Have any Chaos players fought a Ravenspam army yet? I saw all those BOLS articles about it and certainly does seem a tough scenario.

I was thinking perhaps a combo of deepstriking Khorne Raptors w melta guns/fist/Icon of Wrath, deepstriking jump sorcerer smite spam maybe, hellforged Deredeo, Bloodthirsters and/or Nurgle Princes might be good to deal with those. Guess the trick is having resilent units to maintain the half on deployment, whilst null deploying other FLY units that can maybe cripple or pop a Stormraven when they drop. Maybe Abaddon and 3 units of Khorne-meltawrath Raptors could do something. That would be neat in any game.

Can Abaddon have wings :?)

Wait for the nerf mate. The other option would be to spam Brimstone horrors (180+) and demon princess/ T. heralds. Smite is your best bet, bring as much of it as you can.

Anyone rate valkyries? Can be a chaos option. Also a good transport ,and can squadron for minimal drops.

If there are just three Storm Ravens, pack 10 or Melta/plasma into rhinos, or Raptors and Deepstrikes or chases one a turn down. Magnus "should" break one a turn. 2 Heldrakes have a possibility of breaking one on a charge. Bloodthirsters with wings...

Forgeworld appearently has a ton of toys.... I'm sure I missed a few in the index.

Six storm Ravens sounds a bit harder to deal with, if only because ALL that shooting is in your face turn 1. Deep striking Raptors with Power Fist/Melta Gun and a Icon of Wrath sounds effective. Melta Bombs would be nice (GW probably won't give them to us.) Only problem I have with SIX is that it's so much front loaded shooting that they'd kill 2 Heldrakes or Magnus or 10 Havocs in a rhino. Meaning that my list quickly becomes one sided to counter them leaving me a easy counter by another army.
