    How much can I upgrade a reg troop of chaos troops, 10 I believe,

    1 captian with power fist(claw) and a chaos lord plasma gun (w/chainsword underatachment)
    1 sorcerer (staff from chaos lord box) with plasma pistol
    1 marine with tau gunship machine gun arm, and one possessed flamer arm
    1.icon bearer with duo lightning claws
    just to name a few

    are these playable or too over powered?

    Not sure what you're trying to ask. Please elaborate further if you please.

    I have no idea where you are getting the Tau Gunship from but Regular Chaos Space Marines can have up t0 20 marines in them and Cultists can have up to 30.

    A lord can't have a Plasma gun, and having an underatached chainsword does nothing rules wise. He can, like the Aspiring Champion (ie Captain) have a powerfist and/or a chainsword and a Plasma 'Pistol' though.

    Sorcerers with Plasma Pistol? That's not overpowered at all. Most Psychic powers replace shooting phase, so the best case is that the weapon is wasted a lot of the time.

    You can't give any model a weapon from another army unless the rules state otherwise. A Chaos Marine with a gunship machine gun arm, I'm assuming Burst Cannon in this regard, could be a 'conversion' to depict a Heavy Bolter easily though.

    An icon Bearer with duo Lighting Claws... Its possible. In fact the Chaos Codex says that ANY model in a unit of Chaos Marines can wield the banner. That said, only an Aspiring Champion can have a set of power claws. I would take Lighting Claws over a Captain with a powerfist only because a Melta Bomb is that much more effective against tank or walker armor anywise.

    Thanks for the input, I guess ill use my marines as just converted pieces tho,
