I've attempted to make a FMC heavy Chaos Daemons army list, but my concerns are how well i can keep Skarbrand up and getting into close combat making use of the invisibility from Be'lakor.

Skarbrand - 225
Kairos Fateweaver - 300

Pink Horrors of Tzeentch - 100
Icon
Bloodletters of Khorne - 120
Icon, Instrument

Daemon Prince - 355
DoT, 1x Greater Rewards, Grimoire, Armour, Flight, ML 3

Be'lakor - 350

Cultists - 50

Thoughts and Opinions?

Edit: Changed to different 1500 point list.

I'm not a massive fan of the khorne daemon prince - the lack of any ranged attacks is pretty crippling, although with Skarbrand it could be a lot of fun.
Personally I'd prefer to spend the points on a nice big unit of flesh hounds - grimoire / invis them up and go to town on things.

If you're going for a slaanesh theme with the khorne then daemonettes are probably the better choice for troops. It'll also give you a few more points leftover... Otherwise, I'd be tempted to put a portalglyph on your khorne daemon prince to get a few more troops.

I'm getting Be'lakor myself tomorrow, so will test him on Thursday and see how he runs!

Tbh, i think i'd actually prefer other DP's other then Khorne as well, but i'd just always had everything Khorne. But how do you think it'd run if instead of the Slaanesh DP HQ, i take instead a Kairos with my Skarbrand, then use the 40 additonal points to upgrade my Khorne DP to a Tzeentch one?

I think Kairos would be more competitive and you'd be better off with some tzeentch daemon princes... Although I love the Slaanesh DP... tough choice!

The tzeentch DP's will also be a better choice to take the Grimoire as they're a little more resilient and don't rely on getting into combat to do damage.

Again, it depends how themed you want your army.
