I have two exalted hero models on foot and was wondering on which magical items I should give them? And how to use them to full advantage. Should I place them in a unit or leave them on there own?

I have the two sorcerers to defend against heavy magic armies. My army is for heavy combat so my hero's will need to be deadly in combat and have a good defence.

My army so far

1 lord on jugger
1 mounted Sorceror
1 sorceror
1 exalted hero
1 exalted hero

15 chosen
12 chaos warriors
20 maruders
10 warhounds

7 chaos knights
7 marauder horsemen.

I plan on getting more infantry soon, maybe a demon prince and some spawn!

Thank you for reading and any advice you can give me.

This is not a rules question - I would suggest closing this and posting it in the Tactics subforum.

Im not sure how many combos can be easily fitted into 50 points for them to be really deadly yet have good defence ,
so i'll list the gears that i think are very good ( and you mix match them yourself hehe )

Armor of Damnation
Chaos Rune Shield
Armor of Morrslieb ( with Mark of Nurgle , this thing is super o_o )

Bloodcurdling Roar
Blasphemous Amulet ( cant remember if none caster can take Talisman items )

One thing I like to have...One exalted with shield and Bloodskull pendant...Another with MoT, Book of Secrets and Bronze armor. Bloodcurdling roar on one.

Get the default shadow spell with the book and throw the 1st one at a unit 3 strength 8kb hits each round with a 2+ save
