For fluff reasons, I would probably go with a jump pack sorcerer over a khorne lord. Night lords are not exactly the type to rush in swords blazing and go die khorne style. I know they are undivided, but they seem to be a bit more tactical in shock and awe. A sorcerers powers and boost to the raptor squad or talos would be better, and cost less. 5 khorne bezerker troops are not much anyways...you could always take them as elite if you are dead set on them. Why not just get khorne marked chaos marines with BP+CCW?

Always take 2 special weapons on your CSM squads. Veterans here is good cause it is cheap and the Ld is nice.

Raptor champs are a great place to put melta bombs. Move the gift from the champ to your lord(or sorcerer) as they will get better use from it.

Warp talons are really bad, and if you are absolutely set on using them Khorne is probably not the best way to go. Dangerous if they make it, but more of a suicide squad. More raptors would be better IMO.

Warp talons will already lay waste with no upgrades, though veterans will make them more reliable.

Why not put two special guns in the CSM squads?

If you are giving a chaos lord the mark of khorne, you better have a good reason not to give him the axe of blind fury.

You seem light on anti tank.

Yay nightlords! Good on you man.

some comments:

you're only filling half the capacity of the land raider. You're paying 230 points to get 10 units into CC reliably, but you're only taking 5. Thats a lot of wasted points.

take 2 special weapons on the CSM squads. Make sure they're the same. Consider taking icon of slannesh and icon of excess.

take 2 raptor squads with meltas. Redundancy for the redundant god!

Heldrakes are great for fluffy lists because they make any list competitive. Take 1 if not 2
