Lord of Change definitely. Magnus the Red if you can get him. The Keeper
is O.K. but Fulgrim is of limited use I've found. He's only really worth
it if you want to take the Emperor's Children or if you are facing IG/TG or
Orks. One of my personal favourites is the Great Unclean One. He is just
so cool. Love him. Yes, he can't move far but he's dead hard and will
hold an Objective Counter against all comers. Also worth getting is the
Plague Tower. I'm also a fan of Angry Ron (Angron). Love his growl plus
the figure is terribly cool.

Cannons are O.K. but the best support Chaos can get are Whirlwinds and Land
Raiders. The Contagion Engines of Nurgle are pretty good too but the best
support to be found for Chaos is in the form of Whirlwinds, Land Raiders
and Chaos Titans. Its very rare to find a Chaos Titan (in my experience)
that is equipped for Close Assault. Most Chaos players use them as Fire
Support platforms. I know I tend to.
