pretty much the plan is go over there and beat face with my awesome red and gold/bronze armor and some marauders and wulfrik sneaking in the back

Only 5 chosen? whats the point of taking them as they wil not achieve anything at

IMO Warriors are great but discard the Chosen and spend the points on more Marauders or Warriors, because the WoC are under powered with only 18. I don't have the Codex, but I've seen some devastating power from the Sorcerers. They're the only shooting WoC get, Hellcannon excluded. Wulfrik the Wonderer isn't really necessary and spend the points on other things. More Chaos Knights. Solid List though.
If this sounds offensive, it ain't meant to be, just helpful.

I amnot saying you need a sorceror but expect and uphill battle for your part.

I'd split that unit of marauders into two blocks of 20. And if you don't have a sorcerer, expect your enemy start casting their more powerful spells without hinder.

I like the 40 man block with Wulfrik. Considering the limited mobility and lack of casting from your ranks, the 40 man unit from the table edge should be helpful.

Get rid of banner of the gods. 125 points is just way too much. For 50 less you can give all your enemies -1 ld which may work well in tandem with the wailing standard. That one leadership can make a big difference. I would say take blasted standard but if you are being strict with theme then it is a no go.

I would either drop the knights or the chosen and use the points from one block to fuel the size of the other.

If you insist on using the 5 man chosen block, be sure to use something other than the great weapons. Great weapons work better on larger units that live long enough to strike back. That squad will die before it gets in.

On your lord, consider not taking a shield. You already have a 1 up armor without it. Armor of morrslieb instead could get you a 4 up ward vs non magical and since you already have MR on your juggernaut that could be cool. Also, I would get rid of axe of khorne. Overcosted. Swap for sword of anti-heroes. As you want him in big fights you will almost always be getting at least one additional attack and strength, sometimes multiple.
