Hi there can you help me out!

I have the basics for my 1500 pts Tzeentch/Khorne army but I need help with the completion. I have no clue n what upgrades to take or not.
This is the list for now:

HQ1:
- Faithweaver 300 pts
HQ2:
- Skulltaker 100 pts
- Karanak 120 pts
- The changeling 75 pts (may be replaced by a Herald of Tzeentch)
T1:
- Bloodletters (10x) 100 pts
T2:
- Pink Horrors (10x) 90 pts
FA1:
- Flesh Hounds (5x) 80 pts
E1:
- Flamers (5x) 115 pts

Hv1:
- Soulgrinder +Phlegm 165 pts (because I read it is super against SM)
Hv2:
- Daemon Prince +Tzeentch +Flight +Lv2 psyker 160 pts (because this worked great fr me in CSM 5 ed)

Total so far: 1305 pts

Thanks

HQ 1: looks solid
HQ 2: you can do without these. How about a Tzeentch herald with Locus of Conjuration?
Troops are extremely light. Your opponent can take them down with little trouble. Then you've got problems. More troops. Horrors in groups of 16 are pretty solid.
Fast: 5x Khorne dogs won't do much, I'm afraid. You might want more of those. Flamers are good, depending whom you are facing.
Soul grinder is good against MEQ. They will therefore destroy it quickly, as it is your only vehicle and will bear the full fury of their anti-tank. I would consider taking two or none.
DP is ok. Not quite as good as in 5th though. Might want to give him some armor.
The trick here, as with any army, is to get the units of your force to work together, so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
For example, have the prince and the dogs, buffed by FW, assault the same unit (dogs first.) FW and the horrors pour egregious amounts of firepower into a nearby unit that your opponent was intending to use for counter-assault. Repeat as needed.

Anyway, that's one option. Hope this helps.

you need atleast another troops choice, and yea take a herald of tzeentch with level 2 and exalted locus of conjuration, and DP needs daemon of tzeentch, daemonic flight, warp-forged arour and mastery level 3 IMO. Thats how i rn mine and it works.

Switch out the Flamers for more Hounds and watch people sigh.

Soulgrinders are best when taken in pairs or 3x.

Thank for the support so far. Because these are all my models I will have to think about investing in some models like ontother soulgrinder and some Fleshhounds.
For now I'll update the list including the remarks given (thanks again)

Total so far: 1533 pts

So I'm a little over but is it getting better?
What other changes might be interesting and where can I cut in the expenses?

Thanks

Just a quick note, do not take more than one soulgrinder, as they do work with just one. As a mono daemon of tzeentch player, i know on mainly tzeentch units well, so i would say dont take the changeling at all as he is not that good,

Heres my daemon 1500pt list i use, it actually is very competitive, ive beaten helldrake spam, riptide spam, venom spam and many other lists quite comfortably.

HQ

Fateweaver 300pts

Herald of tzeentch 125pts
exalted locus of conjuration
mastery level 2
exalted reward(grimoire)

Herald of tzeentch 95pts
exalted locus of conjuration
mastery level 2

Herald of tzeentch 95pts
exalted locus of conjuration
mastery level 2

Troops

11 horrors 99pts

11 horrors 99pts

11 horrors 99pts

Elites

3 flamers 69pts

Heavy support

Soulgrinder 170pts
daemon of tzeentch
phelgm bombardment

Daemon prince 335pts
daemon of tzeentch
daemonic flight
warp-forged armour
mastery level 3
lesser reward
greater reward

the three heralds join the horrors and the grimoire is used on fateweaver for a 2++ re-rollable. the prince takes the staff of change from the lesser reward for +2 str, ap4(what becomes ap 2 because he is a MC) and concussive with warpdoom. This list really works for some reason.

So just take a look at this as inspiration hopefully.
