Lord 21%
Khorne Lord on Juggernaut, Shield, Favor of the Gods, and dispell scroll. 315pts
Dispell Scrolls are Arcane Items, and as such an only be taken by Wizards. The monstrous cavalry is nice, and the mount hits hard in CC, but the maximum of a 1+ Armor Save negates much of what the Juggy brought to the battle. Also, he is incredibly vulnerable to any character with any kind of killy power, so I would suggest a Chaos Runeshield or something to protect him in the eventual challenges.
Hero 11%
Champion of Khorne, hand weapon x2, Collar of Khorne, and Favor of the Gods. 159pts
Favour of the Gods can only be taken once.
Special 19%
5x Knights of Khorne, full command. 280pts
These guys just don't have the oomph they once did. No longer are we wiping out the front rank on the charge and steadfast keeps them from mowing down whole units on the charge. Not that they are bad, just make sure you keep them back for flank attacks.
Core 45%
20x Marauders of Khorne, Light Armor, Shields, Great Weapons, full command. 190pts
A lot of points for something with a 5+ save to shooting and 6+ in CC. I would take off the shields and light armor and use that to buy 8 more models (10 more, preferably.)
12x Warriors of Khorne, Shield, Hand Weapon x2, full command. 264 pts
If you have the models I would flesh these guys out to at least 15, if not 18-20.
5x Marauder Horsemen (no mark), flail, shield, throwing axe, full command. 220 pts
These guys rock woth MoK. Doubling their S5 attacks will really help them out. Also, once again keep these guys back for eventual flank charges.
10x Warhounds, scales. 70pts
Drop the scales. 6+ AS is too easily negated by anything but the most mediocre attacks
Yes, this is oddly similar to the WoC battalion boxed set, but feedback on places to trim fat and/or bulk up are appreciated. The Khorne Champion will probably hang out with the marauders to beef up their ward and magic saves. Warhounds will be cannon fodder, and the cav will hang on the flanks and support as required.
