4,000 pts Black Legion w/CSM vs Raven Guard w/IG

[Akaiyou]

I'll be playing a Black Legion (double force org main detachment) using the BL Supplement.

I am aiming for a cool fun Black Legion theme that can compliment my friend's Chaos Space Marines (double force allied detachment)

And raise a bit of hell (pun intended) against our friend's combined Raven Guard and Imperial Guard team up.

I'm very interested in hearing suggestions, but please do follow these guidelines:

1. Only models (weapons NON-swappable) from the inventory list posted here
2. Theme is not absolute but certainly a big bonus for being taken into consideration.
3. My entire main detachment must be using the Black Legion Supplement as that is my selected force.

My first choice list is all about the BL theme, taking a lord (or sorcerer) of each of the chaos gods, as well as a unit of chosen (or terminators) marked to run around with the HQ. Also including a unit of CSM that will camp back field on the defense line with meltas to pop tough foes like an Iron Clad dread or a land raider rushing my lines. And of course 2 heldrakes to join up with my buddies' own heldrake for air domination.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
