Really?� I find Rhinos to be fine transports.� They are
certainly no worse than Ork Battlewagons or IG Chimeras.� With the
Bail-Out rule you have a chance at surviving plus I rarely see people
keep their units in the Transport for more than a single turn
anyway.
And why not just use Dreadclaws?� Aren't they the Chaos answer to
THawks?
They need some type
of transportation considering that the Company card doesn't provide
any).
Regardless of whether or not you use Thunderhawks or Rhinos, it would
take three support cards out of the five available to get Chaos Marines
into play.� That means there are only two support card slots left to
use other Chaos Marine forces with.� That was why I came up with
this
idea.
Then perhaps a Special Card of Rhinos or Dreadclaws to transport the
company card is the answer?
I agree with you
though that having this company has the potential to
make Chaos too much like the Marines.� However, Chaos Marines are
just
fallen Marines, so what is the difference?
I don't like the idea for this very reason.� If we give them units
like this then they just become "Evil Marines".� I think
that we should try and keep the Chaos Marines as being different for
reasons of variety and flavour.� Plus if you want a more palatable
reason: the Chaos Marine Legions are organised differently to the newer
loyalist chapters.� Havoks were attached to tactical companies as
support and not generally organised into companies of their own, a
tradition that has lasted until today.
Perhaps we could make a Havok company as an Iron Warriors only card (as
they'd likely use them as siege troops) but not for general Chaos Marine
use IMHO.
