        The chaos army list is up on my E40k page, you can check
out the cultist stuff there. Basically, a cultist detachment is
a lot like an IG infantry detachment - tanks & whatnots are only
available as support, so you have to take a bunch of infantry to
take any of the good stuff. Can't take IG arty, and Chimeras are
only available as Support (ie there's no option to mount cultists
in a Chimera) so making mechanized cultist detachments isn't easy.

        Does the armies book mention what happens Strategy
Rating wise when it comes to allies? What would the SR be
of, say, IG allied with Eldar?
