I have played a few problems with zooming flyers, they keep tearing up my units. What can I use to deal zooming flyers with just chaos space marines with no allies.

Take an Aegis Defense Line with either a Quad-gun or Icarus Lascannon. Its cheap and easy skyfire.

Aside from that, any source of Str7+ twin-linked weapons are the best thing. Twin-linked BS1 is almost identicle to BS2. So 1/3 odds.

Reaper Autocannons are an amazing weapon for this.

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

MURICA!!! IN SPESS!!!

Twin-Linked weapons like Reapers or the Plasma- and Meltaguns of the Obliterators are probably your best bet to deal with flyers, if you not want to use the Aegis Defense Line.

Suggestions above are all the best bets, but none of them are all that effective still. When the new Codex hits we'll have the means, but until then unconventional means will be necessary. Try using movement to mitigate damage from enemy flyers and concentrate on the mission.

Ignore the flyers? Get allies that have flyers? Otherwise wait for a new dex

I take the aegis line and man it with a havoc squad with either 4 auto cannons or missile launchers.
What you get is a unit that can kill flyers and and whole lot of other stuff besides.
