Hey there, new to the forum and Warriors of Chaos

My local Gee-Dub is running an escalation league over the summer, here's a 500 point list I've been toying with, and then the 1000 point variation of that list.
There's not an aweful lot I can fit into 500, I was hoping to take a chimera, but that would mean taking a chariot instead of warriors, here are the two 500 point lists I had in mind.

1.
Sorcerer (Fire probably) + Enchanted Shield = 115
17 x Nurgle Warriors w/ FC + Gleaming pennant = 324
5 x warhounds = 60
5 x warhounds = 60

Seems soft (ish) but simple and fun

OR

2.
Sorcerer (Fire probably) + Enchanted Shield = 115
Nurgle Chariot = 125
5 x Warhounds = 30
Chimera = ***

I think I could probably hide the sorcerer in with the hounds, not ideal but just so he doesn't get blown away by some lowly bs shooting, and/or hide him behind the chariot or in a building or something.

The 1000 point versions would probably include a level 2 with familiar, chimera, 3 skull crushers and more warriors.
There we go, what do we think?

We think both lists will do fine. The chimera will basically kill an entire 500 point army on its own if you're careful with its crappy leadership. You can't hide the sorceror with the hounds, he won't get a LoS as he's a different type. At that point level you should be able to hide him somewhere with terrain and his high armor will make him difficult to take out anyway. Again, just watch out for chimera's leadership.

If you want to go the Warriors route, give them halberds or great weapons once you reach 1000 points. At 500 you'll be facing smaller infantry most likely, which they're solid enough against with sword and shield. See my post in the Tactics forum for a rundown of marks and gear loadouts. Also, yes, I'd go FIre with your level 1 casters in either case. Fireball is always nasty at low point levels. Sneak in a Ruby Ring of Ruin for cheese points, too.

Thanks for the input

I like the Chimera list, I feel a bit 'naked' without in infantry block but whatever it'll be fine.
I do think halberd are great but i'm just going to stick with the shields, just to make them as anvil like as possible.

If I choose the chariot/chimera list the 1000 point list will be sort of like;

Level 2 with enchanted shield (probably stay with fire, depending on the meta) = 150
11 warriors w/ shield and standard = 175
5 x warhounds = 30
1 x Nurgle chariot = 125
Chimera with flaming breath and regeneration = 275
3 x skullcrushers w/ standard or musician, (haven't decided yet, what do you think?) = 244
