I just bought 5 boxes of Chaos Space Marines which gives me an extra 50 marines to compliment the 34 I already have. And I was thinking of several builds for an army with a lot of chaos marine models that would be effective in game, this is a list I was thinking of possibly building I want opinions, suggestions, criticism. Rather know all this now before i start gluein stuff.

Looks a bit boring to play with all those 4x20 Marines. These squads are rather unflexible as they allow neither combat squadding nor outflanking.

Drop the Lord.

Take Fabius Bile.

Make all your 80 marines Insane.

Cut unit sizes down so you have more flexibility.

For 2,000pts your seriously light on the anti-tank forces.

your anti tank is lacking, but thats a lot of marines! You could throw our ton of bolter death this this list.

Your predators are decent anti-tank, as are your powerfists and melta-guns.

You have a *LOT of models, and they all have 3+ armor saves. If you can get these guys charging and assaulting, you're going to cause a lot of mayhem, even against an Ork swarm.
