I need help with my Chaos list. My wife challenged me to make a Halloween themed 40k list entirely during the month of October. After much deliberation (and help from fellow dakkanoughts) we decided to base the list and the Chaos Demons and Chaos Space Marines codecii. If you want to take a quick look at what I've painted so far, you can find the OP here. All the progress is summarized in the OP.

Problem is I know nothing about chaos. The list (as far as units and characters) is set by what fits the theme of the army... what isn't set however, are the minutia such as demonic powers, some war gear or whether certain squads have character upgrades or not. That's where I need your help. Don't worry about specific points, but don't be extravagent. Any advice you have that can improve the efficacy of any unit or character without losing the efficiency would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the list. Any war gear already specified is required by the figure I've chosen. Looking forward to whatever bits of wisdom you can provide. I do have both codecii, just haven't had the time to study them yet (and I'll be painting like a mad-man all the way up Oct. 31st).
