I haven't tried this army yet but I would like some feedback on it. I haven't played many games so I don't have much experience making lists.
The only thing I can imagine this army would be terrible against would be a vehicle heavy army but nobody has any army like that at the LGS I play at (at least at 1200 points).

Here it is:

HQ:

Chaos Lord w/ Terminator Armor + Lightning Claws + MoK - 137 pts

Troops:

8x Khorne Berzerkers w/ 1 Power Fist, 1 Plasma Pistol, 6 Chain Axes, IoW - 235 pts

8x Khorne Berzerkers w/ 1 Power Fist, 1 Plasma Pistol, 6 Chain Axes, IoW - 235 pts

8x Khorne Berzerkers w/ 1 Power Fist, 1 Plasma Pistol, 6 Chain Axes, IoW - 235 pts

Elite:

5x Chaos Terminators w/ 1 Power Sword, 2 Power Axes, 2 Power Fists, 4 cobi-meltas, MoK, IoW - 231 pts

Now, I'm at a cross road here as to what I should do with the last 170-175 points. Here is what I was thinking:

Elite:

Chaos Contemptor Dreadnought w/ Power Fist (Storm Bolter) + Twin Linked Heavy Bolter - 175 pts

OR

Fast Attack:

Heldrake w/ Baleflamer - 170 pts

1248 points w/ Dreadnought and 1243 points w/ Heldrake

I'll start with my HQ; I decided to take Terminator armor for the survivability and the lightning claws to crush people in challenges. with 6 attacks at S5 on a charge it could do a lot of damage.
Then with the Troops. I like having a lot of infantry in my army so this may not be optimal but I figured what the heck. I get tons of attacks, some high strength/ap shots, and rerolls on the bad charges I will inevitably roll. I'm rocking the power fist on the Aspiring Champion for challenges but I'm not sure how well it works so I could always take them out and have some more points for other options.
For the Terminators, I had asked what the optimal way to fit them was and the general consensus was to keep them cheap and have lots of combi weapons, so that's what I did. I will just deep strike them in behind enemy lines and try to take a vehicle out and then have them go out like heroes. Plain and simple.
Now for the last 170+ points. I can either go with a Chaos Contemptor Dreadnought so I have something pretty resilient on the field right off the bat and take out any vehicles the opponent might have. I definitely like the stats on this thing way more than the Helbrute. My other option is to rock and roll with the Heldrake. From what I've heard and read it's pretty cheese to use fliers at this many points? I can't say for sure though since I haven't had to deal with them. Obviously fit it with a baleflamer and BBQ infantry all day.
C&C is welcome and I'd appreciate any advice at making a better list.

Well, foot slogging is a slow way to die. It would be better to stick more to the game. You need objective holders. Berzerkers are not meant for this. Moreover, while your Berzerkers advance you need to give them cover fire suppressing enemy return fire.

What do you think about replacing the Terminators with a Chaos Land Raider w/ a Dirge Caster? I could also replace the Terminators with a Havoc squad or 3 Obliterators too I suppose, which would give me an okay amount of firepower.

Another option would be dropping one of my berzerker squads, and adding two more to the other squads. So then I could pull off getting a Land Raider and Havocs/Obliterators.
