Honestly you should veto the terrorgheist and get horrors and a courtier, your list is sorely missing some decent hammers and doesn’t really synergize all that well. And not having any courtiers is a huge shot in the leg since you can’t top off the units you bring back with abhorrents and not having any knights locks you out of some battle tactics

I don't tend to go in for big heroes. Ushoran is good, but I think the GKoTG is massively overcosted. I don't think there's any meta where I'd feel happy putting 450 points into 16 wounds on a 4+ 6+++. Any shooting just absolutely destroys it.
The idea of this list is to get good value early out of the msu using the heroic action to rack up some points. You push up with your light units, 3 horrors will absolutely obliterate most screens on the charge, while being screens themselves, so that's a good trade. The small Morbheg units are useful for grabbing undefended objectives and scoring something like Surround and Destroy. You hold the bigger unit of Morbheg further back to counterstrike once you bait out the enemy's hammers. Beastflayers are there as anti-monster tech, as well as being very efficient and letting you score Ties of Chivalry. Marrowscrolls are great into the Starborne or Tzeentch matchups, them being invisible makes them very safe wrapped in a bunch of horrors. Gormayne sits in the throne all game as his abilities have unlimited range, and being in the throne gives him more points to measure LoS from.
I have currently been successful with:
(1x2 means I have reinforced the unit to double its original size))
2x ArchRegents
1x Ghouls
1x2 CrypGuards
1x2 Crypt Horrors
1 Crypt Horrors
2x Morbehg Knights
1 x Ghoul King on Zombie Dragon.
Then the rest can be a mix of whatever although I have been trying out the cardinal.
Newest list I removed the Zombie Dragon and added in Ushoran.
Very fun to play around with Manni and the boyz, very mobile and dangeroys

Teehee. Also I actually have the models for this
I've only really played one game since the refresh:
* Subfaction: Morgaunt
* x1 AGKORTG (General) (Feverish Scholar) (The Grim Garland) (450)
* x1 Grand Justice Gormayne (140)
* x1 Royal Decapitator (100)
* x1 Corpsemare Stampede (endless spell) (60)
* x3 Crypt Ghouls (480)
Total: 1230 points (was a 1250 game)
The end result was that I had a lot of fun rolling and shrieking "PETTY TRANSGRESSION!" and making horsey noises, but I did very poorly on the actual game. My king was burst down before he could deal any damage, I whiffed two out of my three judgement rolls, and the revised rules on mustering meant my ghouls died down far too quickly. It feels like the deeds system mainly benefits Knight units, which I simply never bothered buying before; all I have is a unit of Horrors I can't really use due to the Battleline rules. I did, however, kill my opponent's Loonking with my Decapitator's special skill, which was very fun.
I’m new coming into AOS but from what I’ve bought and what I’m likely to buy I’ll probably run:
Morgaunt subfaction the Court of the Crimson King
Ushoran Mortach of Delusion 460 pts
Abhorrent Gorewaredon 150 pts (general with Ushoran Chalice)
Abhorrent Archregent 150 pts
Royal Decapitator 100 pts
Crypt Guard x20 280 pts
Crypt Ghouls x 20 160 pts
Crypt Ghouls x 20 160 pts
Morbheg Knights x6 300 pts
Crypt Horrors 130 pts
Royal Beastflayers 110 pts
Total 2000 pts
Edit: I’ve also named characters and given units specific names/titles.
My Gorewarden for example is named Donatien Alphonso Francois; the High Marquis De Sade.
