If I were you i would put a common weapon on the havocs, I think the autocannon is a great weapon as it can kill the ork light vehicles and troops easily. Not quite sure, but i think the lascannons on the pred is a little too much, a dakka pred (auto and heavy bolters) would be cost sufficient and help kill the mobs. Just 1 lascannon would be better I think. Everything looks pretty good, but I would try to get more guys on the field w/ more ranged weaponry.

More guys= more attacks = more dead orcs = bigger BBQ

Let's see -

Sajiisde hit the nail right on the head, I'd just like to expand on a few things.

Autocannons on the havocs is a great idea and the pred set up will be a waste. A better predator set up would be an autocannon, 2 heavy bolters and a havoc launcher. Haven't gone up against the new orcs yet, but from the battles I had with the last codex, heavy bolters are going to be your best friend.

Warptime on the Tzeentch sorcerer would be better than bolt of change. Remember - you can reroll missed shooting to hit and wound rolls with warptime. Wind of Chaos w/ Rerolls - that's just brutal.

The troops look OK except for the CSM squads. The first is 10 men with one heavy bolter. You can easily switch this out for a havoc squad with 4 heavy bolters. Also, Mark of Tzeentch seems really out of place in that set up.

Second one - same thing about the Mark, I think in both cases the Mark of Nurgle would be more helpful against Orks. 2 Meltaguns will be alright, since your opponent will probably be rushing his vehicles toward you and into meltagun range. Plasmas or flamers might serve you a little better though.

Plague Marines & Berserkers - almost perfect - something that'll give the Orks a run for their money in CC. However, the Skull Champion could use a power weapon, or just ditch him.

Terminators - they are alright. 2 chainfists is a bit much, maybe drop one for some combi-plasmas. Some people would rather go for a heavy flamer instead of the reaper, but I think the reaper will work nicely - assuming you get some flamers elsewhere.

Interesting set up on the chosen. Looks like you're going for an all-purpose type unit, and I am not 100% sure what to say about it.

Dreadnought - I like dreads. Not many chaos players do these days. A dreadnought close-combat weapon might not be so useful against Orks. Their armor save is low as is - so what about switching it out for a missile launcher?

Defiler - Why not? I don't know if the Havoc Launcher is needed. Just sit back and lob pie-plates at your enemy.
