I like your take on the one card per minon card deal, really good and it
controls itself.

As for the t-hawks I've used these with chaos forever and I dont see it too
disbalancing, remeber once AA was introduced into the game it made t-hawks a
very risky deal.

Correct Kelvin, there are no special chaos cards and you can ONLY take chaos
marine companies with the primarch as its "special" card. All other marines
you take as detachments are "generic" and have NO powers.

Hehe, we need to up his powers, but overall primarchs are way too useful and
should be slightly more expensive.

They're

I would mess with his table its good as is. As Kelvin points out you can
really screw yourself with a roll on the table.

I've tried this out a fair amount it isnt too bad, its range is short and
easily slain in close combat, leave as is.
