Looks like someone beat me to it!

I'd like to see this too.

Why is everyone so against Chaos getting Thunderchickens? We are happy to
let Chaos use Thunderchickens with the following restriction: like our
Cultist-IG rule, for every Minion Card of Chaos Marines you buy, you can
buy a Thunderchicken that must be taken under the same Daemon as the
Marines. This Thunderchicken can ONLY carry the marines it was bought for.
 No Daemons or other Marines or Cultists or Monsters flying in it. This
represents Renegade Marines bringing some of their specialist gear with
them. They wouldn't let anyone else use it either.

With this rule we cut back on the abuse of the Thunderchickens by Chaos and
it gave a good feel to it too.

These were introduced as a response to the newer 40K lists. I quite like
them as long as they are kept to a minimum (only one Card per army).
Perhaps they should be moved to the Alternative Rules, but I don't think
they need eliminating.

>> K) Chaos Recruits, get rid of them.

I agree with this.

>> L) Titans, should be a Special Card.
>> M) Chaos Marine Legion, should be a Special Card.

But Chaos don't HAVE Special Cards. The Marine Legions are an extra Minion
Card that can only be taken under their Primarch (kind of like a Special
Card). Otherwise you have to take Marines as Minion cards.

>> O) Primarchs, increase cost to 350pts.

Not for the pathetic Slaneesh one. He sucks.

Something does! If you fail the shield roll, you roll on the Generator
Damage Table. This can easily result in the Gargant blowing up! And if
you fail the shield save, then the shot gets through which can again easily
result in the Gargant blowing up! Mekboy Gargants are fine as is. They're
fun and silly. Perfect for an Ork army.

Same here. They don't like Grots or Orks. I know I wouldn't.
