I thought somebody said chaos could use drop pods is this true?

Nope.

Your thinking of Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines are the evil version of Space Marines.

Nope.

Forgeworld has the Dreadclaw, which I think is like a drop pod.

unless your playing apoc or agree with your opponent before hand etc

If you agree Imperial armour can be used, then Dreadclaw drop pods are allowed, but generally no they can't

Thanks thats what I thought somebody insisted otherwise.

If you play with the ForgeWorld imperial armor books, then yes...

...but they aren't needed, you can still DS without them

Forge-World has a model of a Dread Claw, and it has official rules on Imperial Armour (I think it's on The Siege of Vracks). It's similar to Drop Pods.

Or you can count as your army.
I know a Thousand Sons player using the rules set of the Loyalists as the rules for his army.

Coupled with conversions and stuff, it's been cool.

It looks similar to a drop pod but has its own rules (as a flier, to start with) and is unarmed and not immobilised upon landing.

You'll need to source one of the Vraks IA books for the rules for it, and outside of apocalypse, I don't see many people letting you use one.
