An idea for removing the weaknesses of the summoning list, and general chaos air weakness.
Keeping your horrors mounted in a storm eagle allows them to generate charge with relative safety.

The two nurgle princes will do the bulk of the summoning, with the spell familiars giving better warp charge value, and the 2+ cover swoop keeping them alive.
the lord of change will probably roll divination and hope for scriers gaze.

The idea isn't quite there yet , but hoping it has promise


+++ Chaos air summoning (1850pts) ++

This came up in theory, and did very well against the test game of space marines.

3 Combined Arms Detachments giving:

6 Daemon Princes of Nurgle, level 2 psych
6x10 Cultists
1800 points. 1850, just bump 2 more psychic levels.

It's all about the Jink. Jink and vector strike while you poop out daemons. Very little in the game can deal with flying and 2+ cover. Enemy flyers tend to get knocked out of the sky by massed vector striking, and pooping out scoring daemons on objectives is awesome. Late in the game turning wounded daemon princes into greater daemons is awesome.

Anywhere that allows multiple CAD, I'd run this for chaos.
