I would argue that chaos can get along just fine without transports. You can have big mobs of guys, and if you don't go to town on upgrades, they can be fairly cheap, while still being fairly durable. I recently ran a 1500 point army that did quite well and it only had a single vehicle in it. Based off memory it was something like:
Hq: Lord - Jump pack, Sigil of Corruption (4+ invul), Gift of Mutation, Mark of Slaanesh, Black Mace, Meltabombs
Sorcerer - Mastery level 3, Mark of Slaanesh, Sigil of Corruption, Gift of Mutation, Burning Brand of Skalathrax
Troops: 10 Cultists
10 Cultists
20 marines - Mark of Slaanesh, Icon of Excess, 2 Plasma, meltabombs (champion), power sword (champion),
Elites: Hellbrute - Plasma Cannon
Fast: 10 Raptors - Mark of Slaanesh, Icon of Excess, 2 Meltas
Heavy: 1 Obliterator - Mark of Nurgle
1 Obliterator - Mark of Nurgle
1 Obliterator - Mark of Nurgle
This came out to close to 1500 points (don't have my book or list with me right now, so there may have been some stuff different), and still had the benefit of decent anti-tank, good anti-infantry, and some mobility with the raptors and the lord.
