I can't really speak authoritatively about what's best at 500 points because the smallest games of TOW I've played have been at 1000 points, but I would caution against going below 10 models in a unit of infantry. Even chaos warriors, as tough as they are & no matter how many dogs you sacrifice will eventually get shot at and you'll want as many bodies in that unit as possible. What will a 5th knight really do for you? 2 more attacks on the charge? In exchange for immediately giving up your warriors' rank bonus the second one of them dies? Terrible trade, if you ask me. Anyway, you really don't need to worry about these small optimizations. Go with what you think would be the most fun! And then take what you find the most fun and use it as a base as you work up to 1000 points and 1500. That's when the game gets really good! This is more or less what my army looked like at 1000 points and looking back, those were the most fun games of TOW I played.
