You'll not fit a Gorepack and the Butcherhorde in 1500 points and have the Butcherhorde be of any use, Because you're limited to 4 squads of marines and 4 squads of bezerkers.
Those cultists really aren't helping. An icarus lascannon isn't going to be enough to fend off anyone anti-aircraft heavy, and you should probably be able to find enough cover to hide one or two squads without needing an aegis line.
I'd suggest dumping the combined arms detachment entirely - use the points to bulk out the bezerker squads. Yes, Kharn's there but you've still only got 20 marine forming your main 'punch'. Despite the Butcherhorde's nasty command benefits that's not enough.
If you want a backfield presence, then keep bolters on the chaos marine squads. If they're footslogging it up the board you'll get more use out of them, and with the mark of khorne they're still okay in the first round of combat even without chainswords.
Veterans of the Long War..... depends how often you play space marines. It's a waste of points on bezerkers against anyone else, because you don't need that leadership boost. More importantly, it's a complete waste on whichever unit Kharn leads, because his warlord trait will confer Hatred (Everybody). Dropping Veterans Of The Long War is worth another couple of bezerkers in the fighting units, which helps make them a more credible threat.
