Now, when I first started playing Chaos, it was only because I got a bunch of Chaos ships with the BFG lot I bought at a flea market. Initially, I wasn't going to expand it at all beyond the purchase of three cruisers and a battleship to make it comprable to my Imperial fleet (because I figured that I wasn't going to meet a lot of opponents who already had their own fleets).
As it turns out, however, my only local opponent only plays Imperial, so my Chaos fleet is looking a lot more appealing. While I definitely love the unstoppable steamroller that is the Imperial fleet, there's also something fun about Chaos's speed, mobility, and long-range weapons.
Given my current collection, what do you think I'll get the most play out of when the time comes to expand this collection?
• Desolation-Class Battleship
• Stxy-Class Heavy Cruiser
• 2 Slaughter-Class Cruisers
• 6 Infidel-Class Raiders
• 3 Idolator-Class Raiders

Hey, I guess you mean desolator bb.
Most obvious what you need is more standard cruisers. Carnages are excellent choices to use along the desolator and Styx. I guess others will tell you to add more carriers (devastation) but I use 1 Styx up to 1750 pts in my renegade fleet.

I see what you mean... A carnage would be a great addition. I definitely think that the Styx can supply a lot of my carrier needs, but it might be neat to add a devestation, too. The kit does make two cruisers.

Exactly, add a carnage and devastation.

2 carnages and 2 devastation

2 carnages and 2 devastation
Well, yes, I would consider this too if you are going for 4 more. I would also consider an Acheron in there unless you are content with your lance amount.

I would grab two more cruiser kits and put together a Devistation for games the Styx may be too big for. With your other three hulls Id go for a pair of Carnages/Murders because they make a great base for just about any fleet and an Acheron, with five cruisers another heavy is in order and the Acheron make great additions to the Carnages.
-
Depending on your budget...
1 box of cruisers: Carnage and Devastation.
2 boxes: add another Carnage then Acheron.
After that, do what you want, really. Other ships I'd consider are Havoc, Murder, and Hades.
