Hi,
I have been out of it for a few weeks with work but I
have seen the posts on Chaos equipment. If I
understand correctly Chaos can't have landspeeders,
vindicators, whirlwinds, T-Hawks and predators, but
rhinos and landraiders are ok. What is left but
troops? Couldn't we make the Chaos player pay an
additional 50-100 points for the banned vehicles since
they have no way of producing more? Or limit them to
one banned vehicle support card per company? What
about the Chaos companies that have been teinted but
don't have a demonic primarch to lead them? I think
they should have the vindicator simply because it is a
powerful tank but has limited range. It seems like a
good fit for Chaos. Not a typical FF tank but move
with the troops and support. Just some thoughts.
