so here's a list I've been working on for the Caledonian tournament in July.
Primary detachment - combined arms - black legion supplement - chaos space marine codex
Warpsmith – chaos bike, mark of Tzeentch, sigil of corruption, plasma pistol, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 190 (warlord)
Sorcerer – mastery level 3, chaos bike, spell familiar, sigil of corruption, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 175 (telepathy discipline)
chaos space marines (10) – 2 plasma guns, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 180
chaos space marines (10) – 2 plasma guns, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 180
Rhino. Pts = 35
Rhino. Pts = 35
chaos bikes (6) – 2 melta guns, champion with power fist, mark of nurgle, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 217
Maulerfiend – lasher tendrils. Pts = 135
Maulerfiend – lasher tendrils. Pts = 135
Forgefiend. Pts = 175
allied detachment - chaos space marine codex
chaos lord – mark of khrone, axe of blind fury, sigil of corruption, juggernaut of khrone, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 175
chaos space marines (10) – 2 plasma guns, Veteran of the long war. Pts = 180
Rhino. Pts = 35
the characters all sit in the bike squad and follow the Maulerfiends around, being able to dish out enough anti-tank and anti-infantry fire power while also having lots of close combat attacks, with the sorcerer providing shrouding and invisibility hopefully to protect the unit from shooting. the warpsmith is there to bring a BS5 melta gun and plasma pistol to the bike squad, while also having a 2+/3++ save.
the chaos lord is all about close combat, providing lots of S6 AP2 attacks.
the Maulerfiends are daemonic walkers that excel at taking out tanks, other walkers, terminators and knights, the lasher tendrils reduce the attack of models in base contact by 2 per Maulerfiend (this also affect friendly models, so I'll need to keep the Maulerfiend at least 1" apart from each other), with 4 S10 AP2 attack on the charge each, the pair can deal with pretty much anything nasty. the warpsmith can also repair them if they get immobilised.
the Forgefiend provide some long range fire power in the from of 8 S8 AP4 shots a turn, while also being a daemonic walker.
the 3 chaos space marine squads sit in their rhinos mostly, staying mobile, taking objectives and jumping out to release mass bolter fire into soft targets.
the one weakness I see in the list is mass flyers, but all I need is one sky fire objective and the Forgefiend should be able to take a flyer out every turn.
what are your guys opinions?
(changed primary detachment to black legion supplement thanks to wills input about allied detachments)

40K: Orks and Chaos Space Marines
standard deffwing tactic: rush fast and hit like a runaway freight train with a rocket booster on the last carriage...
remember kids, never trust an ork who shows his teeth
