoT, standard, musician = 370

Dropped frenzy off your tizz bunker warriors and your deathstar - you want control over these guys, as any kind of battle plan (or victory!) is going to hinge around keeping them in your control. Added a ton of command as well (you want musicians whenever possible, at the very least). Note too the points total! Your list was something like 1500 without adding in a few hundred for the knights? Far from 2500, but getting close to a decent 2000 pointer If you like where my tweaked list is headed, I'd probably suggest dumping 90 points in 3x 5 warhounds, then using the last bit of points to grab the +1M or the +1LD banner for the knights
