Where can I find the updates I've heard about, and what do I need to know about them? If I'm going to be starting up an escalation league with them, what's a reasonable block of units to get started with that I can build on?

The recent update, that added Skullcrushers and Hellstriders, was a booklet with a recent White Dwarf issue. Outside of finding a copy of that leaflet for sale somewhere, there's no way to legally get that update. Outside of those few new units, there was nothing added, so if you don't plan on using Skullcrushers or Hellstriders, you're fine to go with the basic army book and FAQ.

As for a reasonable block of units, you can't go far wrong with 40 marauders and 15 to 20 warriors.

Remember to have Chaos Warriors fielded in ranks of 6 in order to maximize their offensive effectiveness against usual 20mm models in ranks of 5.

Rule of thumb:

offensive Warriors = halberd + shield
defensive Warriors = shield + hw.

Spam Marauders, preferably with flails or THW. Cheap and extremely effective.

1-2 Hell Cannons wreck havoc among your enemies.

Tzeentch Wizard on Disk for trololol magic spamming.
