I was thinking about running some knights with a simple cheap hq and some marauder horse men something like this


HQ:sorcerer,chaos steed-101

C:marauder Horsemen-65
C:marauder Horsemen-65

S:Chaos Knights-200

Total=431

You will have better luck getting responses if you post that in the warhammer 40k section

sorry about that earlier mistake my bad I thought I was in 40k but now that is fixed

That looks like a fairly hard list for 500 points.
At 500 points I doubt you will be coming up against anything that will be able to take down chaos knights, let alone withstand a charge from them.

Find one point somewhere and put two units of five hounds in and then it will be perfect. Ah you couldnt find single point in here!!! Holy crap... then maybe one bigger unit.

By the powers of the tweak ..........

H: Sorcerer - roar, steed = 121
C: 5 Horsemen - musician = 71
C: 5 Horsemen - musician = 71
C: 5 Warhounds = 30
S: 5 Knights = 200

Using up your extra points for the puppies, some music and some yelling on the sorc. I'm in an escalation league right now and my level 1 + roar (on disc) has cleaned up pretty handily. The last 7 points might go to giving a horse unit something (spears or armor), or a 6th puppy, or biting blade on the sorc ...

Hardy little list though, nice.

I dunno.

Seems a wee bit fragile, but I'm not one for All-Cav, of course.

Players with a warmachine will kill the knights and they'll out-res your cav with maybe a rank or so.

He will just avoid the warmachine. Key is to have hounds to deploy them first.

The amount of death the knights deal out usually combats the res anyway, well that's what I have found anyway, so he doesn't have that much of a problem.

True, but what happens against a list like this?

Runesmith-72
Shield

10 Quarellers-120
Shields

10 Warriors-115
Shields
Full Command

Bolt Thrower-70

Organ Gun-120

This list has enough DD (5) to counter your wizard, plus it will focus on shooting the knights, then killing anything else either in the shooting or combat phase.

Assuming the Organ Gun, BT, and Quarellers are on a hill, of course, but this isn't something that would be hard to achieve.

I'm with Salvage's list, however. Looks quite solid.
