Ogranoth blackhammer, captain of the “red raiders” is infamous for his abillity to command armies, no matter the size.
usual hero setup, used by charging ahead of his bodyguard and challenging to make a unit of troops fight a war of atttrition, allowing his warriors to come in the flank.
12 chaos dwarf warriors with blunderbusses

the “red blizzards” are a unusually new addition to Ogranoth’s raiders. he hopes to test them and thier abillites soon.
never leave Zharr nagrrund wthout em. usual role of softening.
14 chaos dwarf warriors, musician, standard, champion, great weapons

Ogranoth’s personal guard. when thier leader charges out into the fray, they move into thier usual combat tactic and smash into the flank.
As xander pointed out your hobgoblins are 50 points not 75 - but you could (if you can find 5 points from somewhere else) drop them down to 20 and add another unit of 20 - thus giving you 2 bait / flanker / distraction units that still get 3 ranks
25 Hobbos is 50 points, unless you equipped them with something? :P
Cool list.

ah yes, my mistake while editing. i will edit in the correct cost.

I would ditch the great weapons on the warrior freeing up 14 points, and take those 25 points from the hobgoblins giving you 39 points to work with. The great weapons are expensive and they take your armor down a lot. In combat the chaos warriors job is just not to die and throw in a lot of static combat resolution. Let your lord do the wounds.
things you might do with those points:
1. Buy a bolthrower and 4 more hobgoblins
2. Bump your blunderbuss unit to 15 and get a hobgoblin for your unit
3. Take one hobgoblin from your existing unit and make two additional units of 10 hobgoblins each (somebody has to claim the board corners and there is no cheaper way to do it)
4. Buy your unit of chaos dwarf warriors a war banner, your blunderbusses a musician, and two more hobgoblins
I think you definately need some sort of magic in there when im creating lists i always try to think of the possible things that other people could have in the same level lists and then have something in my ary that would probably match or beat as many things as possible
eg in a 500pt list most people wont have a level 2 sorcerer so i probably dont need one
