First things first, welcome to the stunted side of chaos :cheers

I like the list the only thing i would make sure you do with the Wizard Bunker unit is place a wizard on each end and keep them within 3"/6" inches of your war machines for the re-rolls.

I assume you will be using the Hell Cannons to hold down the flanks. Maybe consider placing your deathshrieker/magma cannon next to one of them and have your deamonsmith baby sit them while your Prophet in the bunker babysits the other or some other similar configuration.

I love lore of death but it may be worth considering lore of fire for the deamonsmith for fireball and flamming sword/fire cage. The former is an awesome chaff clearer while the latters have great synergy with ziggurat (castle in dwarf terms) style lists. Flamming sword is awesome when place on war machines (especially deathshriekers) and fire cage lets you pin most units in place for added long range punishment.

For your khans try out the terrifying mask of eee! and shrieking blade the former is great for redirecting and the latter for the magic attacks and what not. Though the best way to deal with ethereals would be making a at least one of your war machines hellbound.
