I know Malefic Lords have already been mentioned, but I think the best units available to Chaos right now are actually R&H artillery. I know the downsides of not being able to buff them and the lack of orders. But the ones with indirect fire have a huge advantage, position them behind terrain and they are immune to incoming shots.

- Earthshaker Battery, costs as much as a basic Berzerker unit. You get D6 Str 9 AP -2 D3 damage shots capable of indirect fire. It's immobile, but can hit anything on the board. 3 of them average 12 shots a turn.

- Heavy Mortar Battery, costs a little less than a basic Noise Marine unit. You get D6 S 6 AP -1 shots that cause d3 damage, again capable of indirect fire. At 48 inches, great for dealing with Scions / Terminators / other Heavy Infantry. 3 of them average 12 shots a turn.

- Heavy Quad Launcher, costs a little more than a basic Noise Marine unit. You get 4D6 S 5 AP 0 shots that cause 1 damage, capable of indirect fire. At 48 inches, great for dealing with massed conscripts / guard. 3 of them average 40 shots a turn.

3*d6=10.5 on average, not 12.

But those do look tasty.

Roll 2 dice and take the highest one. Makes up for the lack of rerolls.
