My son made me buy a squad of chaos marines, and I am really glad he did. These dudes look amazing, and very tweakable posture-wise. We spent the afternoon assembling and giving them names. The 1000 kill team is just 4 guys (maybe points could be squeezed 5). And you can buy a box of 5 cultists for like 10 bucks to complement them.
The Chaos cultists are awesome. I really want to run a whole kill team of them and use Genestealer Cult rules or something. They remind me of the Redemptionist gang from Necromunda.

Not if you add NEON.
Chaos Cultists mostly have the same weapons as GSC. But I wouldn't use the GSC's equipment with them because they have those mining suits and integrated work lights. Which don't make sense for Cultists. I would come up with some kind of respawn or frenzy rule for them. I think they'd be fun in huge groups (15-20) and then have a CSM as a SO. Or maybe a daemon!
It might be fun to give them And They Shall Show No Fear...they'd be cheap, weak, and fight to the death.

Yeah, if you used GSC rules you wouldn't use mining lasers and the other. Just the standard stuff and heavy stubbers, etc.
For SO, you can use the Genestealer stats for a horror/daemonette.
I'm not keen on house-ruling a list from scratch, not that the game is acutely balanced.

I am kind of thinking about doing a Thousand Sons CSM team.

Thousand Sons would be awesome (I've seen a few Kill Teams done up that way). I'm running a Slaanesh CSM team.

The new Death Guard models are making the rounds...they look freaking awesome. Cultists are also in the 8th starter, I bet they will be new sculpts. That kit is REALLY long in the tooth.

And, sweet Khorne, the CSM. I have way more fun painting them then expected. I thought they'd be like painting a 40K version of Bloodwarriors, but they're frankly so much more. I don't think I'll be able to go back to vanilla ultramarines ever again. The chaos dudes are just way more interesting. I'm even starting to get interested in their lore.

The way I see it, it is better to build a core team of marines and add some cheap cultists now and then. If the cap was at 15 models, like genestealer cults, maybe a strength-in-numbers strategy would be more attractive.
