So all the sorcerors go into the chaos warriors unit, giving them a 4+ ward save, a MR of 2, and +2 to cast all their spells. Wulfric and the Ogres come in behind enemy lines to take out warmachines. The knights of khorne do what knights of khorne have always done. And the marauders just try not to die too badly.

I'm really not a fan of the lances on the knights. Losing magic attacks can be a burden in some cases, although you do have the magic backbone to deal with those types of units.

I'd drop lances on one unit to give MoSlaanesh to the Marauder units or chaos armor/some command upgrades to the ogres.

the reason lances are preferable to ensorcelled weapons is that in the vast majority of cases cavalry are most effective on the charge. if they fail to do sufficient damage to them on the turn they charge it is too easy for them to become bogged down in protracted combats and lose to greater numbers. chaos knights are especially subject to this, as a fear causing unit with 2 S6 attacks each on the charge will break and run down most enemies.it also measn that you can charge those large units of durable infanty and have a chance of breaking them.

You can argue it etither way - against WE, undead (VC, TK) and any army with lots of T3 light infantry (elves) the ensorcelled weapons are better. Its only against T4 troops with a 4+ or better save, or against enemy cavalry (and even then, ONLY on the charge) that lances are better.

the whole point of enscorcelled weapons is to ensure that if they do get bogged down they arent overcome by superior numbers, and they can take a charge from enemy knights, most of which are only S5 on the charge.

Wulfrik can't bring ogres in from a different table edge... only marauders.

Also, consider dropping a unit of knights. Add 1 extra knight to the other two units. Add banners and musicians. Give one unit of knights a mark of nurgle and a Banner of Rage.

Consider dropping the ogres entirely and maybe taking 3-4 units of dogs to help with your frenzied units and protect against shooting.

The above post contains must wisdom.
