It's not often you get some early rumors on what is being done, but today we have a little insight to where Chaos Space Marines are at currently.
First off, it's going to be awhile. Lets take a look at the rumors. These come from a reliable source, but these things are rather sketchy and vague at this point.
Please remember that these are rumors, and this release is a ways out. These are observations from a person who was in the right place at the right time.

Chaos Space Marines are currently being worked on. The models are not even finalized, but a book is being created, and I am assuming that it is a codex. The book is not coming for at least a year, the details are still being changed frequently, both the models dimensions and specific details.
Three interesting sightings
1. A field artillery battery manned by Chaos Space Marines, with tracks and barrels that looked like a quad mortar. Their armor was different , as it had plates on the front that looked similar to that of a Warpsmith. The helmets looked like Mk III
2. Chaos Sorcerer with staves that looked Chaos-y, one that was wearing a robe. None of the sorcerers had horns or spikes sticking out where I would have expected to see them. A group of them casting a psychic power with a Nova Blast effect.
3. New Predator Tank weapons that are not autocannons or lascannons. At least 2 new cannons being worked on, both are boxy with lights down the side, but no clues to what they do.
I saw no legion markings. All armor was a greasy metallic gray, or the subjects were illuminated in a reddish glow. Lights from the eyes of helmets are red or green.
There were no models of cult troops, heretics, or other infantry
There was also something referred to as a Wyrm with large armor plates reminiscent of a Forgefiend. No other details
