>This is about Yar first chaos codex (DOC version). I didn't have time to read pdf version but I hope that are equal.

More or less. Army construction has changed wording but is pretty much the same. There's a new section on Daemon Engines, and a lot of unit descriptions have been added.


>animosity rules: is good!

Thanks, but unfortunately (IMHO) Peter's idea seems to be more popular. ;)


>chaos card: why does not work on Greater Daemon also, like the old version?

Good point. I've changed the wording.


>Mark of Slaanesh and Mark of Nurgle: are psychic powers ?

I think Slaanesh is, and I've made a note in the description. The nurgle one isn't, but might not affect Inorganic units (I've made a note on that too, at the end of the Special Rules section).


>Breath of Nurgle: OK but is a daemon engines of nurgle ?

Nah - it's a Rhino with a sploogie-gun.


>Plague Tower:the same opinion in my first message

Ditto.


>Chaos Magi: Tzeentzch Terror Wave: Why "and may not use other powers while it is still on the table"?

All other psychics may only use one power in a turn. Allowing this guy to use two (the Terror Wave on the table plus one other) is unfair.


>Warp Vortex: most powerfull...is a psychic attack ?

Yes, and yes. It also have a 2-in-3 chance of going in a random direction. I found the fluff on some website and liked the concept enough to create a unit. Tzeentch needed more weird stuff anyway.


>Black Legion: lol, the player must sing!

Unfortunately, that seems to be voted out as well.


>Iron Warriors: imho is an error a chaos reward that work in a
particula situation.

Their reward in Net Epic 4.1 was double CAF in the same situation. I chose to increase it to triple because it was, in fact, such a limited-use situation. The CAF bonus is only +1 to +3 so it's not all that powerful, either. If you've got a better idea I'd like to hear it. Give one stand the "Destroys Buildings" ability for a turn?


>Chaos Android: WHY WALKER???

I don't remember. I'm sure I had a reason, but going over the various deacriptions doesn't give me a clue. Unless anyone can come up with a reason, they'll move over to infantry.
