I've been looking at the DV starter set for a small game to have around when me and my friend are bored or want to change things up, we both use to play 40k but gave up on it, but from time to time we get the 40k itch, im aware that the starter set is in favour for the dark angels, but instead of removing models from the DA side what can I buy for the chaos side to kind of tip things back in balance? the scenarios seem interesting but it would be fun to have a equal standard game as well.

I thought it felt balanced. At least in comparison to The Ork vs SM one >.<

Compared to AoBR yes DV is more balance, to say is is balanced as an objective statement, no, DA has WAY more points and if you get enough plasma or lucky with the assault cannon the Helbrute is toast and the chaos side is at a serious disadvantage.

Chaos is severely outmatched in maneuverability and in long range fire power. Adding more longer range shooting to the chaos side would certainly help.
