One thing I always envied about Chaos was the sheer amount of HQ options. The special characters can be interesting too.

So, let me think... I'm not an expert on chaos, but what I reckon:

Chaos Lord: Close combat oriented usually, except for Tzeentch Daemon weaponry. Best daemon weapon are the tzeentch or slaanesh ones (that khorne one sounds fun, but I've seen it used and it really isn't that impressive when you factor in all the to hit and to wound rolls you have to make).

Sorcerors: These guys are pretty fun. Try and keep them out of combat though, unless you've got some kind of Slaaneshi/tzeentch thing going on. Gift of Chaos is a very good spell, try lobbing it at a gaunt squad. It's a fantastic tie-up spell, and if you're desperate you could always try and hit an MC with it. Wind of Chaos is also pretty decent, as is Bolt of change. Lash of submission is a useful nasty too, shifting a squad into the open.

Daemon Prince: Bit of a very nasty compromise, and who can so no to an MC? Do give it a power though, it'll need it to shake up combat a bit. Same ideas as the sorceror really, though warp time is more beneficial to this guy.

As for the characters, they look like they could be pretty fun. Kharn is insanely accurate (if he's in a squad, technically he never misses in cc...) and Fabius can add a bit of risk to your crew. Abaddon is just plain brutal, and the others are a bit interesting too. Try one out, see how they handle. And if you don't like them, at least the model's cool.

i was thinking of sorcerer

I have been on other forums for chaos, and they told me that if you are thinking about using a sorcerer, you should go ahead and use a deamon prince. This was for a Tzeentch sorcerer. They said that you could pay a few extra points and it becomes a monstrous creature. I like the Tzeentch Daemon Prince with warp time and winds of chaos.

My favorite Choas HQ is Typus, I think his model is pretty awsome and he has a pretty kick ass scythe. I was going to start up a CSM and have a serious znurgle thing going but then the new 'dex came out and I was forced to save my money....

Undiv. lord +deamon weapon+wings, Mobile Annihalator!!! My kind of scumbag
Winged Sorc of slaanesh with lash of submission, fly 12", draw enemy 2d6" towards you, 6" charge. This combo makes your opponent's eyes pop out Looney Toons style
Winged tzeentch sorc + warptime kicks multi wound models' ass

I'd say try some combo's for yourself and see what works for your kind of game, experiment!!
