I want to try out a list with very little magic. I generally only play with a Lvl4 sorcerer, so this should be interesting.

Seems pretty beatstike with some decent magic offence/defence. Any thoughts?

How does the Feedback scroll work for you? Seems to be a bit of a long shot to kill the wizard off - and it still lets the spell through.

Well, with just the 2 level 2's he knows that he won't be dispelling everything that the opponent might cast. The idea is that if your opponent has a level 2 who tosses 4 or 5 dice at a spell, you can maybe kill them with it.

I am not fond of the Tzeentch mark on the Chaos Knights. As far as I remember, it gives you a 6+ ward save, which would give them a 4+ ward against shooting. Their armour will protect them from nearly all shooting with the exception of things that do not allow armour saves. However, USUALLY those things penetrate ranks. A bolt thrower, a cannonball etc. At most, they will kill 1 knight per shot. Even a stone thrower will only have S value high enough to penetrate 1 knights armour.

I just see you getting far more out of a Mark of Khorne, than the Tzeentch mark. 1 extra attack on the knights is really scary.

One other potential change could be dropping the sorc with the feedback scroll and finding a way to get a few more points to take a Hellcannon.

I agree with Lehnerr; give the knights Mark of Khorne. Maybe do the same with th warriors or maybe give them, Mark of Nurgle, making them much harder to kill. If you can, get a hellcannon.
