...with no Plague Marines!

Looking at this, it makes use of the new formations to get buffs where possible. Warband gives VotLW to all units, CoD gives one squad a second shot every turn and the TAF gives targeted for annihilation.

Question is, for a tourney, is this filthy enough to ensure my DG don't finish last?

Well, i honestly think that the terminator formation is just crap. you pay a chaos lord tax to shoot an extra reaper cannon here an there, on a random turn after the first...wow, much value, so heresy. Those three units might as well be suicide melta-plasma squads. i'd consider using, for the same points (an astoundig 540ish) another beefed up COD. you still get to shoot twice, but with better weapons and fro turn1, not relying on unreliable deepstrike and reserve rolls.
Then, chosens with combiplasma...just find 20 pts somewhere and give them regular plasmaguns. otherwise they just are a one trick pony.
About the havocs, i'd go full melta and have the lord ride with them, with another combimelta or powerweapon.
Regular marines could use flamers and meltabombs for that extra flexibility and cover removal goodness, but thats just my playstyle.
what do you think of this stuff?
cheers and GLORY TO CHAOS!
