advice needed

hey all, im brand new to warhammer fantasy and am currently trying to read and remember the entire rulebook lol. I've recently got my hands on 3 skullcrushers, 5 knight and 34 warriors of chaos as my start into a chaos army list.
I'm a long time khorne fan and love the fluff that goes with it but i realise magic plays a big part of fantasy and i dont want to hinder myself by ruling it out. So my questions are where do i go from here? hero wise the khorne lord on a jugger looks prime but should i get 5 crushers to give the boss 'look out sir"? also been told i need warhounds for chaff which i looked up on google and understand now haha.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated, Cheers.

Thanks for the great advice :)

My next question then is out of the other 3 chaos gods who's magic is most ideal to support and benefit an army predominantly khorne marked? Is it ok to make a dual chaos god themed army without making it to cheesy and ruining the fluff of khorne hating on magic?

Awesome cheers, so far I think I'll go for 2000pts as a start and run a dual khorne and tzeentch setup

Khorne lord on jugger
Tzeentch sorcerer on foot
Khorne hero bsb mounted

17 warriors - 360
Mok
Shields
Halberds

Standard

17 warriors - 343
Mot
Shields
Hand wep

5 warhounds - 40

5 chaos knights - 245

5 skull crushers - 410

So I'm thinking of buying these 3 characters, Running the jugger lord with the skullkrushers, sorcerer with the mot warriors and the bsb with the knights? Also thinking of beefing the knights upto 9 models and getting a unit of dragon ogres? Thought I could get away with an alliance type thing to appease the fluff rather than an unmarked sorc?

On second thoughts the characters are easily the most difficuly to decide on, I see myself pumping more points than I should into them. Should the tzeentch sorcerer be mounted instead of join a unit for better mobility? Should the exalted hero be given the bsb and what unit to join? Magic items for the jugger lord - dawnstone and collar of khorne?

Your right, would it be worth trimming my warrior blocks to free up some points? Or would I be better off dropping 2 crushers and possibly running The Lord on his own tooled up to survive?

That's brilliant :) uses all the models I already have and I only need to buy 10 warhounds and a few characters.
