I'm guessing that you just plan to run Kharn in one of them Berserker Marine squads? I did that once and I won't do it again. They're incredibly overpriced; Khorne Marines with extra CCW's end up being cheaper and can shoot as well as melee when required. Just pick up Terminators if you really want a retinue for him.

Have you thought about switching kb into 10 csm, MoK, IoW, ccw+, 2 meltaguns, meltabomb and combi melta riding in rhino, dirge caster and combi melta? They will pop transport n charge the enemy occupants.

OK i can give it a try...well here is my set up for the Khorne marines...... 8x marines (keep it fluffy) MoK, icon of wrath, one metla gun , replace bolter
Ccw and melta bomb it comes out to 165 the only reason I don't put them in rhinos you cant assault after you disembark.. and with the land raider I can disembark pop there transport then assault the guys inside all in one turn

And for the terminators idea what would be a good weapon load out

I wouldn't escort Kharn with a Terminator unit unless you have little care for their longevity (i.e. combi-weapons only) to shoot prior to an assault and/or let him charge solo. They are overpriced to take wounds when Kharn rolls poorly, but you would give into Khorne's desire for blood to be spilled, regardless of the source.

Oh OK... what about the set up for the Khorne marine

I disagree with CSM over bezerkers. I personally rate bezerkers very highly. You don't need an icon for any bonuses (which are lost if the icon bearer dies), their weapon skill is worse, and they're not fearless. Stick to your guns and run bezerkers. That's what I do. My core is 2 x 8 bezerkers, kharn and two land raiders and I have had a lot of success. (used all the upgrade kits from forge world too. Love it!) then I added in some maulerfiends. A lot of fast combat fun.

I was thinking taking out the vindicater and add a maulerfiend

berzerkers are good, except when you mass em up. I charged 8 of them from LR and killed a squad of 6 termies,(i bought the veterans of the long war paired up with furious charge so he had 24 wounds to save)before they got to strike back.
the rest was 2 squads of fauxzerkers in rhinos, both rhinos and csm had meltas and combi meltas and juggerlord with khorne biker retinue. Also think about investing some points in obliterators, deep strike them and blow up an IK/some AV14 vehicle.

The mauler is cheaper than the vindicator, faster, and less of a threat to your own.

Let me put it this way, you want to make combat as fast as you can. A mauler wants to do the same along side you. And with Magma cutters is a pretty exceptional anti Armour weapon. A vindicator wants to drop large blast templates. If you're trying to make combat and one of those templates scatters a little too far in the shooting phase... You could be losing models before you make combat....
