Blood Gorgons; Savvy?

Recently, I had the chance to re-watch all the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, and it got me to thinking about Chaos Marines in their renegade, piratical form. I set out searching for information, and the obvious choice would be to do an army of Red Corsairs, 40k's quintessential pirates. Not one to choose the easy path, I dug deeper, and remembered Henry Zou's Blood Gorgons. They meet the pirate criteria, and they have a similarity to Davy Jones and his ilk from the "Pirates" movies. For those who don't know, or who care, this is what the Blood Gorgons look like:

And their history: LINKY

So upon settling on them, with their cool backstory and Mesopotamian themes, I began searching for models to do them justice. They are described as wearing heavily corrupted power armor, encrusted in bone, barnacles, and other gribblies. Going off of that and the only image I could find of them, I realised that a combination of the newly released Dark Vengeance Chaos Marines, and the older Chaos Posessed models could do the trick. I'm also looking at some tulwars and swords/spears/shields from the Vampire Counts line. So before I put my order in with this coming paycheck, what say you? Am I headed in the right direction with these fellows?

It does sound a great idea.
Although I'd say a mix of ormal csm and berzerkers would be more than appropriate and all those possessed aren't nessacery.
