Cool, feedback is good.

I deliberately removed fliers from the C-Squats. Having a Lammasu as
another specialist unit for the Worshippers would work though. I
don't want the C-Squats to just be a dark mirror of Squats, so no
need to "match".

Hobgoblins were related, but not mutated from, Goblins IIRC. They
also didn't have the usual Orky weaknesses, so I wanted them to not
by "Orky". As a slave race I didn't think they'd have their own tech.

- Bull Centaurs are stupid...probably couldn't load a missile
launcher :)

Could give them short range firepower aka Ogryns I guess. Not sure
I'm ok with the concept of highly mobile heavy weapons troops.

Umm, buggar. I guess we could change the Engineers of Khorne to the
Engineers of Hashut, and come up with a new name for the Worshippers
of Hashut....would that work?

Road Warriors was a homage to Mad Max :) Need to do better than
Guild of Fury to make me change lol.

They have one....do you mean transcribe the stats across from the
Chaos book? That's easy enough.

I like the chaotic-ness of it. In any case, FOs give over their shot
to call the arty so weapons are kinda redundant.

Because it can get you extra VPs and win you the game.

Ohh, I like that. Maybe a specialist superheavy unit for the
Engineers. Any ideas?

I'll add them as a support card. Should they be limited to Robot
companies?

Cybernetic? Do you mean AI? They are already fearless, and I was
going for the red mist type nordic berserker to fit the Khorne image.

CCs are pretty rare even in the Chaos list. I figured the C-Squats
would follow their own, unless you were talking a full Daemon Prince
or GD. Where would you put them?
