Hi again!
just some comments...

I don't think so. Beacon is a very limited defensive power, and cancellation
is a good power although only defensive. Beacon is a power which may be
useful if allowed no unit limit. If not it's not worth the points (which
doesn't mean that against Chaos Astropaths are not useful. They are
necessary to stop demons)

I agree with you and add that physical attacks and shooting for enemy
psikers are only possible against the Beacon. If they can't shoot him they
won't shoot and will move next turn against it. Perhaps this is too unreal,
as Warlocks are not stupid but Daemons are attracted by psykers and would go
for them.

Chaos cards are the worst "unit" in tha chaos force. Not only greater
daemons are tough but also take at least two or three turns to go down
because of the cards (At least, when you take down one, the others follow
quickly).
