Couple of pointers:

-You would really benefit from at least some magic defense. Adding a scroll caddy bray-shaman would be a good choice. Hhe can go & hang out with the herd, and with braystaff, he can even fight a bit.

-5 Minotaurs is not a good unit size, as the 5th one won't get to fight. 4 With banner should be fine instead.

You could drop the giant to get the scroll caddy and 4th dragon ogre for example. Bear in mind also, that people won't get look-out-sir in the 5-strong knight unit
if there's a champ present there (I'd say cut him anyways, knight-champion upgrades are very rarely worth it).

Good luck convincing the people at my store about that knight look out sir rule. They're all convinced that you get look out sir as long as there are five models period, champion or no.

Yeah I was thinking drop the giant and something else for a scroll caddie. Other feedback suggests I should take more advantage of Slaanesh spawn and the awesome magic lore. I like the lore but generally dislike magic in WFB since it's so random.

Drop the champ upgrade anyways, 20 pts for 1 extra str5 attack isn't worth it.

Slaneeshi magic is indeed great, but getting it is very expensive. If you try to squeeze moderate/heavy magic into your list, it's gonna need some serious tweaking (you got room probably for just 1 fighty character etc.).

The army looked decent enough before I realised it has no dispel scrolls. If you ignore the magic defence this army will only make you miserable. It won't be pretty to watch all your precious elite units vaporise to Warp Lightnings etc.

Really the only way to go for a really hitty but balanced Chaos army is to use Knights of Khorne. They have the potential to cause damage but also benefit you defensively in the magic phase. Additionally you will need a Bray-Shaman with two scrolls, or a Beastlord with Staff of Change.

Beastherd 12 Gors with Extra Hand Weapons/8 Ungors, Full command

What's the point of having more Gors than Ungors? Ungors are cheap ablative wounds to shooting and provide a cheaper rank bonus. I wouldn't take more than 7-8 Gors to a unit of any size.

i would take loads and loads of maruders and drop the beastmen and take more magic because the slannesh magic is so awsome! the exalted champions is not great they should be lessed pumped up.

I am looking at this army and from what I can see it will suffer 2 main issues.

1st and most important you have no hammer. There is nothing in this list that can go toe to toe with what will be fielded in a 2000 point tournament list. For starters what is your plan to deal with a Greater Daemon or even a Daemon Prince for that matter? A 2nd Gen Slaan? Oldblood on a Carnasaur?

2nd you have no anti horde capability. With only the unit of Furries to run behind enemy lines (if they survive that long) you can't win a war of attrition. Your main arsinal is a 5 man unit of knights that will fall to almost any warmachine in the game and then you are out 300+ Points and are left with low armor mosters that will do litte more than get locked in with unit after unit that will only cost the horde player 60 points.

You need to play on your opponents leadership for an army like this to win. you also need to have a highly mobile threat that can and will survive more than one round of combat with any of the Big and Nasties out there.

nice list
