As far as release schedule, its still too early to say, and these rumors are trying to say Legions of Chaos will be further down the road. Personally with the way the rumor mill has been hitting, I think we will see Chaos Legions next year, just too many sources claiming it will be before or right after our 6th edition release next summer.
These are rumors, please take with salt.

Chaos seems to be coming out around the new 40k rule book, which is rumoured for release next summer.
I believe someone started a rumour a couple of months ago, cannot remember who, stating that chaos would be the first (hardback???) release for the new rulebook.
The starter set(s) are Chaos and Dark Angels; this was the original rumour; however, this was quickly trashed by saying that Dark Angels would NOT be in the starter set. Chaos does seem to be there though.
Apparently Imperial Guard renegade armies will be a part of the Chaos release.

the first thing i have to say is that there are 2 chaos books planed
one more renagade based the other legion based the legion one will be that, dudes who are 10000 years old kicking ass n taking names
there "may" be a inquisitor whos gone bad but really expect new guys in the renegade one
its lost and the damned influenced... but it has other options....
also 2012??...maybe at a push

Just asked my source about the two Chaos books ghost21 mentioned. He said that Legions was coming first and that Renegades would first get a WD article soon after that and that a new Codex would come out later (about 1-2 years after the WD article).
