The character builds you have here are pretty good, so I wouldn't change much there.
Wulfrik is a ton of fun, but he really shines when you throw him in a unit of like 30 marauders - something that the enemy simply cannot ignore if they want to win. I also prefer my two hand weaponed warriors with the mark of Khorne for a front rank with 4 attacks each, but nurgle is always a solid pick for the -1 to hit.
War hounds die to everything- you're better off using 2 units of 5 either naked or with vanguard to push forward and march block/ redirect your opponent. They also give you two drops so you can out deploy your enemy.
Looks like a solid start though dude!

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Nick - I was actually planning on running two sets of five war hounds to control the movement phase. For the khorne warriors, seems like it would then be best to run them 6 wide instead of 5 to maximize the attacks. Also, it would help to ensure the first round of combat is won granted they are matched up correctly. One more thing, thing the knights would be better split up running two sets of 5?

Splitting the knights would let you go after more targets at once, but it would mean losing even one would hurt a lot. It depends on what you want them to do. Have you thought about using the banner of swiftness on a block of ten to make them m8? I love that banner on heavy cavalry.

Good thinking CJ. I'm going to leave them as a group of 10 and give them the banner of swiftness. Since I have three chariots with my list, I don't find much of a need to have 5 separate supporting units. Instead, keeping the knights as a group of 10 will allow me to not worry about them panicing and running off the table it they take two wounds

Additionally, having the group of 10 means that you have a TON of threats the enemy wants to take out, but he'll be hard pressed to hit them all - if he focuses on the knights, then the warriors are going to get in nearly unscathed, and vice versa. Run the knights up a flank and try to hit the sides of enemy units once they've gotten locked in with warriors.
Definitely go 6 wide on warriors - of all types. We have the single best core unit in the game per point, and the more you get in contact with the enemy the better; we thrive on breaking units in 1-2 rounds of combat rather than protracted engagements, so getting those extra attacks and killing off a few more enemies per turn will be key.
This makes me want to play my warriors again! AH I've got the fantasy bug!

I'll definitely try running them six wide then. Also, I'm looking forward to seafang with Wukfrik and putting some marauders in my opponents deployment zone on turn two (hopefully), allowing my warriors to get even closer!
Do it Nick! Gotta love WoC

Yup, and that's with the mark of Nurgle. Definitely worth the points
