This is the deffinate list I'm getting for 1750pts, it's the right balance between fluff (what little Codex: CSM gives on the 'Steel Brethren' and for me is an mportant part of the hobby), minis I like and tactical/gaming ability (thanks go out to all who helped with getting the list to a decent tactical stage):

HQ

Chaos Lord – Daemon Weapon
Combi-Melta
Terminator Armour 150

Elites

Chaos Terminators - 4 men
Reaper Autocannon
3 Combi-Weapons (2 Plasma/1 Melta)
Power Fist
Chain Fist 185

Troops

Chaos Space Marines - 10 Men
Aspiring Champion w/ Power Fist
2 Plasma Guns
Icon of Chaos Glory 230
Rhino APC 35

Chaos Space Marines - 10 Men
Aspiring Champion w/ Power Weapon
2 Melta Guns
Icon of Chaos Glory 210
Rhino APC 35

Khorne Bezerkers - 10 Men
Skull Champion w/ Power Weapon 240
Rhino APC 35

Plague Marines - 8 Men
Plague Champion w/ Power Fist
2 Plasma Guns 264
Rhino APC 35

Heavy Support

Obliterator Cult – 2 Men 150

Predator – TL Lascannon (Turret)
Lascannons (Sponsons) 165

TOTAL - 1749 POINTS

* Dropped the DP as, from what everyone on every forum has told me, they are pretty much useless on their own as they just soak fire - and I refuse to run 2 in one army for fluff's sake (can only really happen if both the champion and the sorcerer become ascended which is unlikely) and that I don't want to lose anything in the army to afford one.

Right I'm also planning on bumping the list up to 2000pts so am looking at adding an additional 250pts to it. Here are 2 of my prefered possibilities though there are many more and I am most definately open to suggestions as to which/what to do.

OPTION 1

Chaos Terminators - 3 Men
3 Combi-Weapons (which combo?) OR 2 Combi-Weapons/1 Heavy Flamer
Power Fist
Chain Fist 130

Chaos Predator - Autocannon (Turret)
Heavy Bolter (Sponsons)
Havoc Launcher (Pintle) 120

OPTION 2

Chaos Space Marines - 10 Men
Aspiring Champion
Icon of Chaos Glory
* Some combiation of wrgear (for Asp. Champ. & Special Weapons) 215
Rhino APC 35

Option 2 is a straightforward choice in the 5th ed.
However, I prefer option 1 as it can dish out serious damage.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate annd keep it coming.

I didn't know about the new 'stationary tanks' in 5th - thanks for the warning. ANother option I am considering for 1750pts is dropping the Predator and Reaper Autocannon and adding 2 Obliterators, a heavy flamer and additional man with combi-weapon -I chose the above option as it was more 'fluffy' as obliterators are meant to be rare. Still not sure on the next 250pts mind, though option 1 has got the best feedback so far - will be dropping the Power Fist.
