What strategy would you suggest for juggernaut? I planed to put him in the front of knights and charge small units with him

Yeah, he's best charging units from within a unit of Khorne Knights. Avoid anything with big static res. but otherwise point and charge with what will prove to be a very powerful, very killy unit! BSB on Jugger gets you the extra +1 to his combat res too if you go down that route, if his unit has the warbanner they'll crunch a lot of things underfoot. They're biggest weakness is the frenzy though (biggest strength too) as they can be baited so try to screen them with warhounds until you want them charging.

Elazar is correct, though you might also find him even more valuable in a "mini-death star" unit if you put him in with the Knights. Very few units can stand their charge for even a single turn. Properly prepared, you can have that unit fight twice per turn for 2-3 turns depending on how you place your other troops. I did that to the poor Lizardmen a couple games ago; it completely can change the dynamics of a game. Just requires some planning and getting other units in contact before you fight with your BSB/Knights

So I decided to start the warrior’s army! And here is my list
Heroes
Juggernaut
Lord on disk (2)
Core
Marauders horsemen ( 3 units, 1 with banner)
Warhounds (5 guys)
Special
Chaos knights ( 3 units, 1 of them with champion and 2 with banner)
Rare
Shaggoth or giant with khorne
And washrine
So the idea is like this.
Juggernaut is for games vs vampire count, tomb, daemons and orcs.
Put 2 units of knights behind the juggernaut to protect them from something like hydra. If the hydra will attack the juggernaut I will flank him with 1 units of knights.
Warhound are for archers and blocking units.
Lord on disk are for something like salamanders and cannons.
Maraudrrs are for helping the knights and deleting small units (black guard maybe).
And shaggoth and giant for big think (blood knights, stegadons and etc)
Since I do not have the warrior’s books I have a question what banner is better for knights and marauders?

Just wanted to point out some flaws in your list and give you some advice.

Heroes
Juggernaut
Lord on disk (2)
Core
Marauders horsemen ( 3 units, 1 with banner)
Warhounds (5 guys)
Special
Chaos knights ( 3 units, 1 of them with champion and 2 with banner)
Rare
Shaggoth or giant with khorne
And washrine

Alright hoe many points are planning on this army to play at?
Because if it's less then 2000 points you have an illegal list,with the two lord level characters.

Besides that it seems to be a fairly strong army,although I would put as any champions in the army as I could,given that if they win a challenge they roll on the Eye of the Gods table.

On a final note,I would say that your army is going to have to play in an efficent overwhelm one enemy unit at a time sort of way.

Chaos Champions and Heroes is they win a challenge roll on the Eye of the Gods table,which mutates your champions mostly positive effects although thee are some negative effects to.

If your playing 2250,then your list is illegal because of your 3 lord choices. (Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut and the two lord of tzcheench lords on discs

ok now I understood.
The 2 lord on disk are for games with my friends. Could you suggest some banners for the knights?

Hm when I was going to play a mono Khorne army (which I might end up doing instead of Skaven) I was always keen on the Banner of Rage,if I remember correctly it gives frenzied to the unit that bears it.

Just a quick note on the Banner of Frenzy, it gives units Frenzy that cannot be lost even when combat is lost, so your unit will never lose its frenzy.

5 Warhounds while cheap are easy to get rid of and as you want them to get rid of shooters a decent turn of shooting against them will destroy it. 10 of them are still cheap and are US20. They'll survive longer, can hold a flank and are a threat in combat too. Your Marauder Horsemen units would benefit from musicians too as you are fast cavalry and want to be baiting units have the bonus to rally is useful. The Knight should all (in my opinion) have full command too.
