It would cost a few more points, but I think your Khorne warrior would benefit more from Halberds than AHW, you only lose a few attacks (leaving you with 20 instead of 25 if you run them with a frontage of 5) that will instead hit at S5
Otherwise you'll be lacking in killing power outside of your Lord and Shaggoth, bad idea if facing heavily-armoured foes
Might want a dispell scroll as well
You lack chaff / chaff hunting. A sneaky opponent will just make most of your army run in circles

Apart from that, I'm not very knowledgeable on Chaos, so it's just generic advice

Your characters all seem very squishy. I know you can't give your lord a ward, but you could give him a shield / charmed shield and dragonbane gem or seed of rebirth / MoT / Shield.

Similarly for your sorc and BSB.

What are the banners that you BSB and Skullcrushers have? They aren't in the BRB or in the WoC book...

Have you given a thought to running 2 units of 30 warriors, instead of 3, you could run them 6 wide and 5 deep. For you Lord, I would recommend some defensive stuff, such as a talisman of preservation or an enchanted shield to have him survive in those "oh crap" moments.

3 blocks, monster, and monstrous cav is at a big risk for redirection.
I'd drop a nurgle block and pick up 2 units of 5 mounted marauders of slaanesh with flails, 3 units of 5 choas hounds, and a chariot.

Having 2 blocks monstrous cav, a monster, and lots of chaff is better than the 3/2 you have now.


Oh, halberds on nurgle warriors pretty seems to be the way to go.
