I was wondering if someone could basically list the units that do extremely well in the 6th edition. ive been getting my destroyed on the table and im looking as to see which god to follow and what units are good. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I run an all Nurgle army, and I must say that plague marines do very well for me. They are resilent and can even dish out pain in CC. I even run them on foot and they manage well. You should play which god or gods you like but I would have to admit that plague marines are the top choice out of the cult marines.

Sell your soul to the Blood God

Heldrakes, obliterators, plague marines, chaos lord, andcultists are the best units in the codex

Although you come asking for the best units of the dex to carry you on to victory, what you should ask is how to play csm.

CSM is a very elite army that relies on upgrades. The exception are cultists. CSM only has a rhino, so no razor backs, drop pods, or other land raider variants. Therefore most people will just foot slog Plague Marines.

The fast attack slot are occupied by heldrakes, but I think spawns are a strong alternative. These spawns usually escort a jugger or biker lord.

Obliterators provide the army with the right guns for every other turn. The 2+ armor and 5++ invul and 2 wounds makes them hard to kill. They are the most flexible and sturdiest among heavies.

To get right to your question:
Juggy khorne lord
Spawn with khorne lord or solo and nurgle marked
Heldrakes
Plague marines
Noise marines with blastmasters
Sorcerer Lvl3 unmarked
Typhus
Cultists/zombies
Nurgle oblits

Traps:
Raptors/Warp Talons
Thousand sons
Beserkers
Land Raider

Everything else is alright or meh...
