As my understanding goes they do not have a BSB as other armies do. They have the option of "Trophy Rack" which is similar but have slightly different rules.
You can find specifics in the Army Rules section of their army book.

Warriors don’t have a BSB option. Instead all warrior units have an rule called Hellforged Armour, which gives them leadership rerolls. And barbarian units have a rule called battle fever which also gives them leadership rerolls.
So you have no need of a bsb, apart from monsters and Feldrak units who have no access to a leadership rerolls apart from via banner of discipline.

If you are playing the more recent 'seven deadly sins of chaos' edition I cannot help you, though it appears ALEX has you covered.
If you are playing the older not-Warhammer edition. No, a BSB is always good but you dont truly require a BSB in all likelihood, Chaos Warriors are there to win combats not lose and hold while losing. Even so if you do lose you can get Ld9 very easily. If you play True Chaos/Chaos Undivided you can take a Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided with Ld10 (at not extra cost!!) which as a monster gives an 18" generals bubble. You can tool it up for defence to survive missiles, just dont give it wings.

On the other hand most of your characters can by the upgrade 'Trophy Racks'.
Trophy racks can be upgraded to magical standards in the same way a standard does, however they don't initially provide any static combat res. Instead they provide a stacking combat rez for every model killed in a challange, so if people want to trap your character in a challange with a champion they are making that character 1 CR better every time.
Some other cool things you can do Is take a Chaos Lord on Dragon, and give him banner of speed, to make the Dragon Move 9.
As for leadership, warriors tend not to have any leadership issues for to having re-rolls from their armour. They're all very independant. But if you want to be safe look into the Mark of Pride for minimised leadership rolls.
Units of 5 Pride Knights, with a 1+ save, make very cheap and good road blocks, simply because when the opponent charges them and they loose combat you have a minimised break check with a re-roll. At leadership 9 - CR lost by. This is very very good for a very cheap unit.
