So, just in the honour of Chaos that may receive some love in the following months, I decided to start W40k with CSM using the battlebox. Even thought it ain't competitive (anyway I hate competitive, makes thing costly and un-fun), it's still a cheap way to start a 1000 pts colourful and fun army. Here's the idea :

Chaos Sorcerer : Mark of Tzeentch, Terminator Armour, Doombolt, Bolt of Change, Meltabombs
Total : 185

Chosen x5 : Meltagun x5, Champion
Total : 150

Possessed : Icon of Tzeentch
Total : 170

Berzerkers x8 : Champion, Power fist, Plasma Pistol x2
Rhino
Total : 273

Chaos Space Marines x10 : Champion, Power fist, Icon of Chaos Glory, Meltagun x2
Total : 220

Total : 998

It looks good as far as the battleforce is concerned, maybe swap out the MoT Sorcerer for a Slaaneshi one with Familiar so you can have Lash of Submission and Another spell so you can move the enemy closer to those possessed or KB's guaranteeing your assault, I'd also look at possibly swapping the Icon of Tzeentch on your possessed for the Mark of Khorne, Extra attacks will always help but it's not completely necessary.

I'm not sure how the chosen will go without a Rhino, but you'll have to see how it goes.

Looks good though
