-----> I do sometimes play Chaos, so here's my take:

Nurgle is fun, but probably has the least on a plastic sprue that
is specifically for him, though in metal the engines are good for
 E40K disrupt effects
 Tzeentch discs aren't too effective now, but they would give you
an excuse to add flyers.
        Personally I just like Slaanesh, though the older fluff
harps on how much they don't get along with Khorne, the
colors can be wild, especially on a titan. Fiends look fairly
effective under the new rules if you can find some, though
the beast riders are hard to work in using the offical book.
Also, the Noise Marine units can add a little something to
your army also...
