I think the extra Warriors would serve you best. The horse men are chaff. Don't pour more points into them than you need to.

Your BSB seem a bit vulnerable to me, especially if you're thinking of using a halberd on him. If I were you I'd drop the halberd and rely on his Tzeentchian 5+ parry. Same goes for your warrior block. Tzeentchian warriors are best with sword n' board imo. They already have a decent dmg output as base and with 5+ parry they're just a super tough nut to crack. Regarding your Sorc. Lord, I myself don't usually pick a dispell scroll below 2000 points game but it's definitely worth the spot as it might save you from losing the game. The lore of death as a lore excel on a fast moving sorcerer due to the relativly short ranges of the spells but it's still a good pick on a foot slogging wizard.
If I were to do some changes to your list I'd field something along the lines of:
+ Lords +
Chaos Sorcerer Lord [305pts]: Lore of Death, Wizard Level 4 . Magic Items: BRB - Enchanted Shield, BRB - Talisman of Endurance
+ Heroes +
Exalted Hero [211pts]: Disc of Tzeentch, Halberd, Mark of Tzeentch . Chaos Mutations & Powers: Third Eye of Tzeentch . Magic Items: BRB - Talisman of Preservation
Exalted Hero [158pts]: Battle Standard Bearer, Mark of Tzeentch, Shield . Magic Items: BRB - Dragonhelm
+ Core +
Chaos Warriors [266pts] . Champion . 13x Chaos Warrior: 13x Mark of Tzeentch, 13x Shields . Musician . Standard Bearer: BRB - Banner of Swiftness
Marauder Horsemen [90pts]: Musician . 5x Marauder Horsemen: 5x Shields, 5x Spears
Marauder Horsemen [90pts]: Musician . 5x Marauder Horsemen: 5x Shields, 5x Spears
+ Special +
Chaos Trolls [105pts]: 3x Chaos Troll
Chimera [275pts]: Flaming Breath, Regenerating Flesh
++ Total: [1500pts] ++

That actually looks pretty good to me. The only thing I might change would be to add a Charmed Shield on the Hero on Disk. It's only to save him from the first cannon shot. He wouldn't use it in CC anyway.

What do people think about shields on marauders horsemen? They don't get parry anyway and most shootings have at least -1 modifier so it will not save much anyway. I am thinking about skipping shields to save points and keep chaff cheaper. But maybe those 5 points are worth it? I am planning on running the BSB with the warriors so will hoping for lookout sir rolls for it. I am thinking of using double magic banners though. Not sure if swiftness or eternal flame is the way as I need more anti regen stuff (only flame breath so far. I am not skipping Blasted standard as in no games so far the Warriors have reached a target before dying without it and for me, that's why I run Tzeentch from the beginning. My Trolls are on purchasing hold right now but will probably get 6 forgeworld trolls next year.

My Trolls are on purchasing hold right now but will probably get 6 forgeworld trolls next year. The one time I've used Marauder Horsemen I equipped them with flails instead of shield and/or spear. Bear in mind though that the shield + mounts would give them a 5+ armour save that might come in handy. The only scenario were I would even consider equipping my BSB with a magical banner would be if I went with a Tzeentchian 5+ parry build for him.

I'd probably go with the Banner of swiftness instead of the Eternal Flame. You NEED to get them in CC quickly all the time, but you might need to cancel regen only a small portion of the time. And even if you do need anti-regen, like you said, you have the Chimera's breath attack.
And I'd rather give my disk hero a Charmed Shield than give one group of Horsemen Shields. He's worth so much more (in both points and strategy).
