3000 - 5000 point game, the number of detachments of a Chaos army is
not SO large (and still they must be close to check animosity), the
time loss is not significant. Ork armies also have to check wether
Nobz are in distance, Tyranids have to check hive mind radius and IG
also do for command radius. Has anyone even whispered about modifying
this rules to speed up the game? Is it so stressful to measure 30cm
and then roll a die before activating a detachment? I don't think so.
It's just a matter of playtesting.

With IG, Tyranids and Orks you only have to check distance of the
nearest HQ unit to see if they are in range. With Chaos, you need to
check every unit that might be within 30cm of the activated
detachment each time, to check animosity. Personally, I like the
animosity thing all the way, but also have to admit that could be
boring measuring distances every single activation or waiting your
opponent to do so...
