Ok little question about what you think about those. (not 2 hand weapons but 2-handweapons, so the things with nasty strength bonus)
I asked around since I wanted to use at least one unit of Chaos Warriors with them, but many people told me that those aren't worth it. What do you think about that? Is it true that such units aren't worth it?

with chaos warriors it aint nescerary, but people going against high armour value toughness forces like chaos warriors its totaly worth it, empire halbadiers on the counter charge, can rough up, things like chaos warriors black orcs etc,
however you wont find many folk willing to go toe to toe with your choas warriors, most folks will simply stay away untill either shooting has thinned them down, or a descent flank charge becomes available (prefrebly both).
but back to your original question for your troops dont bother, they cost enough as it is! and it really doesn't matter against most folks troops.

I have to chose one option for them anyways. Either Shields, flails, or 2handedweapons for 1 point I think and Helbards for 2 or so. So its basically about the armour save or hard striking

Halberds are probably a better buy than great weapons for chaos warriors. They give you the same strength as your average great weapon trooper but they let you preserve your high initiative in later rounds of combat.
Flails are also a good bet - just make your you win in one round! (not hard with chaos)

also, in cc, it means you hit easiser as they are at -1 ws when in base contact.

Or if you want a strong unit rather than tough go with 2-handed weapons with the mark of corn (Half off if you buy a kilo).

The unit is already built with great weapons and the others have hand weapons and shields. And all have the Mark of Tzeentch as that is the fluff and all my heroes are sorcerors or grand sorcerors with the Mark of Tzeentch (that magic phase is devastating)  |

What does the mark of Sneeze do? I thought you couldn't give it to units of infantry

Mark of Tzeentch is a 6+ Ward Save
And Great Weapons rock on WoCs. Their high strength gives them big time advantages against most armies and so they can even turn 1+ armour into 4+. The only disadvantage is that the unit with Great Weapons is quite fragile itself as they only have a 4+ armour save as well compared to the 2+/3+ warriors with shield and hand weapons have in CC and against shooting

If you want to use Great Weapons, I reccomend a 10-sized Khorne Chaos Marauders unit. 80 points of pure rage, 10 Str 5 attacks on the charge for just 80 points? Hell yeah!
It is a great support unit, disposable, and the enemy cannot ignore it because of his killing power.

Sorry to get mean here....
But didn't you read? I'm playing pure Warriors in full plate of Tzeentch. Khorne Marauders don't fit in there at all...

You don't need to be rude ¬¬
If you want to play with just Chaos Warriors, your list will be pretty poor, and the Tzeentch mark is rubbish for the Warriors.
Good luck with your 6+ Ward Saves.

I play themed lists not power play and honestly those Tzeentch lists hit pretty hard and unexpected

It doesn't work like that in WHFB, only the front rank is allowed to attack. So that's normally 10 attacks. Still a nice unit though.
