I like it. At 1800pts I dont much fancy taking on Chaos too often!
One question is though. What's the advantage of two small WoC units rather than a larger one?

The mob I play are really adept at channeling and re-directing units, especially hordes. This way I try to keep some tactical mobility (I hope). |

Ah ok. One other thought. Could you not add on a Dragonbane gem or something similar for the 5 points you have spare? Probably wont do a lot but it's there it needs be!

hmmm... I love small groups of knights, but I'd try to fit in a Mok, or even the MoS if points are an issue, that way you prevent a panic check from ruining your life if they take any casualties from magic or shooting. And FYI Ensorcelled Weapons are statistically better than lances in the long run.
Consider MoK or MoN on the ogres as well... the first ups their attack output and the seconds helps with surviving combat, you can make a case for both if you are using GWs with their low WS.

I know you love your Ogres - how set are you on using them? They're weak in a WoC army, as regular Warriors do the job more efficiently. Trolls then deal with armour better (and are tougher to kill), and Dragon Ogres offer a more mobile high strength option.

I really like the idea of the enscrolled weapons and Mark of Khorne on the ogres  |

I might have to see if one of my mates has any to spare on the day. With the Dragon ogres I would have to take out a second mortgage to get some. |

They basically vomited a steam tank to destruction |

Have you considered switching out the BSB's sword and the Tzeentchian Warriors Banner for the Ironcurse Icon on the BSB?
My experience with Warriors (especially with shields) is that they are next to impervious to missile fire and with the MoT that would give them a 5+ Wardsave against artillery which should be good enough to take away most of the hurt from organ guns and stone throwers.
Replacing his Talisman of Preservation with the cheaper Dawnstone would also save you a couple of points while simulatenously making the most of his mark, provided that you remove his magic weapon. You could then provide him with a Potion of Strength to use when something needs killing.
