This sounds O.K. to me. I can understand the anguish at losing the Hardpoint.

This actually sounds semi-useful now. I always got really grumpy at the way GW
would do groovy stuff for all the Powers except Slaneesh. He seems to be the
out-of-favour power of the GW staff.

Well, I was suggesting that they not become actual Special Card for Chaos, but
Special Minion Cards. They still take up a Minion Card slot, but are "Special"
in that each Daemon can only take ONE Special Minion Card in its retinue. I
think this will go a long way to reducing the abuse of allowing Marine and IG
gear for Chaos without stopping people who wish to use it.

I think the other main issue is that they don't get a special bonus of 40VPs
before the game starts simply because they are Chaos and will always win in the
end! Mwahahahahaha! ;-)
