I agree with dropping the warshrine. I also think your list might benefit from another monster. The demon prince is a huge shooting target. As a dwarf player if the demon prince is the only monster coming at me from across the table I know that he isn't going to make it into combat with me. If there is a demon prince, a shaggoth and a giant I know that some of the monsters are going to make it into combat with me. Also, right now the demon prince and ogres are the only high strength in you army. So if the demon prince dies that only leaves the ogres to deal with high toughness/high armor enemies.
Last, I think the charmed shield would be better on the demon prince.

I like Ogres over trolls for a few reasons - - Less points Impact hits on the Charge They can get Mark of Slaanesh They can have great weapons
They lose regeneration, but... I am OK with that.

OK, so I am certainly taking:
DP 24 warriors 16 warriors 2 gorebeast chariots 8 ogres hellcannon maybe 8 forsaken
Barring that I am really struggling. I've got a number of contenders competing for a slot that's in the 220 point range: another cannon, chimera, 3 skullcrushers, 5 knights, khorne giant, and shagghoth.
Except for the second cannon (I'm currently painting it), you can see all of these units on my Khorne log. Who should I take? Consider aesthetic, synergy with the rest of my army, and competitiveness (consider this last though).
Thanks for all of the feedback so far.

+1 vote for Shaggoth. 1st Ballot. Test your opponents, see if they have a cannon! Even if they do, and they kill this big guy... that improves survivability of Grape-Ape-Mobiles and the Ogres.
Do you have a BSB? BSB on horseback leading the Ogres is a spicy meatball.
One huge -1 vote for 5 Knights. I played a unit of 5 knights this past weekend. They were THE underperformer by far.
My 2nd Ballot vote is for a Khorne Giant for INF coolness points.

I play a WoC player who usually takes 3 Skillcrushers with one BSB on a Juggernaught and let them fall in behind his lines of troops. If any of his units fled or got run down, then they'd fill the gap. The other stuff like his DP, Warbeasts, and Chariots were the advanced attackers. It was incredibly hard to beat.
BUT...I really like the idea of a Shagghoth! More target saturation.

Does the Shaggoth count as a character? Or is the DP your only one? Is he going to be your caster?

DP is my only character. Khorne does not use magic sir.

No! You take Khorne Forsaken or NO Forsaken or you have no honor! You must choose.

Then I guess I choose to have no honor...?

I like the addition of the shaggoth, he looks really cool. And also the whole point about multiple monsters that I made before. How many points to add the MoK to the Forsaken? Possible places I see to pick up these points is run the ogres with no command at all or change one gorebeast chariot to a regular chariot. What is your second gorebeast chariot mini? I think I have only ever seen the grape ape.

I'm going to use the khorne dozer as the second chariot.

The force so far...things are coming along. The flaming dudes on the left are a spawn and DP if I need them in the game. vimeo.com/1413013218 brass skulls to adorn Khorne's display:
