Please remove itemized point costs. It is against forum rules.

For example write your Lord like this:

Chaos Lord: 165 pts.
-Mark of Khorne
-Terminator Armor
-Ax of Blind Fury
-Gift of Mutation
-Veteran of the Long War

Your termie lord will have a tough time walking imho, also 5 raptors and 5 warptalons is a little low unless you plan the raptors to just drop and melta some vehicle on the back then they are fine, the talons however a squad of 5 seems like a little low to me.

At 1500 points... I think 2 HQs is too much, the troops look good maybe add some meltabombs just in case they get charged by some walker/MC.

The helbrute... i think i'd drop him to beef up your talons if he goes by himself he'll be the first one to get shot. Maybe spend those points on another thing :S

If I had to drop my Night Lords list to 1500 I guess i'd go for something like this might give you some ideas:

HQ

Lord - MoN, Jump Pack, Power Fist, Lightning Claw, Blight Grenades, Sigil, VotLW

(It's a little expensive but by attaching this to the warptalons you give them fearless so that your really expensive unit of daemon raptors don't run away, besides that attaching a lord will let the talons assault through cover without the I1 penalty, the blight grenades also prevent them to suffer much dmg when being assaulted, and besides it makes your lord immune to instant death due to power fists/lascannons/etc)

Troops

10x CSM, Champ w/melta-bombs & Power sword, 2xplasmas, VotLW, Rhino

10x CSM, Champ w/melta-bombs & Power sword, 2xplasmas, VotLW, Rhino

10x CSM, Champ w/melta-bombs & Power sword, 2xflamers, VotLW, Rhino w/Dirge caster

(The idea is to move the rhinos along with the raptors/talons so that they get cover and minimize the dmg while as well move forward your plasma troops to battle midfield, the flamer ones would be decked with CCW instead of bolters so that they can assault your opponents end table, if their rhino survives the dirge caster will reduce losing any model to overwatch)

Fast

8x Raptors - Champion w/Melta-Bombs & Powersword, 2xmeltas, VotLW

8x Warptalons - MoN, VotLW

Heldrake - Baleflamer

(The raptors are mainly trying to distract some fire power from the talons while at the same time shooting at either termies or trying to open key enemy vehicles, the talons with MoN is just to give them an extra resistance against bolter like weapons minimizing again your losses on your expensive unit, the heldrake pretty basic, deal with enemy flyers and spray some AP3 death on any objective controlling troop)

Total: 1499

I think this is pretty night lordish as the whole army keeps moving, there will be nothing left on your side of the table it's all about storming the enemy and selecting which units will the waraptalons take out and which will be shot to death by the plasma squads.

If you are curious on my 2000 points I dropped the plasma rhinos as they usually give first blood but added 2 helbrutes and a maulerfiend, replaced the raptors with 8 bikes and the flamer squad for plague marines in a rhino, hoping to achieve target saturation, having 2 helbrutes, a rhino with plasma plague marines, a 12" moving maulerfiend, 8 bikes, 10 warptalons and a lord it should make the opponent focus on one of them while letting the other ones reach their targets on the other side of the table.

Thanks for the massive amount of help, Lord Yayula. I'm really loving the list you put together and i'd love to use some of its ideas. Im not 100% on the idea of the rhinos, but my friend is giving me two chaos rhinos he does not use, so that would be a great way to utilize them. Also, i would like to keep the Helbrute, as I want to use as much as the Dark vengeance set as possible, do you recommend I add another one? Also I like the idea of adding more Talons and raptors. I still want to use the Cultists in some way, so I might keep some of them in. Also, is there a way I can incorporate a Land Raider into this? I have access to one, and i would like to use it. Lastly, I'm thinking of bumping the points up by adding a Mauler/Forgefiend into the list, does that seem plausible?

I will post a revised list with some of the changes you have recommended later.
