Hello Dakkites, have a bigish game against guard tommorrow and instead of my normal lots of armor strategy I'm trying to max out on infantry and give the enemy alot to shoot at. (This worked well against Eldar)

Chaos lord,mos,daemon weapon,bike-170
Sorceror,mot,doombolt,wind of chaos-170

lascannon
Chaos space marine squad (10)- 160 x2

Heavy Support

predator-135
lascannon, heavy bolters

Basicly the strategy is my regular squads hose down the tanks and infantry, all my terminators start on the board and foot slog there way towards the enemy, popping off shots with there autocannons and combi bolters all the while, The possessed will try to do the most damage they can, depending on there rules. (last time they got rending and took out a wave serpent and 20 man guardian squad) The bike lord will at best be a fire magnent, if he actually makes it in close combat hes just going to kill as much as possible, the prince will move and lure out squads with lash and then kill them, or subject them to fire from my marines, the sorceror attaches himself to my 10 man termy squad and trudges across the board, adding doombolts to there already impressive array of firepower.
The Chosen im not so sure on, at best they will pop shots at far away vehicles, at worst they will be anihilated and further distract fire away from my more important marines. The deflier will just try to blast huge chunks out of the guard squads and the predator will add to the tank hunting, or use its Hb's to slaughter guardsman.

Anyway, thats about it, any input would be nice, thanks Dakkites.

A simple good list bad list would be apreciated too

The Terminators and armour are going to soak up quite a bit of firepower. Especially hiking across the board. I'd put a squad or two in a rhino, and run them up the flanks while the IG concentrate on the Terminators, then walk right through them in CC. Nevertheless, good luck

A chaos army can never have enough lash princes. And more shooty!!! How the heck does my 2000pt chaos army have more shooty than your 2500pt? Noise Marines = shooty delight, although I'm not sure if you have any. Does your 10 man termie squad have 2 reapers? Lash prince strategy combo hinges on having lots of shooty, so, I usually favor an entirely shooty army over a mixed shooty/assault army. Defilers with that battlecannon make mince meat of guard, so if you have more than 1 of those, then play em. And, terminators always trump chosen squads, so swap them out if you can.
