Got a 2K tournament next month and I'm on the fence about some list fillers. So far here's what I want to bring that I have painted nicely:

Doombull (general, great axe)
Sorcerer on mount (for Daemonic Power, Oracular Visions)
Sayl the Faithless (for Traitors Mist)
Wulfrik

2x 10 Chaos Warriors (hand-weapon/shield, banner, instrument)
1x30 Marauders (axe/shield, tribal banner, damned icon, drummer)

Bullgors x6 (great weapons, instrument, icon)
Nightmaw
Gigantic Spawn[i]

That leaves me with 340 points.

I have a Dragon Ogre Shaggoth along with 3 Dragon Ogres w/ War-glaives (for the 2" range and rend -1). They have a lot of wounds and can probably get healed over and over but of course must get stuck in to do damage or just sit on an objective.

Or I also have Galrauch for extra wizardry. I haven't ever tried Galrauch, seems pricy for 10 wounds, though he does put out some good ranged death if he can get in range.

Another option would be a Hellcannon and 2 Familiars to aid the other sorcerers and provide artillery support. The Hellcannon has proven pretty useful at least half the time, except it's super easy to kill the crew and leaving it to become a mad-dog who can't shoot.

Lastly I have a unit of 3 Plague Toads, and with them I could toss in Skarr Bloodwrath and Scyla just to fill points evenly (these guys are already painted). Plague Toads were a super resilient objective sitter when I tried them. I kinda like that aspect of them. Skarr is fun because he comes back! Scyla can deny powers unlimitedly if in range.

Maybe a different combo would be best to cover my bases? Perhaps Plague Toads, Familiars, and a Shaggoth (who is pretty much equal to 2 regular Dragon Ogres).

Thanks for any advice!
