This is my first attempt at a Chaos list. I could use a little direction. This started out as a Khorne/IG, and I could switch the CSM units back to Khorne to get some points back if need be.

The idea is Huron tries to infiltrate as many CSM as possible. CCS sits in the defense line while one uses the Quad gun. Essentially the IG handle the armor, while the CSM try to take out the infantry. The bikes are a distraction unit that can pop vehicles. Raptors drop in and help pop vehicles. Cultists camp deployment zone objective, and move up to take other objectives as the CSM wipe enemy units off of them. I could use some creative feedback. Thanks in advance.

Your only (real) antitank power comes from the Vendetta and 2 Meltas on the biker (maybe the Demolisher if he's not too busy taking care of hordes)
What are you going to do against Land Raiders, Leman Russes and Predator-based vehicles (anything with 13+ AV really)?

The units of CSM do have melta bombs, but I see your point. I'll have to do some thinking on this. Any Suggestions?

I don't have the CSM Codex s I'm not sure
But you could replace one unit's flamer with Meltas
Remove Creed to save a lot of points, just put you Russ in front, it'll be close enough
Then I guess you should be able to skimp some more points somewhere and insert a decent Anti-tank Chaos unit (or a kinda one-shot melta IG unit in the vendetta)

I dropped Creed, Master of the Ordnance and 2 bikes to switch 2 flamers to 2 meltas in a unit of CSM, added 5 Raptors with MoN, 2 meltas, a Power Weapon and Melta bombs.
