You've filled out a Black Crusade Detachment. You're using 2 Core Choices in a 2500pt game. You're taking more than minimum options for units that are not optimal. You've got your detachments set up wonky. Let's straighten it out.

First, you should decide what you want to take -- Maelstrom of Gore or Chaos Warband. In a 2500pt game, you're dedicating more than 1000pts in sub optimal units, and have no real way to deal with anything you might be facing at this points level.

How are you planning on dealing with Superheavys? Multiple Knights or Multiple Wraithknights?

What about Psychic Defense? You are almost completely Khorne in your Marks -- why not use Khorne Daemonkin at 2500pts instead?

Chopping out one of your Core Choices down to the minimum and filling in with effective units would be the best possible suggestion I could give you. Recommendations?

In the Helforged Warpack, take 4 Maulerfiends and 1 Helbrute (or 5 Maulerfiends). Find a way to put in a Air Superiority Detachment with 2+ Heldrakes -- you have no way to deal with MSU Marines like the Gladius.

Consider a Renegade Knight, or at least a group of Psykers -- you can take 6 Psykers in a Chaos Warband! That's 18+d6 Warp Charges and 18 possible different Psychic Abilities! There's almost no reason to take a Warband without coming close to maxing out your Psykers, and at 2500pts, it will give you the resiliency you'll need to deal with Superheavies.
