Well if you are using points & allegiance that will be matched play; open play is just putting down whatever you want. Accordingly you'll need to have two battleline choices for 1500 points.

Thanks! So if i have allegiance and points, i need battlelines, however theres no cavalry battlelines as far as i can see, so that makes this list impossible?

Without going into Slaves of Darkness allegiance yeah, it basically won't work :(

If you are very into your theme you CAN make an all-cavalry army by limiting your force to just Slaves to Darkness models; this makes both marauder horsemen and chaos knights battleline. However, to do this means you could not use any skullcrushers, varanguard, lords of khorne, etc.
I just realized there is another option; Mortal Khorne allegiance will allow you to get Skullcrushers as battleline, but that means limiting your army to only non-daemon Khorne units. Chaos Knights and such would be fine since they can be marked Khorne to gain the keyword, but Varanguard would not.
Either way, something you could do is get a box of varanguard and use them to convert your mounted characters out of.

They're only Battleline if the army has the Everchosen allegiance. That limits you to Archaon, the Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch and Varanguard.

Thanks for all the replies, this is all pretty confusing, i did read a lot of the rules and stuff, but its a lot to wrap my head around. As far as ive gathered, chaos knights can be marked with khorne keyword, so i can run them and skullcrushers as battleline, having 3 units of skullcrushers with lord of khorne make for brass stampede. Decided on dropping the Varanguard, after reading more into it, they seem to be a point waste, especially without the archaon. Such a shame, since they are such awesome models and already have a box of them.
New list, had to drop some models from one skullcrusher unit because taking the battalion took me over the point max.

That's a legal army. You'll want to give the skullcrushers glaives for the rend though.

Now you just need to fight a Stormcast Calvary army, I feel like that's the next step...

IronDerp - good point, i feel like the list is a bit too situational and specific.... So i decided on taking the common ground and adding a footman battleline. I also added the Archaon, the everchosen as a commander instead of lord of khorne, since i found out how super good his command ability is, although costly, and made me hit the 2000pts mark.

You can try trading the mighty skullcrushers for some Varanguard if you feel like it, they get empowered if Archaron is on the field and he can turn them into Khorne Units so they can benefit from the Khorne lord... Give them Enscrolled weapons or Daemonforged blades and they just murder.

oh, so the older, horse mounted model of the archaon works the same way with varanguard as t he new one? didnt know that. This would actually work so good in many ways, since with archaon they can be marked khorne, therefore getting all the buffs from lord of khorne and aspiring deathbringer

Allright, so this is closing in on a final army list, thank you all so much for the help, couldntve done this without you! Plan is to buff the everloving gak out of my bloodreavers, and tie up enemy units, while cavalry flanks, and varanguard take on enemy leaders and big monsters.

Hey mate, that new list looks really good actually. The one problem that hurts is reavers are now 70pts since the Blades of Khorne book, but the general's handbook (and battlescribe) hasn't updated that. In my opinion it makes building lists really painful now, as that small increase causes far too many lists to be juuust over the points limit. Very frustrating
