List 2 has the BSB having rapier of ecstasy and berserker sword with are both magic weapons, so you will need to make a change there.
All lists look interesting. I guess that not having played WoC, as yet ,I wonder whether or not lacking a level 4 caster and having no ward saves is realistic. Maybe that just me being defensive minded though, being a dwarf player and all ;D.

does the rapier of ecstasy count as a weapon?? because its a gift from the chaos gods? also if i take the 2 hand weapon thing can he have both? also magic is a huge part but the only way to make a lvl 4 caster is to make you lord the caster. and i dont like that. i have never played WoC or even seen them played but i like my armies and i cant wait to play them.

You absolutely need a lvl 4 in Warriors these days. Also, the big squads of Chaos knights don't seem to be as effective as they once were. It's easy for STR 3 shooting to force enough saves on you to make you fail some, or for a war machine to nullify your armor save. I've always found that Warriors of Chaos work most effectively as a magic heavy army with some punchy support to finish off the units you've weakened with magic already. And Hell Cannons, many Hell Cannons.

I've actually found that bigger nights are better, you can't run just 5 anymore and expect them to ive, with 10+ and MON they're going to hit combat nearly full strength and hit like a train with another rank of nights attacking.

I agree completely with Tommy's view on the knights based both playing against chaos knights and using my own dark elf CoKs. The knights provide a nice hammer unit that can be thrown into the combat with a block of marauders (who deny enemy steadfast). They will do enough active wounds to win the combat and then pursue 3d6, ensuring the enemy doesn't live to fight another day. While they are definitely not as effective as they once were due to the ranks/steadfast rule, they are still an extremely choppy unit and as well as grinding down any enemy infantry, can hold up a thunderstomping monster that would otherwise crush the infantry blocks. One change I would suggest to the banner is to use the banner of wrath vice festering shroud since it removes psychology tests from the warriors (think panic with doom and darkness on the unit!!) and gives them a lot of extra attacks in combat. The knights might also benefit from the +1" move banner but a 5+ ward never hurts.
