Not allowed to have more than 1 of the same magic item, so only 1 dispel scroll. And not allowed to have more than 1 of any magic item type per character, (e.g. a character can have only one magic armor, or one arcane item), since dispel scroll and power familiar are both arcane, you can have one or the other, same goes for power familiar.

Great Weapons are generally a bad idea on warriors because their initiative is so high. I5 is amazing, it's better than the initiative of characters in some other armies. Giving up I5 for S6 is considered "not worth it", if you have halberds you're still at S5 which will chomp through most anything, and the fact that you can do that at I5 means you can kill a whole unit before it even gets to hit you back.

Light armor on marauders is a bit of a waste. There are a ton of things that are S4 or armor piercing, meaning that you'll never even get a saving throw. Plus consider the cost vs. reward, you spend 30pt for the unit for a 6+, calculate how many marauders you would have to save (how many 6+ armor saves you'd have to make) for that cost to pay for itself... not worth it.

Generally if someone takes Chosen they always take a warshrine and give the champion the Favour of the Gods ability. This is the combo to go for so that you get some awesome buffs. The way you're running them now they might just end up being super expensive warriors with +1 leadership... which is sort of a waste, you'd be better of just getting a lot more warriors.

Knights are good, but don't really need a banner of swiftness and a champion is really expensive for only +1 attack. I'd recommend saving a LOT of points and only giving them a musician for swift reforms. Getting rid of the Champ, Banner and Standard bearer should give you something like 40 or 50 points back which is the cost of another knight.

Just an FYI - I think this thread should be in the Army list section of the forums.

I would add Marauders to the unit - at such a size, 50 is not too much. If you dump some things that Korpacz mentioned or maybe even some Warriors, you could find points. The list seems fun and it's nice to see a Slaanesh army, it's not common, but it seems to me a bit like you wanted just to include every cool unit and couldn't decide on one idea to build the army. Good luck with it!
