Lightbulb Huron Blackheart and his Red Corsairs

Hey^^ (w00p starting threads is awkward)
A few months ago, well about 6, I finally decided to start a 40K army and not to give up on it this time round. So far i had bought a Tyranid Hive Tyrant and the gaunt box set before deciding i would never get round to painting Tyranids. Then i bought a Leman Rus (Currently in the hands of thebarnet as a "meat"shield for his beloved Baneblade) and decided once more that the army wasn't for me. Then i decided to go Tau with a friend, but then one fateful afternoon. I found the latest White Dwarf posted through my door and on the front cover, Chaos Space Marines. The ruinous powers had called upon my services and I gave myself willingly. Inside the first model i saw was Huron Blackheart and I was instantly converted to the Red Corsairs.

Since then i have purchased the codex, Huron himself and the £50 Chaos Space Marine army boxset. I love them =D. Huron is painted and i have been told it is one of my best models. Now I am painting the rest of the army inbetween LOTR Grey Company. However, soon it will be finished and it will be time to expand to a decent force. I need help from some old hands at 40K, preferably Chaos, at choosing the list. The list looks something like this...

HQ:
Huron Blackheart

Elite:
5 Posessed

Troops:
10 Chaos Space Marines
-Idol of Chaos Glory
-Meltagun
-Heavy Bolter
-Aspiring Champion with plasma pistol and Powersword
-All other models equipped with a bolter

5 Chaos Space Marines
-CCW and Bolt pistols on all

10 Khorne Berkzerkers
-Skull Champion with Power Fist (Take out tanks etc) and Plasma Pistol
-All else with CCW and bolt pistol

Fast Attack

Heavy Support

____________
That is the list, I was planning on a unit of Chaos Bikers as i have seen how awesome they are, plus it fits in with the Hit and Run tactics of the Red Corsairs. I was also looking to avoid Tanks at all costs (I gave away the rhino in exchange for the opportunity to raid his BitzBox when i feel the need) Apart from a Baneblade (<3)

Obliterators were also on the checklist and a unit of Terminators to act as Hurons bodyguard. The next item was a unit of Noise Marines as they have rather nice rules in the new book.

However, all of this I would happily change. This is my first proper army in 40K so i am just seeking any and all help that can be given.
Pity the poor Nooby =P*

(By pitying me you sign over your soul and all worldly posessions. This is a perfectly legal transaction under the act of GIMME subsection B4, paraphrase 7. Thank you )
