I'm building a Slaanesh Chaos Lord on a steed and a Khorne Chaos Lord on a Juggernaut. I got the bitz from eBay, but they're both Warhammer Fantasy models, so I don't know which bases to put them on for 40k. What size base should I be using for each? Is it a biker base for the Slaanesh steed and a 60mm (dreadnought) base for the Khorne juggernaut?

Thanks!

correct sir

exept if its the Fantasy battle chaos lord on slaanesh steed (the snake steed with boobs) i would say that it belongs also onto a dread base.

The slaanesh cavalry deamonettes is standard on Biker Bases. However, you're free to place it on any larger base you wish. Let me do the math here:

Biker Base = L x W - (W^2 - 2/3*Pi*1/2W^2) = (25 x 50) - (25^2 - 2/3*pi*12.5^2) = 1250 - 298 = 952 sq.mm

25mm Base = 2/3*pi*12.5^2 = 327 sq. mm
40mm Base = 2/3*pi*20^2 = 837 sq mm
60mm Base = 2/3*pi*30^2 = 1885 sq mm

Basically, biker base or 60mm base (or bigger) are legal for official play. If it were up to me though, I'd say the 40mm is close enough, but I did actually do a mockup and it doesn't really sit well on the base unless you use the steed model that has the very upright coiled neck. The extended ones won't fit at all.
