5 Chosen with 5 Plasma Guns and Mark of Nurgle is my favorite little fireteam. The wording in the codex allows you to put that 5th Plasma Gun on the Chosen Champion. Put them in a Rhino and let them drive around doing business.

I've gotta disagree there. It says one additional chosen may take the 5th special weapon, not the chosen champion.

I dont think you can do that. You need a squad of 6 if you want 5 special weapons.

An effective use of chosen is cypher + 10 chosen with 5 plasma and a combi-plasma. Infiltrate into cover upto 18" away from the opponent.
Now if the opponent advances out of their deployment zone the squad will hit them with 14 plasma shots, 2 at bs10, and 10 bolter shots, 2 at bs10.
Due to shrouded and cover, they will have a 3+ or 2+ cover save and 4-5 ablative wounds.
They will also have hit and run and ATSKNF.

Even better if you can infiltrate this unit into a ruin or something out of LoS in the opponents deployment zone, then pop up turn 1 and devestate a unit.

Cypher's chosen are awesome, but then they arent really just chosen, they are cypher.

That sounds amazing actually...
How many points?

There might be the problem of them being too far up, alone, so every unit in the enemy army will fire at them..

if you use crimson slaughter you can make your chosen have preferred enemy (via the aspiring champ) - good for anything really but i imagine would be best used with plasma chosen

Or use Huron or Ahriman and give a guaranteed D3 units Infiltrate as well...

Just wanted to say i got my chosen in the mail, and started kitting them out for use without the special cc weapons..

Thanks for the inspiration guys..
