I've decided to try playing my 30k army as 40k CSM. Considering the different unit structure, it requires a bit of finagling, but I think I've got it.
My kakophoni are acting as blastmasters, volkite weapons as Sonic weapons, and palatine blades as warp talons.
Without further ado, here's my 1500 or list:

++ Battalion Detachment +3CP (Chaos - Chaos Space Marines) [1500 pts] ++

+ No Force Org Slot +

Gifts of Chaos (1 Relic)

Noise Marines [11 PL, 220pts]
. 2x Marine w/ Blastmaster: 2x Blastmaster
. 7x Marine w/ Sonic blaster: 7x Sonic Blaster
. Noise Champion: Chainsword, Combi-bolter

Noise Marines [6 PL, 109pts]
. Marine w/ Blastmaster: Blastmaster
. 3x Marine w/ Sonic blaster: 3x Sonic Blaster
. Noise Champion: Chainsword, Combi-bolter

Noise Marines [6 PL, 95pts]
. Marine w/ Blastmaster: Blastmaster

+ Fast Attack +

Warp Talons [7 PL, 135pts]: Mark of Slaanesh
. 4x Warp Talon: 4x Lightning Claw (pair)
. Warp Talon Champion: Lightning Claw (pair)

+ Heavy Support +

Hellforged Deredeo Dreadnought [14 PL, 233pts]: Butcher cannon array, Greater havoc launcher, Twin heavy bolter

So this list isnt meant to be super competitive but I like some of the solid chaos combos. Even though it was an early codex, it's much more interesting that the bland astartes codex. For example:

Warp talons with warp time (psy power)- t1 charge to tie up key ranged units with no overwatch

Chosen with icon of excess and prescience (psy): extra attacks on a 4+ to hit
+excess of violence (1 pt strategem) gives extra hits for each unsaved wound (which can also trigger dttfe on a 4+)

Big squad of Noise marines with veterans of the long war and endless kakophani strategems (3 pts total) means 42ish s4 and 4d3 s8 ap-2 Dd3 with +1 to wound and ignores cover is crazy.

So im liking some of these combos but I'm not going for a complete min max competitive list specifically.

No more warp time into the warp talons

Yeah that's a huge bummer. I wish the deep strike reserve rules were even just slightly closer, like 8", so that you at least had like a 40% chance of making the charge. At 9", 28% chance, its just so risky without any additional help.

Yeah so I totally get why warptime/pod swarmy were disallowed IF ds still happened in turn 1. It's crazy powerful to be able to tie up the entire enemy army.
But now that ds is turn 2, melee armies kinda need an ability to guarantee that charge. Plus, it's not even guaranteed to work. It's a psychic power.
