I am using the gargants as allies. They work great with my slaves to darkness, very good vs infantery but be sure to hit first and ask questions later (very fluffy imho). they don't do well against shooty armies but well... can't have it all.
The varanguard on the other side seem quite awful to me... Way better to get 10 chaos knights (or 2x5) (for 20 pts more, they got cheaper too) then 3 varanguard. that is 30 wounds vs 16. The knights can even take the same mark and benefit from abilities from heroes from the main factions allegiance. I give them glaives to be murderous on the charge. Just be sure to retreat them when necessary so that they do not become tarpitted.
