I don't own a warshrine or the dragon ogres, but everything else is in. I will mostly be facing Empire, Beasts of Chaos and Lizardmen but really I want a nice all-comers list that I can make Tzeentch fluffy!

The ward from gambler's armor doesn't stack with your other wards. So right now he has a 5+ or a 3+ and you use the 3+ unless the talisman gets destroyed somehow. And it's heavy armor instead of chaos armor so that's probably not an ideal choice.

The shrine sorcerer should take a scroll at least, no reason not to use the arcane slot.

Those marauders are free points for your opponent. At least give them flails so they bite back as they die.

I think I like the blasted standard on the warriors. It's too risky on the smaller units WoC commonly field but it really helps the horde.

Maybe some XHW khorne ogres to fill up the rest of your points?
Why don't the wards stack? Am I missing something vital here in the rules? Haha! Always happens!

I know flails are better but, I just can't stand the flail models and I already have a giant unit of marauders so might as well use them while I'm missing some points.

Dispel scroll will be added...

Why XHW Ogres over anything else may I ask? (Despite being on the ogre stronghold of course! ;))

See p. 44, "ward saves cannot be combined to increase the model's change of saving."

As is you have ~1000 points in core, so the marauders aren't really needed points wise. If you must take them drop the small warrior block and make them a giant horde so they have some grinding power.

I suggested ogres because you are posting on the ogre stronghold, presumably you have some available. Khorne because as listed you only have points for maybe four, and panic might be an issue so the frenzy fixes that. XHW because 5 attacks per model is just great. GW would also be good, but I prefer those in larger units where you have more attacks to even out poor to hit rolls. 

I also just noticed that chaos familiar is an arcane item, so you need to drop that or the channeling staff.
So as far as a first attempt goes... Not too successful haha! When I get a chance again tomorrow I will redo this!
