Hiya, my current chaos space marine list is below. I've played one game with it and won but I think it needs a bit of work.
I can afford to buy a new unit so any tips are welcome. I could maybe drop the defiler or vindicator for something different:

Chaos Sorcerer Terminator Armour Level 3 spell familiar 150pts

10 Cultists flamer 55pts

10 CSM melta gun and missle launcher 165pts

10 CSM flamer flamer CCW 170pts

Helbrute tl lascannon 130pts

Defiler 195pts

Vindicator DP 135pts

1000pts

I might be tempted to lose the vindy/defiler merge the marines into one squad (20) and buy some guard allies and griffon mortars (3?) I like the idea that chaos would have traitor guard bring the big guns

a little something like this:

Chaos Sorcerer Terminator Armour Level 3 spell familiar 150pts

10 Cultists flamer 55pts

20 CSM 2 melta gun 290pts

Helbrute tl lascannon 130pts

Allied “traitor” guard:

Hq: company command squad 50pts
Troops: vet squad 70pts
Heavy support: 3 griffon mortars 225pts


970pts

A few special weapons on the guard maybe?
or something for the marines?
id try and keep the hellbrute cheap but if its working for you then by all means keep it
hope this was at least slightly helpful

i would trade the defiler out for a las pred for some long range tank popping other than that it looks good
