i have variants of the list with switching out the plauges with regular marines, and switching chosen for havocs, though as of now i dont know what to do, (dont suggest oblits or termis i cant afford them for awhile)

I love seeing 2 demon princes with wings soaring around the map leaping into assaults... I would definitely recommend giving one of them Lash of Submission.

LandRaiders may be a liability in a field where your opponents are throwing around tons of melta; but loading a land raider with Berserkers and driving it directly into your opponent's face is an awesome feeling. I love land raiders, as CSM, even if they don't have power of the machine spirit like the standard SM ones have. They're nice big obstacles, they have serious firepower, and they deliver assaults.

Plague marines with melta, in rhinos is good.

You could benefit from more heavy weapons fire... obviously, as you've already mentioned, oblits would be great, but failing that... Havocs might be a good idea for you. LasCannons solve problems.

I love lascannons and I love CC, so naturally, I love Landraiders, Demon Princes, and Berserkers. I'm by no means an expert though, so let's hope some more experienced players chime in on your list.

yeah that be nice, though people always ignore my threads, an i need the help because i have trouble understanding whats good with what

I tend not to use my demon prince as much as I should and love my Bezerkers in rhino's. Las cannons are great for a heavy tank opponent you lack anti-infanrty weapons to hurt horde armies. Imperial Guard and Orks would give you trouble. I just got my Plague Marine unit and a 1,000 Son unit so I will be using them soon. I like Raptors as they are good deep strikers, drop the 2nd Choosen unit for Obliterators 1-3 should do.

I like my Terminators too for CC, I tend to go mostly Khorne but thats just me. but you got a good list going, I say try it out and if your not happy tweek it some.

The nastyness of lash is epic, i've seen so many gunlines completely neutralised because of lash and it's counts as moving for the next turn garbage that i would never not recomend it.

There are a lot of really good 2000 point chaos lists around here, and what people seem to agree on is Berserkers are awesome horde-munching assault beasts.

Personally, I run 19 berserkers and two land raiders in my 2000 point CSM roster. I use a DP with lash, and my other two troop choices are 8 noise marines and 7 thousand sons, both in rhinos.
Of course, I also run 3 oblits, because they're the greatest thing ever.

Sometimes I use Havocs, sometimes I use a brutal HQ, like Abaddon or a Demon sword wielding champion on a palanquin of nurgle... I love that guy... and I tend to fine against all comers. The thing I like about chaos is that the units reliably do what they're supposed to do. The Noise Marines shoot, the thousand sons endure, the berserkers eat peoples faces, and the obliterators do everything else.

Throw in a few Meltabombs, summon a greater demon, and don't be afraid to sacrifice troops for position. CSM is great at enduring, even without plague marines, because, hell, it's fearless.

Again, I just know what I like, and I've only played about 15 or so games with my CSM, so I could be completely wrong.
