Welcome to warriors!

Your list is a good start but at 800pts your not going to get alot I'm afraid! However the world of Chaos will provide!

I cannot stress how important marks for your units are, they are game changing! Warrior core is a great start, typical builds are Nurgle + halberds/greatweapons (harder to hit so utilise strength bonuses), Tzeentch + shields (3+ armour and a 5+ parry save) or khorne + halberds (blenders, absolute blenders)

Marauders in this edition aren't great, we have access to some phenomenal units let's use them!

First of all you need to decide what God like the feel for and then go crazy! Here's what I would run!

Festus - XXX

17 warriors of Chaos, Mark of Nurgle, Halberds, Standard, Musician, Banner of leadership - 415

Gorebeast chariot, Mark of Nurgle - 140

5 chaos hounds - 30

You have a horribly hard unit of warriors with -1 to hit (6x3) with a incredible lvl 2 mage, fantastic lore giving the unit poison and regen 5+!

Then a tanky chariot T6 with W5

And finally cheap dogs for a drop and redirectors

Hmmm, I am a big tzeentch fan so I'll look at that or khorne. Thanks

Drop the vanguard on the dogs because its pointless and give your wizard some armour.

Agreed with above. Drop vanguard, it's a waste of points. 800 points isn't really a lot to work with for warriors, so I'd recommend taking one block of 18 (and I'm not a fan of sword and board Tzeentch, but read my other post in this forum for details if you want elaboration, won't press it). Use the extra points to snag a chariot or maybe some chaos knights of Tzeentch, if you want to keep your Tzeentchy theme. As it stands you have no killing power.

(edit)

18 so you can run them 6 wide. I suppose you could have 17 and tuck the sorceror in there. But yes, give him armor. Enchanted Shield is dirt cheap and an awesome upgrade for him. Sword of change won't be worth it.

This guy above me has the right idea. Give your sorceror the enchanted shield and maybe a dawnstone for a rerollable 2+. Stick him in a block of 17 warriors with standard and champion.
Maybe take a khorne chariot with the points left over for some hitting power?

OK so,

What do you think know?

Make sure your warriors have shields and your knights have Ensorcelled weapons!

Drop a warrior and the champion from the knights for those shields and ensorcelled weapons if you have to.
Any idea where you want to go next??

Looking better... but honestly at this point level that festus, warriors, gorebeast and dogs is a sick list. You would struggle not to do well with it. Festus is awesome, nurgle warriors are beast and gorebeast chariots of nurgle are disgustingly good. whatch your opponents look of horror when he just... can't .... kill ...it.

Well if you want to expand with Khorne then you can't go wrong with some skullcrushers. Take 3 with ensorcelled weapons for a tough unit that hits like a ton of bricks
