1.  Take lots of Daemon troops and Daemon Fast attack.  It prevents your opponent from being able to set their troops up in as good a position as they normally could as summoned Daemons make great CC troops and are practically deep-striked.

2.  Bikers make great distractions!

3.  Daemon Possessed marines are some of the most fun and effective troops to play with.

4.   Use specialty troops such as Khorne Berzerkers and Daemons to do all the CC.  Your regular Chaos Marines are best used in small numbers with bolters and a heavy weapon (preferably missile launchers) to fire on the enemy from behind your CC units.

5.  Do not rely on marines' armour saves and regular marine superiority to win the game.  A "normal" Chaos force is not Chaos.  Your elites and access to Daemons are what give Chaos a chance against their Imperium dedicated counterparts.

6.  Havocs are useless.  They don't have the firepower of Devastators nor do they have the CC edge of average Chaos.  Take Obliterators or Predators.

7.  Land Raiders are too expensive and don't have the power to tear through troops.  A predator is a better choice if you really need a tank.

8.  Dreadnaughts are unpredictable and must be taken as Heavy Support.  Use that valuable slot for something better.

9.  Nurgle infestation is a very nice upgrade for the predator.  I wouldn't bother with Rhinos, though.
